40M Nimród.

[Volron]

I'm starting to think that lyric MIGHT want the Nimrod added.  Not too sure though.

Needs 10% more pictures to be clear.

Bunch of close up detailed photos.

Some of these are new pictures I found some are already posted before in this thread.

Can you get any info on the optical gunsight mounted in the turret?

[bustr]

The two optical gunsights were for the following:


You can see two one (a horizontal and vertical sight) because there were two man who aimed the weapon. On the right side the man was responsable for the leading the target, eg he needed a vertical sight on the left hand other hand the gunner controlled the elevation of the gun so he needed a horizontal sight. The Hungarian 36 M 40mm AA gun was more advanced than the British or Amerivan 40 mm bofors, it had an analog ballistic computer where they can set the datas of the enemy plane (range, speed, angle of attack) and this computer turned/elevated the sights so the crew only had to put the target in the center of the reticle. If there were an aiming error than they can easily correctly. This little thing meant that they need one more person to handle the gun so this was the main reason why the modified the turret of the Nimród.

Page #2 in this thread is what I found on that.

Most likely candidate for the Hungarians.
m 34/38 juhasz-gamma loelemkepzo.

One photo I have supports your point on the vertical & horizontal.

The first image is to small to see well.

I have seen this sight on google though for the Nimrod. Could never find any supporting documents to verify it until your post.

I would pattern the horizontal reticle and let the player worry about the lead.

Do you have a larger version of the drawing you posted before?

[bustr]

Sorry I don't. I collect random reticle and gunsight pictures as I research on the Internet just incase Hitech cuts it's ride loose in the game. That book impresses me that it can be found as an Hungarian language manual if you do searches in google using Hungarian. Amazing what I found about the PAK and PBP gunsights once I started searching in Cyrillic. Any chance you know the diameter of the aperture?

I suppose I should go through the trouble of getting a kanji Japanese set installed so I can search that way in Japanese.

Does anyone have any pics of the 40M?

No but I shall dig about.

Edit-> 45 MM maybe?

I have another that has not been posted before.

These as well.

I'll bet it's a tossup between 100-120 Mil. I would need the gun in the game and the offline target. Wonder if the optical sight is Swedish or German? Looks a bit like a Revi 1 or 4. Reticle are just inserts with ground in, perforated, or painted structures.
