Lookin for new gunsights

[Phoenix3107]

Does anyone have any idea where I could download some new gunsights for the AH planes? Can't seem to find any.

For just general fighting, dive bombing, air to air rocket? Any plane in particular you need a sight for?

If anyone wants the B25H 6000yd and the 410 5000 yd gunsights, I'll have to put them back up at my down load site.

The Revi gunsight, Revi C\12F that was used for aiming the WGr2 21 air to air rocket is a clunky nightmare. It's basically a C\12 with an addon optical unit. I've found some documents that talk about aiming the rockets and attack strategies. Seems one common method was being higher than the target to take advantage of the known trajectory drop and time to detonation based on your current speed. Everything was generally about attacking heavy bombers because they had to fly predictable flight paths.

[bustr]

So I found out what the special Revi C\12 F optical adaptor to aim the 21 cm Bordraketenanlage does.

The 21 cm Wgr has a right hand spin that pulls it off it's flight path laterally by 40 degrees at about 1200m. This is due to a strong Magnus Effect. The optical adaptor has a mirror that creates a lateral shift in the projected reticle. The shift could be adjusted for range.

Early Fw190 groups were told to adjust their aim manually to account for this. The rocket tubes were generally set for an 8 degree positive azimuth resulting in a detonation point at about 1200m or 5.5sec. While diverging 40 degrees right lateral to the target due to the Magnus Effect.

Your aircraft's speed will directly affect the distance at which the timer goes off. The timer was a 30sec timer while the rocket was most often set for 5.5 sec. By 7sec the lateral shift was almost 50 degrees. The fuse was a timer\contact fuse. A table for using the 21cm in an Fw190 shows the following for the timer.

800m   4.4sec 8 degree 
1000m 5.0sec 8 degree
1200m 5.5sec 8 degree

4.4sec = 34 degree Mag eff
5.0sec = 37 degree Mag eff
5.5sec = 40 degree Mag eff

German pilots hated this thing even if it had a devastating effect on bombers.

Wonder if our game rocket has a right hand Magnus Effect? Even the MK108 30mm round had one. Almost 2ft at 400m.
