p40.. in reality the reflector gunsight was not always reliable (bulbs could blow etc) the iron sight u see is the backup that actually existed.

I might be wrong..


heard someone say the d3a sight is actually a dive bomb sight

Wasn't the second sight on the P-40 used for dive bombing?

Ok,  u mean that the P40 actually had two gunsight and that we have the historically right setup of p40

And the D3A strange sight was a dive bomb sight also actually in the D3A, can we use those sights for something or ?

Heres the D3A sight im refering to:

Yes, the sight you circled is for divebombing. It works amazingly well with the driveflaps.

As plumbob said so I set up views like this:

1,Hat switch in default position (i.e not touching it) = forward view through gun site.

2, Hat switch pushed forward (or number 8 on the keypad) = looking through dive bomb site.
