Gunsights

[Werewolf]

Hi there,
anyone in posession of a picture showing the original REVI gunsight used in WW2??? I want to edit it for use on the "other WW2 online sim".

Thanks in advance

In Osprey's late Marque Spitfire aces you'll find a pic, i'll try and scan it for you if  I have time.

Which raises another question, WHEN is someone going to model the superiority of the Allied gyro gunsights!?? and also the Allied advantage in G suits especially in P51s? it wasn't just all about the planes performance!

the above was why an allied novice would blow the brains out of a novice LW  pilot in the later stages of the war, oh and about 140 extra hours training but we cant simulate that

This is taken from a german guncamera film. I saw the original Revi on the web but can't remember the link. Anyway this is about what it looked like. The only thing missing are small horizontal and vertical lines all along the X- and Y-axis. Err..hard to describe..check out the Revi on Cuda's excellent gunsight page.

   

Before you sit down and get to work on your own Revi, ask IK, buile, konrad or anyone of JG 77..most of us use a very nice custom made REVI. (I can't access my home PC rigt now so I can't send it to you.. )

 For all the voices chiming in for realism I for one would add that I certainly hope the
aircraft have REAListic gunsights.
 Not some of these customisable gunsights
that look like they came out of Lucas'
"Starwars"
