Title: Gyro gunsights
Post by: SpyHawk on August 20, 2000, 07:39:00 AM

Just wondering, they did have gyro sites in WW2 (didn't the Mustang and Typhoon have one?). Will we ever get any kind of lead computing sight?

PS: Yes the reason I ask is because my gunnery sucks and I'm looking for a crutch. Albeit a historical crutch. - At least I'm being honest here  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I asked HT once online if a Gyro gunsight would be modelled inn AH, and he told me that definitely not.

There is,he said, too many problems with people squeaking about long range shooting and accuracy of weapons (he is right), to add a gunsight like that.

I only can agree with him.

I asked him,too if there was some thought on putting 2 Gunsights for each plane, one for A2A and one for A2G. He told me that he didnt knew at the time, but that it wasn't probable.
