Title: gunsight dimmer
Post by: des506 on January 12, 2012, 12:15:24 AM

i believe in ww2... some aircraft were fitted with a gunsight dimmer... which makes perfect sense climbing into the sun... you could still see somewhat and still shoot..feasible?

How would dimming the gunsight help when climbing into the sun? If anything you should make it brighter.

They aren't talking about dimming the illuminated reticule, they are talking about an additional, tinted, pane like a sunglass.
