B-25 Gunsight
« on: March 31, 2008, 12:06:03 PM »
OK I tried doing a search but came up with nothing. Anyway has anyone designed a gunsight for the B-25H with a ranged retical for the 75mm cannon?

Any info would be appreciated.

I downloaded your gunsight collection, thanks for posting it.   

Are any of the marks on this sight for level dropping of bombs or are all the markings for the cannon ?

Thank you for any advice.

Cartoon Flyer, your very welcome sir.

Drop into the TA, load up your b25h, approach the target between 200 & 300 feet AGL.
Full speed is best, really low and really fast. You'll see where your release point is if you
have bombs selected. (Green X for bomb impact point) Should be down near the bottom of the gunsight glass.
Pull up just a bit after you drop, below 400 feet you can blow your own tail off.

With a bit of practise the fast and low level bomb run works very very nicely in the B25's.

I have had this in my B25 since it came out and love it.  Have gotten solid hits on GV's from about 3k out... and I was shooting at friendlies.  :devil  Never realized how fast you can end up in the tower!  :rofl

Anyone mind just putting the gunfight picture up here so that I don't have to re download the whole pack?

Thanks,

   MGD made one. I use it and when Im using it alot, like everything else in the game you get a feel for it. When Im on, I can fire at a gv from 3k, fire again around 2k, 1.5 and 600 or so, putting rounds right near the target at 3.0 (pt boats and soft vehicles die) and getting closer to the target each round as I approach. However I try to break off at 1.5 to avoid the flaknasties.
