Just great man. I'm very happy about this.
To give some insight on it's operational use:
Gefr Ernst Schroeder, pilot, II.Sturm/JG300:
'' My staffel kapitan and I had had a test gyro sight installed in our aircraft. With the aid of this sighting mechanism I was able to down two B-24s within seconds. The [first] aircraft turned on it's side and plunged. Also, the neighbouring machine was already smoking from a previous attack. Both left engines were burning. I only needed to change aim to shoot again. Then this one stood in bright flames. The new aiming device was functioning astonishingly. I was so surprised and fascinated that I flew alongside my victim and stared at the metro-high flames which were pouring out of this Liberator all the way back beyond the elevator. Then this great machine clumsily laid itself on it's back and went down...''
Schroeder flew Fw-190 A-8 Red 19 ''Kolle-alaaf''
