Fantastic Work... Can't wait for this to be finished...

On which gunsights should be fitted to which planes, the P47C - D15 (this includes our D10) all used the N-3A gunsight.

N-3A (minus reflector mount)

N-3A reflector mount

The entire effect would have looked something like this (This is a N-3B, I don't think the N-3A has the rotating dial but I could be wrong)

The L3 (P38) sight makes a good stand in for the N-3A for our D10's

From the D15 onwards (our D22 'Razorback', and D25/D25 Late) were all fitted with the MkVIII gunsight. This is the gunsight we see in game...

The SBD-5 has probably the closest gunsight to the MkVIII. Its textures though are pretty ugly.

The F4F gunsight is close behind for perfection but is much better modeled. I think 99% of gamers would be happy with either of these sights...

Thanks for all the hard work
