Nice gunsight. Incidentally, a friend of mine owns a vintage USN Mk. 8 gunsight and the reticle on his sight looks exactly like the one in the game, including the "100 mils". Perhaps there was some variation during it's long production run. (I believe it was made well into the 1950s)
That got me to thinking. The only thing I don't like about the Mk. 8 sight in the game is that it's too small. The Mk. 8 sight had a 100 mil radius so an A6M5 would fill about 36 mils of the sight at .3km (about 1000 feet) In the sight in the game the A6M5 fills almost the entire center ring of the sight (equivalent to 100 mils) at that range.
Perhaps it's not practical to make the sight that big. Anyway your sight looks great.
