Hello, and Thanks for this outstanding work. I've always been irritated at the size of the USN Mk 8. Thanks so much for correcting this and many other inaccuracies in the gun sight area. Your work is much appreciated and is gold plated beauty.
A few items:
1. I'm 100% sure that the F4U-1 carried the USN Mk 8 and not an N3. There is a ton of photographic evidence of this. (unfortunately the sight in the Corsair I cockpit - in game - looks like an N3, however this is inaccurate.)
2. Even though the in game cockpit of the P-51B, P-51C and Mustang III show an N-9, they actually were equipped from the factory with various versions of the N3 - usually the N3B I think - with a 70 mil diameter reticle.
3. According to "The First Team" by John Lundstrom, p. 468; the F4F-3 was equipped with an N2AN with a 35 mil radius (70 mil diameter) reticle.
Keep up this great work It's absolutely great.
