The Mk I eyeball.. anyone who was or is a British soldier understands this term..
As a Chieftain Tank commander and before the advent of GPS and laser rangefinders, I would have to establish a 1000m line as a general guide to rangefinding, using, yes, youv'e guessed it, the human, Mk I eyeball... any targets then appearing plus or minus of the established line could then be engaged with reasonable accuracy with the .50 ranging gun, ballisticly matched to the main 120mm tank gun.
See, that's when men were men and didn't rely on technology to get the job done! :mrgreen:
Oh, and why on earth does anyone want a 'stealth' mode on an aircraft that didn't have an ounce of stealth capability is beyond me.. all I can see is that someone wants to have an edge in game that literaly would give them invulnerability, and the ability to just attack and defeat any target with no risk to themselves... sad!
