gyro gun sight

[46_trap]

Have any of the a/c, stock or av history, have a gyro gun sight?

Yes, iirc the MAW/ETO Bf110 by Mathias, the ETO/AvH Meteor by JohnoUK have gyro sights. Mathias came up with the 'headshaker' code that makes this possible.

I am an allies guy.. But I did look at the bf110, it does have a gyro gun sight. You can tell, there is very little deflect . I would like to see it in the Tempest, that is the one a/c that I am sure had one. At least the Tempst II. ( but not in cfs3) I have found out that the p-51 probably did not have one, but there are indications that the P-47 did.
The guys that are dog fight fans, should ask why there are none for allied a/c. in CFS3..

Later editions of the Spitfire certainly used the gyro sight, Clive had a good pic of a MkIX recently with one showing in the pit.

EDIT: no, that was rcafmad's post of a Spit being painted in D-Day stripes: cheers, Mel!
