Ultra Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Which one do you prefer for air to air gunnery if given the choice between these sights?
gavagai Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Third option. I use the fixed dot in conjunction with the gyro sight on the P-51D, and I am very good at shooting with it. With the Fw 190D-9 I leave it as a fixed sight; the gyro sight floating around without any boresight reference is at best a distraction.

Ultra Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 I like making these polls. :D It's always interesting to see other people's preferences and tactics.
Random Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Both. Gyro for when i'm able to follow them smoothly. Line up and then the gyro works wonders. Fixed is better for snap shots while maneuvering in a less predictable way.
Solty Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Both in P-51 and fixed in Fw190 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.
