Birko Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 Anybody know if the Mk. II gyro was fitted to Mk IX spitfires? I've heard a number of IX's were retrofitted with them since the sight was introduced, but also that those spits were actually XVI's. If they were found in Mk. IX's in decent numbers in '44-'45 it would be a nice historical option for our spit in DCS going forward :) 1

DD_Fenrir Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 2nd TAF had a number fitted during the late spring prior to D-Day.

Birko Posted November 29, 2019 Author Posted November 29, 2019 Yeah, that one ^ It's very similar to the K-14 in the mustang, I think the K-14 was based on the Mk. II gyro
Magic Zach Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 I'd like to see it, for historical reasons. However, considering how horrid the view is below the nose, I don't think it would be used much.

71st_AH Rob Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 All Mk IX's still in squadron service with 2 TAF definitely had the Mk II Gyro Gunsight fitted by May 44. In all probability ALL Mk IX's still in Squadron service had them prior to D-Day. 1

The gun/cannon harmonization could be different for gyro sight. System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor
