Incorrect Gun sight reticle on F-86...


Recommended Posts

When will the I correct gunsight reticle(?sp?) be fixed to properly represent the actual gunsight in the F-86? It should be a complete circle with a center dot. Not the current gunsight which is more a WW2, or MiG-15 Gunsight...

please attach any evidence you have to support this and I will ask the team, as far as I am aware it is modelled correct for the A-4 gunsight  

thank you

Ok this is a rushed example. I do not know what actual version of the F-86 this clips is from. These are live camera shots from an F-86's cockpit (not gun camera footage) during air to air training. It's a clip showing a practice fight with another F-86 and a practice interception of a B-29. There is.live footage of this on many different videos on YouTube. Let me know  if you would like a link. Thanks.

For what it's worth, page 4-23 of the 1960 F-86F manual explains that dot and circle pipper layout was a feature of an early A-1CM gunsight, while later A-4 unit had the circle replaced with 10 diamonds.

DCS Sabre is a late, post-Korean War version and thus is equipped with the latter gunsight model.

Thank you for that update. Do you know if there will there be a Korean War version of the F-86 released? An A or an E version?

F-86 has been, basically, forgotten by ED. It's ballistics are still demonstrably incorrect and we've had our community guys kick up a stink about it. They just don't want to change those lines of code for whatever reason. REALLY makes me want to buy more of their gunfighters!

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
