I am looking for where I can find information on the type of Gun sight being used in each aircraft.  Searches have not been forthcoming.  Reticle sizes have been hard to come by in internet searches when I type in the respective gun sight.  I have the pilot operating instructions for the below aircraft plus other gunnery manuals, but that  has been minimally helpful.

 

First and foremost I am looking to confirm which fixed reflector gun sight is is installed in each of the USAAF flyable aircraft and their associated reticle diameter in mils.  I will worry about the other nations at a later time.

 

A-20B                                         mils     sight not labeled in the game

P-38J-25        Linn L-3                 mils     sight not labeled in the game

P-39L-1                 N-3            70 mils     sight is labeled in the game

P-40E-1                N-3A          70 mils     sight is labeled in the game

P-47D-22              N-9?        100 mils     sight not labeled in the game/gunnery manual uses the P-47 and a 100 mil reticle

P-47D-28              N-9?        100 mils     sight not labeled in the game/gunnery manual uses the P-47 and a 100 mil reticle

P-51B-5                 N-3B          70 mils    sight is labeled in the game

P-51D-15               N9-1        100 mils    sight is labeled in the game

 

Thank you in advance.

For the P-47 it's the Mark 8 gunsight, which is 100 mils, per VikS.

A20 - N3B

P-38 - Lynn L-3

70 mils both

Thank you very much for the information.  It helps quite a bit.  Will help me knowing when the target is at 1000 feet in each reflector sight.
