AA Sight design

Post by railsplitter »

What is the design concept for the Spider type AA sight design. How does it aide in getting on target? :?: :WTF: :?:

Basically, you place the center of the aircraft on a the first or second concentric ring, depending on how far away it is and it's angular velocity relative to your location. The center of the spider sight should be on a line extending forward from the nose of the aircraft, so that the aircraft appears to be flying toward the center point of the sight. As you fire, the bullets travel to a point in front of the aircraft. By the time the bullets get to that point in space, the aircraft will be at the point. Crash & burn. The hole at the end of the hook shapes rear sight should be lined up with the center of the forward spider sight.

Are there 2 parts to the MG34 Anit Aircraft sight? I was under the impression it was just the spider sight. Is that right?
