Grandpa’s Comments\/Reviews<\/h3>\n

I have experimented with the recommendations of using Gunsight and Marksmen on those aircraft with 30mm and higher guns.\u00a0 Specifically the P39N\/Q, A6M3, and Bf-109Z.\u00a0 Using Gunsight I do see a significant increase in the number of hits.\u00a0 Then when I apply marksman, not so much, that may get better with the 2nd Marksman skil, but haven’t earned enough points to test.\u00a0 I do believe the Gunsight is valuable on those higher caliber weapons.<\/p>\n
