Albatross gun sights.

Hello again. I'm having a little trouble sighting the guns correctly, It there a pilot view that allows me to align my eyes with the fore and rear sights on at least one of the machine guns? Thanks for any help.

usually people will use the retaining wire cross section as a reference point to fire from instead of the optical scope.

Hi, alan.g.hume,

will walk you through the process of aligning your gun sight. If you follow this process for each of the airplanes that you fly, the next time you fly that particular plane again your gun sight will still be aligned and ready to use.

Thanks,
Good Luck

At the close ranges of WW1 dogfights, I just find it easiest not to bother with aiming using the ironsights, and instead 'aiming with the plane's nose', then walking the tracers onto the target.

Don't worry about the sights on the guns themselves. In fact, I don't really think there is a aircraft in Rise of Flight that really uses whatever sights are on the gun as the primary means of aiming.

For the Albatros specifically, you have a few options. The first is the various gunsights you can add in the aircraft setup screen. Depending on the Albatros model, you will have sights ranging from a traditional two part metal gunsight to a Aldis style sight, and even a reflector sight on the Albatros D.Va.

If you opt not to use any of the sight options available, you can always just use the small radiator cap that is protruding from the top front of the engine as a aim point. That is a fairly reliable way to do it and even after using all the other sights, I still think this is the fastest, most convenient method.

thanks . That is where my experience so far has taken me. Now if I could hold my line as I approach the target, I'd be Erik von Gasoven
