PBJ-1 should get a bomb sight

It’s a B-25 with a naval paintjob and a non-glass nose. And before you say bomb sights are tied to vehicle tags (Strike, Bomber, Fighter, etc) The French fokker has a bomb sight whilst being a strike aircraft.

Well it wasnt fitted with one.

Most bombers in WT weren’t.

He meant that it wasn’t fit with a bomb sight in real life… and that why it doesn’t have in game also.

It did though. It simply used the inferior sperry bombsight instead of the norden bomb sight

Hes referring specifically to the solid nose PBJ (and B-25) which didn’t have a bombsight due to the entire bombier station being swapped out for the guns.

Some planes with a solid nose do have a traditional bombsights, just obviously not in the nose. The Fokker G1 had one in the belly for the rear gunner/bombadier/radio operator (he was a busy man) although its hard to find a pic.

The TBD Devastatior had a similar problem but the solution was to place it at the front of the bomb bay behind a flat panel.
