A-4 Gun-Bomb-Rocket Sight
Weapons aiming is accomplished using the A-4 gun-bomb-rocket sight. For air-to-air combat, accurate
target range is automatically fed to the sight by the AN/APG-30 range-finding radar mounted in the
nose. In case the radar malfunctions or provides poor results, aiming can be accomplished by
manually entering target range and wingspan data. The A-4 sight also provides computed aiming
against ground targets when employing bombs and rockets.
The A-4 sight uses a complex system of gyroscopes to calculate aim. These are sensitive to aircraft
maneuvering, which can damage the equipment or cause errors in calculations. To prevent this, the
sight is “caged” at all times other than an active target attack. Press R.Alt +R.Shift+ H to decrease
the sight brightness in darker conditions and R.Shift + R.Ctrl+ H to increase when needed.
