There is another solution.

Don't use the gunsight. Seriously.

At the effective range the sight isn't necessary. (enemy fills the windscreen)

If your maneuvering or if the merge is at a crazy angle, you can't effectively use the sight anyway.

Imagine an arc drawn from the top of your vertical stabilizer forward to the propeller hub through your lift vector. As you merge, line this up w/ the enemy's flight path and give him the snap shot as he comes around. Even the spitfire's sight is useless here.

Remember that the gunsight is just an estimate. It's balls on when the enemy is parked at convergence, but when dose that happen?
