8.8cm Deck Gun Optics

[LukeFF]

I am looking for data/pictures related to the 8.8cm deck gun mounted on the Type VII U-boats. Namely, I am looking for the following information:

-Magnification
-Field of View
-Luminosity (i.e., did any markings on the optics illuminate when it was dark)
-Pictures/illustrations of the markings on the sights.

Even though this request is just for the 8.8cm, I would also be grateful for any info on the 10.5cm as well.

Thanks!

I can probably get you that, including reticle. Yes, reticles were illuminated for practically every large telescopic sight used by the Wehrmacht/KM/LW. BTW - which computer game are you doing this for?

Technically, it's for Silent Hunter 5, but I also like to have information like this on hand. In all the literature I've read on U-boats I've not read much on the intricacies of the deck gun optics.

And they are plenty intricate. Drop me a pm.

Havent forgotten. you want 10.5 and 8.8, but not 3.7, right?

If you have info on the 3.7, that would be great. Thanks again for your assistance in this.
