This is my first ever SH4 mod, so be gentle :P

Bought SH4 & U-Boat missions last week, but have some 3D / modding experience so decided to fix something about the 20mm single's gun sight as I was having some issues with target visibility after getting caught wanting to shoot the damn gnats buzzing around down.

I've made the following changes to make the use of the 20mm AA Gun more useable, without affecting realism. (Hopefully the zoomed view is actually more realistic now than the "nose on" position of the original)

* Now has "thinned" sight struts.
* Moved the "Aiming Pin" to allow better visibility of the crosshairs
* Changed the initial/zoomed positions to reduce the "nose on the sight" issue of the zoom position.
* Calibrated the view so the sight is accurate @ 1000 yards.

I'm not sure if this gun was modded before I installed TMO163, so can't say whether it'll work on stock 1.4/1.5 until either it's tested or I learn more about what TMO changes, so feedback would be greatfully received, it was made partly out of my own necessity, and partly as a learning experience for import/export of 3D into SH4, hope somebody else finds it useful.

You can download here, just unzip to your mods directory and install with JSGME.

Thanks to WEBSTER for the suggestions for version 1.1, and to akdavis for his farsight mod so I could learn how to change the camera positions.
