SNIP of lots

The Germans continued to use such sights longer than others,
it seems -- but they made relatively little use of gun turrets.
IIRC one US bomber group also used them on the waist gun
positions of B-17s, with good results.

Cheers for that, it all makes sense!

I guess though - no matter what sight adjustments you make - having a sharp,
skilled and determined gunner is what makes the difference. I don't imagine
that in combat you'd be crouched over you gun and squinting through the
sights hoping the drift's correct when the enemy's bearing down on you,
cannons blazing!

Or even being mindful of your training:

'Short bursts, aimed with appropriate deflection, at threatening targets
within range. Conserve your ammunition."
