Iron sights for heavy flak.
Captain Phil:
Iron Sights would be nice on the heavy flak, and maybe even on the mine launcher have you guys thought about that?

A quote from AWKM about this topic when someone brought up the HF sights elsewhere:
--- Quote ---The heavy flak is one of the oldest guns. It was finished before any gameplay feedback got added to it. If we were to use the sights on it, the cannon would occlude a huge amount of screen real estate. Furthermore, the sights don't help for drop. The LJ is a good example of sights that work quite well.

To be quite honest I don't see why that would be a problem and judging from the visible part of the iron sights the Heavy Flak has, they would be quite useful, it might not have numbers, but the multiple circles it has can be used to estimate shots.
Also, Twin Heavy Carronade, that's an example of a gun that takes up a lot of the screen.

While I'll agree about the screen space, I half agree with the accounting of drop. The sights would allow for an estimation of the drop (ex. watching the shot drop from the 3 to 1 line, assuming sights are modeled after the lumberjack).
Even if you don't need the sight for drop estimation, it's still a good tool to judge range and then adjust for drop.

From when I made the same suggestion for more than a year ago. You'll see that it pretty much covers your whole sides. Could be cool though.
