I know skywolf, but the title also shows up in the window representation in the taskbar and having something like "Sodas ......" in there will make it easier to find when multiple windows are open.

That may happen. I am working with some of Kweassa's data right now to see how it turns out. It's very interesting and I think the results are looking good.

I can't wait to see those diagrams! Thanks for the reply and keep up the good working!

I'll fix the title with the next release, it's about a 2 second fix. Not sure how that snuck through but obviously I missed it.

I should have an update posted fairly soon. I have a couple of updates based on changes and the new aircraft but things have been a bit slow. Summer is always that way and I have a couple of other side-projects I'm working on right now. Should certainly have the P-47N, an update to the 190D9, maybe a P-38 model update also.

You get many kills beyond 350?

Russian cannons are the best.I will decenerate you way beyond 350 in any sovet aircraft,and dont come to me any closer than 1000 when i'm in il2.

A couple of things:

1) There is no such thing as an aimed shot at D1000 because of the divergence of rounds at those ranges. The actual hit pattern looks like a shotgun at those distances so any round that does land isn't really aimed but more just luck. Aimed would indicate you intend most rounds to hit, not hoping a couple will.

2) The La7 writeup was done for AH1 where the long-range shooting ability of the La7 was markedly inferior to most other aircraft. For something with 3 cowl mounted cannons, which should give near-optimal convergence over most distances, the La7 did not have any reputation for long-range hitting power. In AH2 with the generally reduced distances this isn't nearly as noticable an issue.
