It can definately be learned to some extent. I have taken people who couldn't ever hit anything at deflection and made snipers out of them...Just like any other gunnery there will be some kind of upper limit of individual proficiency based on innate aptitude and proclivity for 'feeling' deflection...

Sorry, I used my reply as a bump. I have been asked about the thread alot since I went to help Knights. They are curious how I do what I do having now witnessed the results of my system first-hand...I wanted to make the thread easier to find than through the search algorythm.

I wish I could, films don't work for the Ostwind. The film view stays in relation to the positional heading of the chassis, it does not traverse with the turret. So, you can't see where I am aiming or what I am shooting at...I hope this gets fixed. It's really, really hard to explain the aiming process in words, with one film I could turn the entire AH population into anti-vulcher snipers...I can only imagine the amazing furballs we'd then have...

maybe you can post a few screen shots takin in the game as you shoot. Will most likely "toast" your shot while doing it, but you can pass up a couple kills for the masses can't ya ?  :)

Ditto the request.

With a giant "duh," I've just realized that films can be a goldmine for learning gunnery -- by taking mental "snapshots" of the gunsight relative to the target at the instant the good guners fire.

If you ould take screenshots at the critical moment...even if its just before the shot...would be a great visual help.

...and a year later, thanks.  I can't hit the ground in an Ostwind.  I've always assumed Dale put special code in the GV model to assure my vehicles are all loaded with blanks.

...not unlike the special code he put in aircraft, bombs, ship guns...

...and PUNT...
