Do you give gunnery lessons?
As well as flying lessons, I can't stay on a bogey long enough to kill it with .303s, I have a hard time killing a bogey with 6 American 50 cals.
Actually, i think my gunnery sucks. But heres what i do:
- Tracers off
- convergence all 8 guns 175
- get up close and personal for shooting (d200 and closer) anything further out is just for 'spooking' as it does no real damage
- short half to one second bursts only
- aim for cockpit or horizontal stabs (wingroots on Zeke and Spits)
- PATIENCE, its no use firing the 303s if youre not sure your hitting anywhere close to convergence (ive pumped my entire ammo into another plane, spread all over. He looked like swiss cheese but was still flying)
The problem with the Mk1 is, when someones fighting you smart, hes got no trouble staying out of your gun range. The trick is to make him impatient and get him to blow his E and start turning with you. Thats when they sign their death warranty. So its more about evading BnZ attacks and your own patience.
Im always willing to go TA or DA. Just holler if you see me online. I fly European evenings. But im not sure whos gonna give whom lessons
