flying an airplane is good for me, but what i notice so far in Gv fight in 8 player, i sux with my cannon. i can get a direct hit from like 600m but not from like 3k. i seen ppl in Gvland3 and 10 shooting from hills about 5k away and getting their shots land about 5m away from me until eventually they kill me, so how do i aim. any tips?

i can kill ppl from 600m away cuz i got my training from flying planes but gv i need help with long range firing.

go to the turret view. press Z to zoom. press [ and ] to zoom in and out. remember to account for drop in round trajectory over distance.

I was a bit bummed when I found out that I was lousy at ground vehicles. Then I realized that most of the expert ground vehicle soldiers are terrible at flying. So, I made a decision; I want to fly, not stick around on the ground. I'm not going to sacrifice a bit of my flying skill for some ground vehicle skill. I spend it all on flying.

When you are zoomed in you can use the range scale in the view more accurately in the picture attached you can see the range of the tiger is set at 1400 yards (14). If the round falls short you might raise the barrel to a longer range. After shooting make sure you reset your aim as the first shot and and notice where the round fell on range scale. If it fell against the 2000 distance and short, you would know the target is even further so perhaps try 2600 and adjust each time until you find the correct range.
The range scale is 100's of yards so in theory no problem up to 3200 after that sheer good judgement!
