I dunno, I tried the 225 - 275 convergence style and it didn't really worked for me. So I set it to 325 - 375 which is much better and is easier for me to shoot (I think it's because I always had it around 300 and got used to it)
I tried the 50% fuel and droptanks, and I liked it although I'm used to traveling long distances to get to the enemy and I sometimes run out of fuel, or get close to, when I drop the tank whenever engaged in a fight, keep looking for another one, and try to go back. But still is good =]
Trial and error is indeed the best way to learn a plane and I do believe every plane can be deadly when flown right =]

Btw, I have an off topic question here: How do cowl mounted guns shoot through propellers without hitting them? My guess is that they're synchronized with the rotation of the propellers, but not sure.

Yo vuelo cuando tengo tiempo xD casi nunca tengo una hora especifica pero lo suelo hacer como a las 5:00 pm en hora de aqui, de Venezuela o aveces hasta las 10:00 pm

You are correct.
