Oh yeah, I know what you mean I have a USN gunsight that displays like a micro machine (talkin' bout the mid to late 1980s minature toy vehicles) should be using it. :lol

That's the one...  LTARKils is wicked accurate with an osti..  I don't understand why he won't tell me his secret....

Page up + f10 for all views in an osti, aim with your tracers, and have lots and lots of practice.  Simple as that.  Some guys like to do the mouse cursor trick but I find the tracers work just fine.

The hardest part of this is learning to judge the distance of the drop of your round shooting at a guy that is 3k out...

Agreed sketch, and heres the thing.  Most people in the game eiter don't know, or don't believe that the osti is effective out to those ranges.  I have actually had guys tell me to stop shooting at planes that are 1.5 out because im wasting ammo.  This is actually a good thing though, because most guys in AC will pay you no mind if they don't have icon on YOU.  A plane that is lazily circling your field at 2k out is great practice for long range gunnery.  Also, shoot at buff formations from way out, there is a lot there to hit so people can get a feel for the range.  Another tip,  If an nme passes over you and egress straight out and up without jinking because they think you are out of range aim a good bit high on that same heading and just hold the trigger down and wait for them to fly into the stream.  It's not a high odds shot by far due to the 37mm's rate of fire, but if you don't shoot at em, your not gonna hit em.

In an Osti...
1.open up at 2.5 K with a slight compensation for drop (aim high)
2.Allow plane to meet stream of 37 mm projectiles (about 1K ish)
3.Watch wing separate from A/C (I've perfected aiming for wingroots now..forget the nose..if you hit nose, the SOB gets a few rounds into your glass gunpit as he dies)
3.Allow 1 "son of a b#$#@ " on 200 or PM.

I've learned to use the sight, and actually like it better than the F10 trick i started with.... though, that's what tought me the drop.

I've hit buffs out past 3k... and once... hit a spit at 1K with a single round fired. (he was obiting looking down at me radio'n GV's)  Been trying to duplicate that for 5 months now.
