Don't forget the ones who hold the trigger down hoping for a lucky hit (or out of frustration) after their tail is shot off.

In my experience, that guys are crappy pilots/shooters anyway.

I can't remember having seen any of the better sticks doing the Spraying Spiral of Death...

I thought my shooting sucked, but I'm average:D

I'm averaging 8-9% for the past 6 tours or so...

Funny thing is, I think I'm too free with the ammo. I spray away, I take bad shots, I lead targets under my nose, etc etc....

Oh well, I always thought 10% was the "good accuracy" mark, never realized 6% was!

well im superb,i got a 15.56.And i do for about 80% of the time fly american fighers and use .50cals.

I'm confused in the game my percentages appear to be different than on the scores page.

I think that's much up to personal intepretation where the "good accuracy" mark really is...
Those labels are just my own view on that matter, and of course I made sure that I am placed in the top categroy myself

yup, 50 cals are great for hit%, i think that's what hikes mine up so high

I just took a look at and it they do match. Ingame .score shows 7.562 %, score page 7.56%.

my bad I'm an idiot, I looked at the score page and it says my attack hit% is 27%+- then I looked in game it says .27+- I simply forgot to move the decimal point over.

I have flown mostly attack this tour

I would wager the vast majority of high % fly K4's squeezing off the individual tater at 200...aside from that, I'm with MWL:aok

Losing 40lbs on a 10,000lb machine won't help you. If that were the case, Fw190 pilots would fire off 400 of their 20mm rounds, saving FAR more than the cowling MG weight would save them, and still allowing them enough ammo for many kills.

If that were the case, spit pilots would ONLY fly at 25% fuel, get 1 kill, and RTB for more fuel.

At a certain point, saving weight is useless.

Firing off the lesser guns to save weight is beyond useless, especially in the heavier planes.

Mines usually better when I fly the 109 actually, I kept it around 25% for most of an AvA tour once.

Pee planes I keep in the mid teens.

Firmly in the average sector.............. my gunnery has always sucked in this game
