P39s gunsight issue

[Octavius]

The sight and bullet convergence do not match.  The bullets seem to land above the reticle regardless of convergence.  I tried default converge (250) and other convergences (400, 600, etc) in conjunction with the .target 250, 400, 600 command, bullets were landing above gunsight.

Maybe I needed to test it longer but those 50 cals were shredders against the off-line drones.

Noticed the main gun problem, couldn't hit a thing, well, except ground targets.

Yeah.. I have a small dot drawn on my screen with dry erase marker that I use for osties, etc. The p39Q gunsight dot is about 2mm below MY dot, but the guns shoot at MY dot..

39D gunsight is fine..

Yup.

Easyscor,

I think the pilots of the real plane ran into the same problem with the 37mm.

[Xasthur]

The 37mm doesn't seem to pack much punch offline either

[Krusty]

Both versions of the P-39 (I thought the later was MUCH better???) seem to land countless hits on planes with very few "killworthy" hits.

I unloaded a dozen into the b-24 drone, and only popped a gear, a flap, and a gas leak. Land it by the pilot and you can get a kill, but I landed at least 2-3 on the P-51 drone with no noticable effect before the 4th popped the wing off.


Note the p51 example might have caused a pilot wound, I couldn't tell, but it sure didn't damage much else!

[moot]

Drones don't mean anything I think. Every 37 hit I've got was a kill online.

wow that is ghetto dude 
but very useful

I just ran a test on this offline using the .target command.  The bullet stream and gunsight of the P39D match convergence pretty well.  I have the MGs set for 300 and the cannon for 350 and the target out at 350.  All bullets land on the target right about where you would expect (very near the dot in the sight.  However, for the P39Q they end up high.  If I am aiming dead center on the target, the bullets land at the first ring around the center or a little higher (between the middle and second out ring) for both the MGs and the 37mm.  They land in close shot groups like you expect, but high.  On practice straffing runs this is especially obvious and requires extra nose low to compensate.  Firing at the flying drones requires compensation as well and makes high deflection shots very difficult.

Here is a gunsight fixed to work with the P-39Q.



To use it, just save this bmp file in your "C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\sights" folder and then go into your options for gunsights and select "p39_brooke.bmp" (or whatever you choose to name it) as the gunsight for the P-39Q.

I tested it at convergence settings of 400 and 200 yards (using .target).

Once HTC fixes the P-39Q's gunsight, you'll want to move back to the default again, of course.

The P-39D doesn't have the problem, so you shouldn't use this gunsight for the P-39D, only for the P-39Q.
