I fire 2 guns at a time just to save ammo, this way i can avarage 9-14 kills on a good run. But I totally agree on the pws in 262s they seem way more frequent and way more prevelant. And always from a bombers guns, even when the angle is rediculous
9-14 kills is a dream for me, I got 14 kills after 4 rearms one time...then to be cherrypicked by some bish dweeb in a spit16...

The shot I really have trouble on is when a con turns and you have a full body shot on him (you can see the top of the wings, like a "top" view of an aircraft) from 400 out and I "spray" about 50 rounds and they ALL miss him, and I only normally spray when I'm testing things like that. I literally start when my gun's ammo will fall in front of his plane, and end where they would hit his tail, with no results.

Might be a lag issue but usually depending on your aoa you should need to lead more than 1 1/2 plane lengths

It's not lag...I just can't hit anything with the taters...I need to get within 200 feet from the plane, and that's how I lose many 262s, for instance, I was riding on 3 kills and I snuck up on a set of 88s NOE headed to a CV, and I got within 200 and opened fire on the left drone, when I saw about 10 taters hit I jerked to the left as hard as I could, but I somehow died, maybe the taters had not exploded the plane? It all happened so fast, I saw an explosion of sorts, and 1 second after that I was in the tower.

All twin engined fighters seem to have an issue with pilot wounds being frequent.
