Convergence

[1pLUs44]

Not in AHII. They should be set to same convergence.  I set mine at 350 in the 51D and it works well.     

Well, if RogentX does the same, then I gotta go to 350 converge in my 51

What does rogent have to do w/ my convergence?

[TonyJoey]

I set all 8 .50's to 500. works fine for me. As soon as range goes from 600-400 I open up on em.

2 best 51 pilots in the game IMO.

I quite commonly hit pilots in the head at 600-700 yards. Best shot so far that I recorded was 786 yards. There is one Jug pilot I have seen that can get head shots at 1500. My convergence is set at 425. I do more BNZ then Steve I think. Steve is more 'in the mix' and I tend to cover my squads bombers and enjoy that. Diving into a swarm of red usually ends with me limping home with parts missing and my squads bombers in tatters.

infowars, I suggest you check out this page which has diagrams of different convergence schemes.  Convergence preferences are somewhat personal as far as ranges.  Pick what sounds like good advise and see if it works for you.  If not, adjust it to the shooting situations you find yourself in the most.

I don't exactly know how the distance system works, but here's the way I see it.  If you are closing on a target... which is usually the case, an average pilot would start shooting AFTER they see their magic number.  Let's say the magic number is 400 out... most would shoot after they close within 400, not just before it hits 400, because the marker still says 600.  So basically when your bullets hit, the target isn't 400 out, the target is actually closer than 400 if you are closing.  This is why I set mine for around 300 on each plane, both MGs and cannons.

For myself, he Yak-9T is the best "gunnery training" platform there is. Go from 32 lethal rounds to 240+. Learn to shoot in that, up a plane with more ammo, and watch out.

i use 300yd for everything when I intend to find enemy aircraft.

that makes 600+yd "long shot" and anything at 400-200 right in the wheelhouse.



oh but when I harvest pork with 190a8, I do 500yd, same with 110g2.

I think just after you cross the 500 yard distance the icon reads 400. I start firing when I see it read 400 but with my reflexes its probably between 400 and 450 so I use 425. I still shoot cons at 100 and less and they just explode right off.

Everything at 250 here, kills baddies dead.

In the Pony and Hellcat, I stagger mine. Inner Guns 425, Middle is 400, and outher is 375. Works pretty good for me.

[Xargos]

Type in .target 400 into your text buffer then look north, this will give you an idea on where your bullets are going.  You can adjust the 400 to any distance.  Type .target 0 to get rid of it.
