My stile is waiting till I get real close, usally d200 and under, then I let them have it. I tend to fly the K4 so my tactics and shooting are somewhat different.
On the odd occasion, I tend to shoot the tater from around 400-800d, flying straight and level or in a 45 degreee climb behind a con etc.

Aiming for front parts of AC.

My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

Yup, often when I pull for a shot, it's in black out. The second pic I posted was in black out. I remember because I had a ride along


The funny thing is I do the same, I think 80% of my shots happen during pulling heavy G to lead. I usually partially or fully black out for a second and then wake up w/ a kill. Even if the guy I'm engaging see me diving on him and he pull as much G as he could to break, however the angle that I usually approach allow me to follow him w/ the break and fire for .5 to 1 sec before pulling off.

Steve, what's your averge rounds per kill w/ the 50 cals? The way I approach my target only give me .5-1 sec of firing time before I gotta pull off to avoid the collision. Which is why I prefer the D-9 over the P-51. 90% of my sorties I hit my 10 kills part by the time I hit 200 cannon rounds remaining on the D-9. Average about every 100 rounds = 3 kills and 1-3 assists.

I can't do it w/ any planes that have 50 cals, or Hispanos. I tried earlier today flying a tempest, I do the exact thing I do w/ the D-9 but my shots are off. I'm guessing I'm used to the MG151? (cannon for the LW birds). I'd get on the enemy's high 6 about 600 yards out, approach to 300 and fire til i get to 100 and pull off. Which bring me to another point, of why I've been flying the LW over any other country fighter. I've got the aiming and projectile rate of the LWs gun and I don't want to mess it up w/ different gun.

Wherever I can hit the guy, because my aim sucks.

That's why his aim sucks, he is probably using it for his gunsight as well.
Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.

Ah yes, that's a great avatar.  I think Trieze had it first, then we traded, and then spikes picked it up and I continued with the 38 theme.
