My two cents...
I usually use the LA-5FN for base defense, and as far as gunnery goes, I never shot untill I'm with in 200, the ballistics are not as good as US .50's or 20mm Hispanos.  And with convergance, they are cowl mounted, so it's a matter of elevation on your site for the most part.  Keep practicing and you'll be deadly.

I had the same problem the first few times I flew the La-5.  I couldn't hit squat with it.  I pulled the convergence in 35% and started to get in closer and went from "What's up with this POS" to "Wow... nice plane".
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
