BF-109K4 Convergence

[Slade]

Guys,

You long time K4 pilots I could really use your advice.  Where do you find is the best place to set your convergence?

Thanks,

Slade

If you set convergence at 300 you'll be right on the money when the range in game changes from 400 to 200 on your victims icon.

I set my 30mm to 500 Yards to give it a little more lift, as most of my kills are deflection shots..I find hitting planes from the rear 6 with a 30mm harder to hit

[Krupinski]

I like to get up close and personal, my 30mm is set at 200.

200-225 is where you want to be at if you're not comfortable with the ballistics of the 30mm round. At close ranges you'll find you'll have to aim under your target when the convergence is set at a long distance. That isn't intuitive for the novice and can just frustrate them.

I'm shooting mostly at closer ranges, but my convergence is still set at D350.

I have had mine set at 300 for a as long as I've been flying the K4.  Just this past Thursday I set it to 400 since I've lately found that I'm connecting on a few longer range deflection shots.  I haven't noticed that it's made any difference at all though.  I think 300 is probably just about right. 

[Templar]

300 is about right. Hey Maddafinga nice to see someone else fromTulsa on the board.

My convergence is set at 350yds for tatering to give it a slight loft.  Convergence will only play a role in the narrow misses/hits and a good tater will hit regardless of what it is set at.  It's something to play with but proper aiming techniques and timing will get you a lot further than dealing with the mystique of the 'perfect convergence'.

225 myself...pick where you normally will fire..with your fighting style...and set it to that.  I set myself up for a lot snapshots in close...therefore I set it at 225.  The 50 cal planes I fly, I set at 375 or so...I shoot farther out...not nearly as many up close and personal snapshots.

Once you figure out the timing of it all...and the drop of the shell...you can adjust for other distances based on where you have your convergence at....just takes some practice.

As short as possible.

I prefer compensating for distance/drop the old fashioned way.

You wear a truss?
