So your saying that they could not accurately change their aim point while holding down the trigger?
While I have not tested looking for this effect I suspect that if you are fully zoomed in, and shooting while holding down the trigger you probably can not "accurately" change the aim point either.
But the point is you don't need to be super accurate when attempting a HO shot vs another plane.
You just need to put that bullet stream out there where the other guy will run into it.
Sorry if I'm bugging you, but to me it seems that you are looking for some very large scale effect where none exists. The difference in dispersion cones proves that it is modeled correctly.
Yet you continue to twist the twist the discussion into pretzels trying to prove that it is not.
Either way I have no desire to continue this discussion in any form.
I have tried to the best of my ability to show you that it is modeled yet you refuse to accept it.
Ultimately at some point you have to decide that it is the way it is, and won't be changed and accept it and continue to fly and enjoy AH, or pack up your toys and give up the battle.
While I am a HTC Fanboi (Sorry but its in my job description as an AH Trainer) I have no desire to beat a dead horse endlessly, nor indeed any desire to insult, denigrate, or put you down in any way. I have tried to be open minded, fair and helpful, but I see no point in continuing this.
