Bomber convergence adjustment
« on: August 02, 2011, 10:27:54 PM »
I wish I could map an analog input to my gun convergence on bombers.  That way we could adjust their convergence while firing.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Are you talking about the point where the bullet streams from the different aircraft in your formation cross or about the guns on the bomber you are in?  Currently the guns on the same bomber do not converge at all, but rather fire parallel to each other.

+1 for this.  No fighter waits till they get within 550 meters before attacking a bomber flight.  But the convergence should be able to be adjusted on the fly (like with the plus and minus keys or something similar) or else you'd just end up facing the same problem over again.

A death star-esque stable guns platform of five or more guns  (multiplied by three aircraft total) firing while in level flight and not having to perform evasive maneuvers is not easy mode enough that we now must concede to change the sighting-in of the weapons while in flight?

What if you drop your wrench, or better yet, what if your hand sticks to the freezing cold metal whilst making these normally, ground crew adjustable changes at ~300 mph?

I'd be all for that provided that you can't control more than 1 gun at a time.

If you want more than 1 gun manned, get more than 1 gunner (if it ever gets 'coaded').

-1.   If you want to have set bases that bombers can take off from, behind the front line with bombers disabled everywhere else then OK. But untill then I want a reasonable chance of intercept before you get Ordnance out.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
