Would that mean the 5Mil+- nose down in response to firing the P51D guns when you test against the offline taget is not realistic? So then it isn't a factor in your aim while in MA combat ergo then was not a factor in the real WW2?

Remember when I tested all of the fighters in the game some time back with my Miltest gunsight on full zoom for dispersion patterning? Wing guns cause the nose to lower. Lavochkins raise up. Center nose mounted stay level. I beleive the 262 raises a bit due to the 4 MK108. You didn't give the range you set the target to. I'll have to duplicate it being equal to the width of the K14's reflector plate. I bet on full zoom the anglular mil math at 301 will show the K14 center to be near the manuals 32 inches above the fuslage reference line.

Looks like you use a 20Mil+- dot for your gunsight by eyeball guesstimation.

Sorry Bustr, I was in a hurry to get out and chase some ducks with the falcon...  As I walked out I thought "Oops, forgot to tell everyone I had the .target set to 300yds".

The gun sight I use is just one I picked up years ago; I don't remember from whom.  I don't pay much attention to it in actual shooting, and I have no idea what size it is.  It's just a reference point that I keep in my peripheral vision.  I've actually had times when I did game re-installs and lost it, so had no sight at all for a while.  Surprisingly that didn't see to matter when it came time to shoot.

I really don't know anything about the Mil references or about the nose up/down movement.  I know the F4U nose moves, but I just take quick little shots anyway so it doesn't seem to be something that effects me.  I have no idea about how it compares to reality.

I'm a 400 yard man in the B and D --- gives me the best dispersion ratio as close as 200 and as far as 600.
It works cuz he saws me right in half
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

325 is standard in most aircraft - frankly I don't shoot at 400 yards out, I shoot closer to 200 - and never miss.
