109 K4
« on: January 23, 2012, 09:40:54 PM »
Does anybody have some good film and tricks detailing the way to set up a shot with the K4? I'm honestly baffled by the ballistics of the gun. Any film and random tips would be helpful.

Also, I remember a while back seeing a thread by grizz detailing every aspect of lining up the shot with taters and whatnot. If I can get the link to that thread, that would be perfect.  Search isn't working for me for some reason.  :bhead

The thing that has helped me the most, is I only fire the tater gun by itself.  Never with the MGs...  Do that for awhile and you will get a better feel for the trajectory when you can easily see the tracer of just the 30mm.  The tater has also helped me to remember the absolute importance of unloading the wings before pulling the trigger.

FLy the k4 for awhile and you will get the hang of it, but for me, it has helped me by forcing me to manuever for the shot that I want rather then pulling the trigger and hoping for a lucky impact.

Don't mistake me, I'm not one of the k4 savants of AH...  Just a guy who has been flying it off and on for a few months.

Set the 30mm convergence to 200 and only shoot when the enemy is within 400 of you. The tater is so slow and drops off so fast that you will never hit anything past 600 unless you're very lucky.

Try .target (range) in the arenas and shoot the 30mm at 200 and then 600 and you'll see the huge difference.

Question for you...  How do you like to set the trim in the k4?  Do you set it at a particular speed before entering a fight?  Combat Trim?  Or are you working the trim a lot while fighting?

I only trim when I'm at high speed go get out of compressed dive. Other then that I let the auto trim do whatever it does...

I must admit that I am a bit surprised.  As much flap work that the 109 needs, I would think you would want to shut combat trim off...  You can't argue with results though.

I don't use trim. I just center the tabs and give it control input to center it.
Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!
