I absolutely love the G14 because of the option to toss that crappy MK 108 out and put in the super lovely MG 151/20! I really should fly it more than I do.
Why is that? I hear a few people say they do it because they want to see where their rounds are going, but that's with tracers on and I fly with tracers off. Does it really matter if I shoot with 13mms? Is there some hidden secret that the 13mms somehow affect the 30mms aim?
I think you're talking about when you pass under me from my left to right. What I did was pull up, dropped some flaps, chopped throttle to almost 0, and stood on my right rudder. The 109s are very good at just pulling right around this way, but it bleeds lots of E.
I hear lead is the biggest problem in the K4 all the time. In the film I am actually leading the plane more than I would normally be if I was in any other plane. The first shot for example he is inside 200 yards away from me. I pull enough lead that he disappears under my nose and my 13mm's hit around his canopy and left wing. Where did my 30mm's go? Even with 350 convergence did they just drop straight off under him? Did they just never reach the target? How much more lead am I suppose to pull on this cannon?
Latrobe,
I am no expert at all with the 108 and still learning the plane.
Maybe you find this helpful.

Regarding the quotes:
I can't hit anything with 13mm and 30 mm fired simultaneously. With or without tracers. I get confused and usually the 13 mm hit, the 30 does not.
Unloading your plane is also an issue. Only fire at LOW g or the bullet drop gets insane. For me thats the hardest part. Any g implied while firing makes any hit a lucky one.
In the posts by morf and bustr you also find the answers to the dispersion. I tried any available conversion and I am back at 250 now and I will stick with it although I do like to try out bustr's challenge....
If I fire a tater I have my opponent within 200 and still miss a lot
What also helped me was turn off tracers, go to TA or offline, turn on LCG and fire at any angle you can get. Film the sorties and look them back in very slow motion.
The film viewer shows the range where you prefer to find a shot and it helps to put the plane to structural markings instead of only aiming with your gunsight.
If you need a target drone in TA, let me know.
