Can't Hit a Barn

[Vudu15]

Sir it might also be the airplane your driving not all aircraft "point" the same, and some will seem to react better to your style of play and handle on the controls you might try a different aircraft and see if that helps as well.

IMO I hate the P51D as it never does handle right to me as a gun platform, flying it is great but when shooting at things with it.....its just awful. I'd fly anything else before a D pony if I had the chance.

And I feel the exact opposite way, far easier for me to with than most things. I think I make more difficult shots with the P-51D than anything else. Whereas I feel Corsairs and Jugs are wonderful planes planes with the same 50s, but a more twitchy. I wonder what makes the difference? Joystick, stick settings?

Possibly what you get used to from the start?  I've flown hogs and jugs from the beginning of my time here, and I hit as good as I hit with both.  I get in a 51, and I have trouble hitting.  I am guessing there's a difference between the pony and the other two in the distance between LOS and the gun mounts, or something.

I found players with a hard time hitting things often find this is the case. (to much nose bounce)

Scaling your stick can help eliminate nose bounce.

One way I found helpful in the offline arena is using the target and full zoom.  Use the .target XXX command to call up a target on the NE runway.  Use  like 600 yards to start or at you can try at convergence.  Follow the target while using full zoom.  Try to hold the sight dead on center.  It want be easy.  If you are bouncing, use the scale to soften the movement.  The zoom's only function in this is it kind of amplifies the problem so you can see the bounce allowing you to fine tune the scaling.

good idea dude

im gonna do this...I have massive nose bounce.....I do have the stick scaled but obviously it is wrong.

Im kinda moving in the other direction. Im setting default view as close to the panel as practical and just not using zoom. I found the excessive use of zoom to actually make me worse. Course I stake no claim this is good advice cause my aim blows. I just found to much zoom to bounce the sights to much.

Theres way to many stick stirrers in the game. I'd rather fly the plane in historical correct ways and get shot down then jerk my stick like a jackoff trying to survive that way. Unfortunately its a viable tactic in a computer game where'as it wouldnt be in real life.
