Historicity and Efficacy of P-51D With Four Guns

[Vraciu]

That's convenient, gunnery is also a thing I need to work on. We'll hit the TA and take turns being the target drone.

Beers are on me.

Learn to set your converg to 350 or less, I use 325 in 99% of the planes, the only real exception is the 109K.
Get well under 400, take a shot and learn to conserve ammo, if you spray 'n pray - you generally won't hit anything but your ammo counter.

80% of my shots are under 200, 20% were at 400, sometimes just tapping someone at 400 will get them to turn, closing the gap for an easy wing shot.

I have better success withmtighter conv but darned if I can figure out how to hit any conv setting other than 300.  And even then I can't kill squat.   Drives me nuts.

Can't figure out how to turn on the lead computing gunsight option offline to see lead angles...

Look at flight mode flags in arena settings/environment.

[BnZs]

You have to enable the lead computing sight in arena settings, it is also enabled in the TA

here's a problem, most people tend to screw around with the Conv, and thats what screws their aim up. Put everything at 325 or 300 or whatever the hell you want, and leave it there. Find a gunsight that works for you (I use the German Revi on every aircraft). Learn to spot your shots.
If any of my old films could actually be viewed I'd send you some, apparently year old films don't work anymore sorry.

If I can shoot down 9 planes in a Hurricane I in an FSO event, you can do the same with any aircraft, you just have to keep your converg and don't sway to far away from your choices. (I mean if you are going to fly a P51D, stick with planes with the 6x 50s configuration).
Reason is the balistics are far different in other aircraft, going to a typhoon with 4x bazookas isn't going to help your aim in a 51. Learn how much damage you can do on snapshots, how much you need to fire before it sets a plane on fire or major chunks comes off.

I always preach, I stick to two aircraft per tour, for example my best tour was flying a P-38J and a C.205. Next tour would be a Ki-84 and a Brewster. The reason I stuck with two like this, was so I wouldn't be bored, yet I had enough flight hours in both aircraft that my aim wouldn't be to shotty.

It takes time to be able to pick a wing and saw it off, eventually you get to that level when you home in your gunnery, I can say it won't happen over night.

Less guns only worth it if you would like to turn.
Ponies usually dont want to turn, not even with 190s.

Hell I love turning with 109s and 190s, it works out fairly well for the most part and it really worked out in the DGS II Scenario awhile back!

Amount of ammo is a issue

Been flying the Typhoon for a year and then took up the Yak9T with less ammo

Hack is now landing 5 kills in Yak9T

Less ammo means you take a shot when you should

Yak9T puts the Narzzies to bed and rightly so

[MrRiplEy[H]]

I always set the convergence to 400 because I found it was the best compromise between optimal range and bullet drop. If you set your convergence low it also affects the arch of the bullets meaning with low convergence you have to pull more lead in a lead shot.

5?

All joking aside, that's an amazing run sirah!

uhh it wasnt fair... not again, please.

[zack1234]

Yes

My deepest apologies

Its an outrage

[LCADolby]

Sit your 50cals at 350 yards. The added loft really help when you are BnZing at 300+mph.
