Aiming the 37mm M4 Cannon

[darkzking]

Does anyone know any websites or tips for aiming the 37mm M4 cannon? Many times in dogfights with my p39 does it come down too if i could've hit that guy i would've won and now i have grown frustrated to the extreme with my lack of aim. Lead computing gunsight does not work i've tried i've aimed at the crosshairs always misses

Timing is everything in those crossing snapshots. you most likely will only have the chance to fire one tater on target in a crossing snapshot..

Dead 6 shots are extremely hard to hit without precise aim. With a target that is evading in a dead 6 shot it's very unlikely you will hit unless you are very accustomed to large calibre slow RoF gunnery. Get your convergence exactly where you want it and then test the ballistics so you can get a feel for the pre-convergence rise and the post convergence drop.

However, sometimes it just works, even at 700 yards

I have a long duelling session with Gizzuhu in P39s on film if you want me to post it and he has no objections.

Glzz is my squaddie and we share all our fights together so he won't care plus he is banned from the forums for a month

Just under an hour of fun practice training in the 39. Gizz is a good stick with a good attitude. If you can send this film on to him somehow he was interested to see it but I never got round to sending it over Christmas and forgot.
