Help me understand something please
« on: February 25, 2020, 06:57:25 AM »
I know you guys are insane good. I experience it every day and every night. But when it comes to my gunnery compared to the enemy its like wtf is going on???

 I understand the ballistics, the Kentucky Windage, the convergence ect..  but what I dont understand is why I can burn up all my 20mm and 30mm cannon and NOT shoot the guy down. I see my bullets hitting his plane.  But you guys will swoop in from my flank and 1 shot pilot injure me or drop in on my six and single burst kill me.  And in my honest opinion, this is why you cant keep new player for more than 1 month.
Time after time after time ill get firing solution and shoot and ill miss or you fly right through a stream of 20mm and other than impact sparks you come right around and one shot me.
Am I laggy? I know i dont suck that bad. I just dont get it and its sucking the desire right out of me. 2 to 6 hours a day of taking off climbing out, getting to battle, getting dope on you, missing or not killing you, you get around on me, 1 shot me and repeat, over and over again can be demoralizing to anybody.
This is my best most respectful ptsd plea for help.

The video I made on how to setup your joysticks explains how to stabilize your airplane to get rid of the bouncy/slop that is present until you go through the process.

Another thing that can make your shooting inaccurate is constantly changing your aircraft.

Stick setup first. Learn one airplane at a time after.

It's also really hard to shoot straight when you're fighting the stall.

Only thing i can advise you get a wingman. Learn from him.

Go to the dueling arena and duel your socks off.

Fire only 1 or 2 rounds a burst when shooting with the 30mm and dont fire those in combination with the 20mm on a K4. The balistics dont match.

And i feel your pain, we have all been there. <S>

@Challenge.   Stick setup he says LMAO! Clearly you haven't been following this guy's plight. Go ahead and ask him about his stick setup. Be the entertainment for the day!

Hey Drano.. 1.) what is taptalk ? And 2.) how about you put down your ipad like me and log in and I'll make YOU the entertainment of the day as I make you check your parachute serviceability all morning? Just like liquid Drano you will be falling from the sky in a downward spiral.

Rudder is key. My hit percentage without a rudder would maybe be 1/4th of my normal one.

but what I dont understand is why I can burn up all my 20mm and 30mm cannon and NOT shoot the guy down. I see my bullets hitting his plane.

Using a non-stick controller (or a badly setup stick) often results in a lack of quick precision required for getting a quick concentration of hits at a critical place. Several hit that are just all over the place often won't do the trick. And like atlau said, precise use of rudder is more than juts helpful for getting a high hit percentage.

For this complaint that's the answer. Obviously, no one can fix all of his problems.

I've been here a few years now and still have many moments like that.... I just own my suck and bask in more awsomesauce when it happens... in-frequent at times but it does happen from time to time

I also find the shots I make when my eyes are closed are the best ones.... but because my eyes are closed I have no idea what I did.... it's a vicious circle
