My 11 kills in the Nicky over 2 consecutive frames of this month's FSO say's otherwise.

With your avatar or personal picture, I can’t take any complaint from you about gun performance seriously.
And seriously speaking; of course I’m NOT serious in this particular circumstance.  :lol
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Would have to agree with 5O5 on this one.

I highly doubt this as I actually shot a couple planes down the other day in the N1K.

Tried looking at your net status in game and re-logging if it’s not smooth/has delays?


The Panther’s armor from AH2 to 3 sure feels like though.

They're casting their bait over there, see?

convergence set at 300.

I may not have a clue on  ballistics for the cannons. Can't hit squat....ever. Not a single ping most of the  time.  The plane goes down and not even and assist

Switch to a fifties plane and no problems

I have found cannons require more lead than mg

Even more if turning at all...

Yea, what Eagler said, Also, What i do with cannon is set conv to 400 and for trailing shots, aim a little high, like as high as the enemy aircraft's vertical stab, typically with success.
For deflection shots,,,,,they are a bit harder to judge, practice, practice, but my thoughts are that the nik's cannons are wicked effective and its not a bad turner either. a tad slow tho

They drop, a lot.  If the planes is at 400 ft altitude, then aim like 10 feet above that.

Naw n1ki's aren't needed you just a bad shot, you try to let the cannon's do the work for instead of using the Plane get in a good position. I would also bet you hold the trigger down instead of using short bursts
