Finally figured out what changed with gunning in bombers
« on: July 26, 2025, 11:08:37 PM »
Its the convergence. Few years back gunning in bombers was like shooting lazer beams. Something changed and I brought it up. Never really tried to figure it out until tonight. The convergence is shorter. I used to be able to accurately pop planes 1k out. Now im lucky to hit within 600. No complaints just stating observation.  :salute

Nothing has changed with bomber guns convergence. Has been at D500 like forever. See this post in Help & Training forum from 2007

A picture is worth a thousand words.

And it's still at D500 ever since.

A constructive post from me, who woulda thought?   :rofl
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

No, I think your out of practice. hen I was in on you last night, I got closer than norm when fighting you. Your SA was horrible compared to how you use to fly, and by getting that much closer I took you down before you could get a bead on me.

I think if you play a bit more you'll find that the guns are the same and you'll be knocking everyone out of the sky again with ease.
