As I mentioned elsewhere, great flick! Laughed the back of my front off.

I'm putting "Fancy flying means nothin' if you can't hit!" on my tombstone.

My best shots are usually as much a surprise for me as it was my target..

Usually accomplished by leading the shot way more than I thought I would have to..

 Basically shots are triangulated. If it was easy the game would be no challenge, boring.

Does the wind have an effect on the bullets? Above 16k of course.

Rear guns firing backwards can land bullets further than a plane following.

AHHH but if this was real life, (just watched a documentary) rounds fired from an object/gun moving away the opposite direction than fired are slower. Tail rounds would be slower than front guns. Depending on how fast the plane is moving.

True, but if you are closing on the bomber's 6, your speed and distance traveled adds to the bombers bullets.

Yep, kinda, thats physics. It would be as if both were stationary. Exaggerated in an HO. You’re adding 600+ mph to the impact. The way my math works, which is questionable.
