190 convergence
« on: July 10, 2026, 08:31:46 PM »
What do you guys set your 20mm cannons to?  I can't hit a damn thing with them set to 300.  Planes at point blank range seem to fly right through my rounds, or I am missing that badly.

Due to the speed the Dora flys, 325-350 yards to get them to loft up a bit.

In the A8 I set all guns to 600
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

I use the .target command and make sure the MG151-20 hit the same height in target as the MK108s.

You can watch your films and see how your aim is. Kinda questionable between 2 front end internet timing.

All guns on all my 190s are at 400. At 375 or 425 I get a Iil shotgun spread.
Nose guns carry the load of long shots.
I’ve mad hits 800 out, too weak at that distance, but probably nose guns doing that.

Once I’m out of 20s I consider myself out of ammo.

A8 is a beast of guns with a wall of lead. Not as much as fast or agile as A5 or D9. Yin Yang, beast guns or better flyer. At 400 out they’re just over

I'm using the A5 and unless the target is hanging like a pinata, I get lots of hits with the bb guns and they keep on flying.  Moved convergence from 300 to 400 and so far no difference.  The tracers for the bb guns are distracting, as are their hit sprites.  Might try dumping them on climb out.

They a very predictable once you've learn to shoot with them at 400-800 range (800 only for buffs), and a buckshot of 4*20mm mfg151 and 2*13mm really make an impression on the intended target.
I never flew with external fuel tank in arenas, even after drop, you carry the mount which is heavy.

The A5 should only be flown with 2*mg151 and the 2*20mm FF, and ontop of that 2 bb guns, each type of guns have different trajectories. More agile because of less weight without the 20mm FF and its ammo.
