In my way of flying I will kill more with a snapshot than by long, sustained bursts of fire. I therefore prefer all guns converging at one point. That point may be different from plane-to-plane, but I want all guns on one point.

I set mine to 1500. That way I can shoot down anything inbetween!

I set the convergence to 525yds. I like the slightly "curved in" effect of that range. The guns seem to be more on target at short "and" long range. If I can remove a rudder or elevator from the opposing plane at long range, that's a start to making him into a lawn dart.

If you only want to get hits follow the above advice. If you want to get the 50's to where they are effective in AH, set convergence to 50 yards.

250-275-300

Don't fire until you are at 300.

I figure convergence is all about what it is you want to do. My best ever Pony flight as a buff hunter, I had my convergence staggered between 650 and 400, killed 2 GUNNED B17's and a B26 all within a few minutes and took nary a ping from any of them. Same night I furballed with the same convergence and I swear to cod I couldn't hit the broad side of the ocean at 10ft.

Used to use staggered convergences also but found that I was getting LOTS of assists. When I moved all my convergences to 300, I found that I was able to critically injure the planes more often with a quick shot.

Now when I get a tracking shot, WHOA NELLIE.

Forget about staggered convergence...go with a set convergence somewhere in the range of 300-350.
