well i flyt the 26 so i just put the site on so it will arc and hit em then i just squeeze till there sing breaks off (usually less than 1 sec total) and if they pissed me off then i follow them down and shoot em with manual nose gun.......... i really don't see y ppl would try and use the manual one against HO attacks in AH y not just use the rudder and use the 5x .50cals mounted on the sides and in the front............
