Title: Convergence and aim point in 1.04 survey
Post by: SKurj on November 01, 2000, 08:00:00 AM
Heyas

In an effort to improving my poor gunnery skills, I would like to attempt to find out what convergence settings and/or gunsight tweaks are being used in the MA.
Please if you don't mind.. list your convergence settings for the following:

109 20mm
109 20mm gondolas
109 30mm
109 MG's
190 20mm
190 30mm

C-hog lazers
(do your settings differ for any other Hispano equipped AC?)

Spit 303
NIK2
La5
JUG

Do you tweak the gunsight in any aircraft?(ie  raise/lower it) If so, which A/C? Why?

Ok I know its a long list, so if you could just fill in those you feel work for you it would be appreciated.  I will post the results at such a time as I think I have a good sample of the MA (or at least the experten +)

The only plane I fly of the above is the Jug, and in that I use 300m, simply because this is the range I normally start firing, and it allows me to keep hitting down to point blank range, as long as I stay in the same turn plane as the bandit.

 Jug and all other aircraft I've set convergance to 350.  No spread, no staggering of ranges.  Maximum hitting at the range I find that I fire at  the most.

 the convergence I use on the P51,P47 is about 450. with the F4's I use 350. La5 I use about 300. 190's and 109's I use 350 sometimes I even go 400. spits and others i don't have really much time in.

325 for all fighters. Max for all ground attack planes.

300 for all LW guns...don't fly anything else so can't comment otherwise.

I do a lot of ground attack in a/c so I set it to 650.  I have most other aircraft between 500 and 650 - I'm just so used to it now do I dare not move it closer!!!  I maybe tempted to go 300 with pure air to air fighters.

The only plane i have played with the conv settings is the P51 (my mainstay).
I stagger my conv setting for 6*50cal @

inside guns  @ 360
mid guns     @ 390
outside guns @ 420

They are staggered cause most of my kills are hi-closure BnZ style kills
