Fairly simple to setup for, just takes a friend to fly drone for you.

Come into the TA, chose any field other than A1 (field guns turned off there)

Jump into a manned gun, get your friend to up a plane.

When he's in sight hit control Tab (enable friendly lock) then hit Tab. This should put a green highlight box around his icon, and give you a green X in front of his plane. Thats the Lead Computing Gunsight.

Get the target to start making passes, each one a bit more offset to the side.
You should pick it up pretty quickly.
If you can't find a friend, give me a shout, I'll play drone for you.

yes sir you most certainly can, its the fastest way to learn lead shooting in them in my opinion.

Of course some depends on the pilot you choose to fly target.
He can make it easy or hard depending on his approach.

what would be the max effective range for manned  gun at say a vbase to take down a bomber?
Title: Re: Man gun
Post by: Ghosth on December 04, 2009, 07:07:45 AM
37mm hit will severely damage or kill most bombers out to 3k.
The trick is trying to hit them out that far. I'd say most hits fall in the 1.5 or closer range.
Beyond that judging lead and elevation are in the realm of pure luck or genius class.

so what would you classify killing 3 bombers at 7.7 and 8.5 alt aboce the fiield? That would have to be super genius I think.

Remember, icon distance is in yards, altitude is in feet.

Divide that 7.7 or 8k up  by 3.

So out there, yes, lucky most likely, good shot in the manned gun, very likely.
Perfect eyesight, perfect hand eye coordination, and years to practice make it very possible.

icon in yards   alt in feet
7.7k      x3        23,100  if seen from ground
7700 alt is only 2566 yards  though

icon in yards   alt in feet
3k        x3        9000 feet

37mm Antiaircraft Gun Facts

Firing Table Muzzle Velocity: 2,500 feet/second

Breech: Automatic

Maximum Rate of Fire: 120 rounds/minute

Elevation Limits: -5º to 90º (M3A1 mount manually operated)

                               0º to 85º (M3 mount, M3A1 under director control)

Recoil Type: Hydro-spring

Fire Control Director: M5 (M3A1 mount only)

Maximum Effective Slant Range: 1,500 yards

Maximum Horizontal Range: 3,500 yards

Maximum Vertical Range: 3,500 yards

Maximum Effective Fire Control Altitude: 7,500 feet 2.5k in the game

 

Actual muzzle velocity was dependent on ammunition used and environmental conditions.  Range was limited by tracer burnout, at which point the projectile was destroyed.


ok I know where did I get it from......http://antiaircraft.org/37mm.htm
