OK, took about a week vacation from AH, and my gunnery skill dropped to the point of irrelevancy. I can't get it back up to par, any tips besides shooting the offline drones?
-
.target always helps me at least a bit, gets me to remember where my lead lands.
-
Go to DA lake. Fast action, lots of targets.
-
Its just a guess but try this: make a concerted effort to shoot all over, around, and under your target. The brains will more quickly "dial in" that way.
-
Practice.
ack-ack
-
shooting at more targets has always helped me.
-
close your eyes and say 'boom'!
no seriously, visualize the shot in your mind before you take it, start thinking one step ahead, be like... ok I'm gonna reverse and hes going to pull up here, and i'm gonna take the shot, don't react, you'll react to late.

Drink alcohol or maybe some medication that has. Warning regarding heavy machinery. Then accuracy won't really matter and the level of happyness increased.

DO you have kids? If so randomly smack them as they walk by. No it won't help your gunnery, but it'll keep the kids in line. :bolt:

I'm 16, so no, I don't have any kids (that I know of).
And guncrasher, are you just trying to get rid of one more person who knows which way is up (saw a newb roll over, lawndart, and then exclaim 'I hit the sky' upon reupping :rofl :rofl :rofl. He was dead serious too :confused:)?

TA.
Turn on the LCS and chase somebody around. That'll give you an idea of where to shoot. Actually hitting anything is up to you.

Methinks someone has been listening to "Night Moves" by Bob Seger. :noid

Nemisis TA, lead computing gunsight on for half an hour (control tab to enable, point gunsight at target, hit tab again to lock)
While there work on ACM while your at it.
If you ask nicely you might even get someone to up a hvy bomber to let you shoot at.
If you do concentrate on setting up for high/low 3-9 line passes.

haha knuckle children :rofl :rofl

Look for that big giant dar bar, up your favorite :airplane: climb climb climb, get nice and lined on on the six, then :O the 91st, then go down in flames :t

If taking a week off made your gunning sub par and irrelevant. Maybe it was already sub par and irrelevant to begin with.
"You need to man up and become a better pilot."
I think this is what you tell other people in the forums Nemisis..

It's more like ... "look at me !!! look at me !!! look at me !!! look at me !!! look at me !!!"

My gunnery wan't what you would call 'great', but I could still hit a non manuvering target at D1000 without TOO much trouble. But now I'm strugeling to hit targets doing token efforts to evade a D600 (couldn't hit Brentlo's K4 with my 190 at D600. And he was mostly trying to extend)

The reason why you weren't a good shot to begin with is your taking shots at 1,000 yards away. You're wasting about 90% of your ammunition in those kind of shots with very little likelihood of scoring a kill or significant damage. If you did do any damage or got lucky enough for a kill is because you more likely then not, scored a Golden BB hit.
The only way you're going to improve is to practice. I know you like to have your hand held and provided with some "trick" you can use that will instantly make you a better shot but it's not going to happen. You're going to have to work at it to become better.

I'm asking to see if there is anything such as the LCS (never knew it existed untill now). Some good at least came out of this thread.
And Ack-Ack, I feel your going to start tearing into me, so please either be nice, or leave.

HiTech was right, you are a sniveling brat.

I just make it a point to fire at point blank range :)
-
Yep, I suggest taking your plane up lots at furball lake in the Duelling Arena.
That's how I get the most practice in my ride in the shortest time prior to a scenario.
-
It also greatly depends on what you are flying. I've found the tempest and typhoon to be fairly easy to land hits with. It also really depends on flying style, and how you personally set up your shots, in terms of deflection. So i would recommend trying several planes and see which ones yield better results for you.
<waits patiently for the inevetible flaming> ;)
-
Ackacks right on the money. If your wasting your time shooting out past 800 you never will improve.
The key is to learn ACM to learn how to get in close, saddle up. Once he's tried everything in his box to throw you and your still there eventually your going to have a 2-300 yard shot where one good burst will rip him to shreds.
Shooting beyond 400 your just wasting ammo. The exception is to pop a short burst of mg's to try to freak him out
enough to make him turn.
Get in close, then when you think its time to shoot, get in closer.

No Ack-Ack, I'm saying stop taking shots at me for trying to improve my shooting in time for the scenario. If there's any thing that will let me hit something at D300 with consistency in time for the scenario, I'm gonna use it.
Mk-84, I've been flying the Ki-84, the 109F4/G2 (FSO, and I like the F4), and the 190 when I can't stand the Ki-84's views anymore.
I agree with semp. Its now a joke, and I've learned all the little tricks there are (go to DA lake, and use the LCS).

Nobody was taking a shot at you, you're just too immature to take advice without getting your panties all bunched up in a wad. You are the classic definition of a Squeaker.
