Comes out of puffy missing half a wing: "I'm hit!"

Greenie: "Don't worry, that'll buff out."

It's the 5" guns that are the problem.

Have you ever tried them?  Let's see you stop a set of 10K Lancs inbound on your carrier before they drop.

I have, I can tell you they're some of the easiest things to use in game Lol.

I've consistantly and easily landed 10-20 kills or more in 5'' guns when bomb tards were swarming to sink it... it's really not that hard to lead and spam away with 5'' doubles...

Can you explain why in the majority of times I've watched other people gun the 5"ers they don't hit a thing and the CV goes to the bottom?  I'm always amazed at what people say on the BBS and what I see in the MA.  They never seem to have much to do with each other.  Is there some other hidden MA where all the uber people log on?

they haven't quite figured out how to lead the target...i can figure it out but getting the range is the tough part for me, especially if they over 10k.

Well usually, the uber guys are in planes kicking butt. Not sitting in a 5in gun playing swat the fly.

Get in the twin 5inch offline. Figure out what compass heading your a pointing your guns by default on the map. Lets say east.

.target 10000 90 27

Now goto full zoom and see if you can calc the elevation to drop the round into the center of the target that's about 1000ft off the water. Then try (.target 10000 90 45). 4k is pushing it for most players to lead anything. 3k is getting into effective player lead range but, in many cases the bombs have been away since 6k transitioned into 5k.

You do realize you can't just point and click right?  Or are you laboring under the misapprehension that you can put the cursor on the target and click?

If you want to get good at the 5 inch guns to shoot aircraft, you need to standardize your zoom level.

Most people are zoomed in too much or play with a different zoom setting for every target.
