Title: Ever wonder where
Post by: wpeters on February 03, 2014, 03:47:53 PM

you should be putting your site to make that deflection shot. Here is a cool little tool that you can download that will do that for you. It will show you were you need to hold to get that hard shot. Really awesome tool. :salute            http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Knowledge_Base&file=print&kid=296&page=1

Interesting.   It might need to be tweaked for Aces High.  I always found my gunnery was significantly better in IL2 than Aces High, which I chalked up to a more difficult gunnery model with the latter.

Thanks but know thanks.  My deflection shooting is getting pretty good just through experience.  I'd rather learn the art of it and practice it until it's instinct than have a gimmick to do it for me.

Another way would be to go offline and use the "aimbot" to see how much lead is required against the drones.

You can already open a program like that in the offline mode.  If I recall it's in the arena settings area, but I don't have aces high on this computer (my comp is in shop), so I don't have a direct pathway to what your asking for.

But this is already in aces high, just a different appearance to it, it's a check-box feature in the arena settings, under one of the tabs. Makes it so when you target a plane (in offline mode only), via the tab key, it shows where to lead for your primary and secondary guns based on the distance you are from the target.

Hope that helps

I have used the aimbot and also think I've developed a feel for where rounds go most of the time.  I think this is a tool that can help those who want to run through different scenarios to get an idea where to place the gunsight based on target aspect, angle off, etc without going through offline drone shooting.  I agree its not a replacement for actual experience but rather another tool to add to the tool kit.

This explains a great many things.   :noid
