That is all. :joystick:

My 11 kills in the Nicky over 2 consecutive frames of this month's FSO say's otherwise.

N1K probably has the best gun package after the tempest and Chog

With your avatar or personal picture, I can’t take any complaint from you about gun performance seriously.
And seriously speaking; of course I’m NOT serious in this particular circumstance.  :lol

Would have to agree with 5O5 on this one.
What is your convergence set to nopoop?

May I suggest a laxative?

I highly doubt this as I actually shot a couple planes down the other day in the N1K.

Tried looking at your net status in game and re-logging if it’s not smooth/has delays?


The Panther’s armor from AH2 to 3 sure feels like though.

convergence set at 300.

I may not have a clue on  ballistics for the cannons. Can't hit squat....ever. Not a single ping most of the  time.  The plane goes down and not even and assist

Switch to a fifties plane and no problems

I have found cannons require more lead than mg

Even more if turning at all...

Yea, what Eagler said, Also, What i do with cannon is set conv to 400 and for trailing shots, aim a little high, like as high as the enemy aircraft's vertical stab, typically with success.
For deflection shots,,,,,they are a bit harder to judge, practice, practice, but my thoughts are that the nik's cannons are wicked effective and its not a bad turner either. a tad slow tho

They drop, a lot.  If the planes is at 400 ft altitude, then aim like 10 feet above that.

Naw n1ki's aren't needed you just a bad shot, you try to let the cannon's do the work for instead of using the Plane get in a good position. I would also bet you hold the trigger down instead of using short bursts

Good points. My gunnery sucks AND I hold the trigger down....
