I need to know distance of weapons. I see a enemy plane out about 5k. I know my weapon don't hit him that far and i don't have chance to get him. So can i get a hit at 1k, or 2k. I realy don' know, but maybe im wasting ammo firing at those distances.
Anyone have an idea of ranges of weapons.

If your talking MGs and Cannon, then an easy rule to rember is, in Aces High, they can be dangerous out to ~800-1000 but alot more effective if fired at less than 500, preferably under 400.
as for rockets and bombs, they're effective no matter what distance you fire em, its more a question of getting them to hit what you want.
Buff MGs and GV MGs tend to have about 30-40% extra range. Flak can hit out to 2k or so.

whats the distance in each square. This way i can plot my course a bit better.

25 miles
I set my converance for 400 and almost never shoot less than that .
Why is because even if you hit your target it doesn't do that much damage , but if close the bulltes seem to go "into" the plance farther and do more damage .
Example , say shot at a car door , long distance you get through the outer skin but close up , go through both the skin inside door skin , the driver and out the other door to exit the car .
That's why it's so important to work for the close shot .
A side bennie is it's so cool when they go BOOM :)
