Convergence: Stagger or Not

[titanic3]

yeah well if you use the tracers to aim your 30mm you're doing it wrong...but with 50cals it's another story IMO

I use the tracers with the 30mm to aim at faraway targets 400+. Basically, I sacrifice the ability to aim at long range for more accuracy at close range. Sometimes I wish we could have tracers for the 13mms but not the 30mm.

This is like asking a bar full of patrons which beer is the best. They are equaly skilled at getting lit with their favorite brand because thats what they drink most of the time.

I find some times depending on the map, with the P51D I have to move my convergence between 275-350 to increase my kill probability. Who knows....some maps have more going on in the background than others possibly eating up some of my processing. Or it's a bad night on the internet. On the nights that the first two Texas routers in my PingPlot are not acting up, anything I point at 400 and closer, then pull the trigger goes boom. When those routers or just one of them are acting up, many of the sight pictures where I pulled the trigger previously, the cons don't go boom. More likely I'll get assists and even have to adjust my convergence to improve my assists to late kill messages.

It's kind of hard not to notice these things after playing this game for 10 years.

P-47 is the only aircraft in which staggering works IMO, I've had this discussion 5+ years ago, still is the ONLY aircraft I stagger or have outside 350 (350/375) for my staggering.

I have tried this in all my 47's for the same reason you say you stagger yours. Yes, with 8 .50's you are still landing an awful lot of rounds over a small area and it will be sheer volume casue damage. Buuuuut, at the same time, I no longer do this because I have found that when all my guns are set to 400 that I can make the red guy go bye bye quicker.
