Hi.
I'd like to get some suggestions as to how you can effectively aim the Flak 88s on fields. I've spent some time trying to figure out how to narrow down your shots to a certain area, but it just honestly seems impossible.
Didn't flak 88s have any sort of iron sight? I find it really hard to hit anything at just 4k+ with only a tracer.
So, any secrets to getting the flak 88 to work effectively?
Thanks.
Before I do any kind of lengthy reply, are you talking about shooting at ground targets or aircraft?
I am fairly proficient with the 88, as I like learning and playing with all the weapons in the game. Probably the BEST way to go about this is to schedule a tutorial session in the TA, as then I can go over some basics, share some tips, and walk you through some "hands on" shooting practice as well. I'd even volunteer to fly/drive a target aircraft/vehicle around for you to shoot at to get a feel for ranging and lead requirements.
Like all gunnery, the key is to learn the basics first (weapon operation, ballistics, range effects, lead/deflection, etc.), then establish a practice method to work on it, and then practice, practice, practice. I can help you with the first two steps to get you going in the right direction, if you'd like.
Anyone interested in getting a tutorial on gunning (this goes for the 88's, 5" or 8" ship guns or shore battery) just shoot me a PM and we'll see if we can set up a time.<S>
