175? In a Hurri 1? THATS IMPOSSIBLE! The closest i get normally is about 2k away!, If i fire i fire at 600. 175 sounds way to close. Are you sure about that?

see, that sounds slightly more reasonable, but I still have the problem of getting that close without losing my head, or more commonly, one of my wings. (Or slightly less common but still common, both of them!)

Yes, *very* much sure about that!

I dont fire at more then d200 (thats 300 yds max). The closer the better. Otherwise it costs *way* too much ammo.

Schatzi flys the Hurri MK1 a lot. She is the person to listen to. On the other hand .303's suck and if you are trying to down something with them @ 600 yards .....well....if you do hit something at that range the round has very little energy left.

thanks. (Takes the hankie and dries his eyes) Really the only reason I try to hit something from 600, is that that seems to be the closest i can get. I just cant get to 200 feet

FYI: Generally you don't want to "shotgun" your convergences to scatter the rounds. Each gun already has a "cone of fire" built in, so even though your path might intersect with the enemy plane you can still miss (above or below the target). Even if you have 4 cannon you seriously (and I'm serious here) want to set ALL GUNS to the same convergence.

If you're banking on 1 single round to cause enough damage to get a kill, you might as well spray rom 1.2k out. If you're actually planning on getting the kill, set all guns to the same spot, AIM for that spot, and KILL from that spot. It's the best way.

Well now we know what your problem is, your convergence isn't a big deal, its your Air Combat Manuvering thats messed up ! Getting close is what this game is all about. Hurri is very effective in the MA as a base defence aircraft, but ya got to know how to whip that thing around and get close in for those snap shots.

When fighting....for now... concintrate on getting close. Don't just follow someone around, try to figure "where" the enemy plane is heading, turn ahead of him, and get there first. You have to "lead" your plane in to the fight as much as you have to "lead" with your guns.

TA is a great place for practice, you don't get killed as much  :)  so its much easier on the ego  :lol Practice getting close, then the kills will come!  Good luck!

Read your way through http://www.netaces.org

Another great article is "How to fly the Scissors Maneuver" on SimHQ - as well as the rest. Be warned though... might cause headaches :).


Get yourself in 1 vs 1 situations with good pilots. Either in MA or ask for duels. Make the goal of your fights to saddle up 200 off the other guys tail, not the kill. Practice practice, and, did i mention practice?? :)


If you see me online, dont hesitate to ask me for a few fights!

rgr schatzi. Thanks a lot. Actually i was just in the TA and i reckon I would have shot Fuzmans tail off 5 times. And i racked another guy, that would have left him smoking. All from 200!

What utter and compete BS, quite frankly I should kick you off this bbs for this post.

The real truth is you do not like the answer.
