Gunnery

[stran]

fly the yak9-u. i flew it for most of Tour 113 and my hit % went way up. when i stopped flying it my hit % went down. 

Gotta love the snail and his wonderful illustrations.  I'm being serious by the way, no sarcasm here.  I enjoy all the information you put out there to us Lusche.

+1

Or.. do what Challenge does  and go buff hunting. big slow targets make good aiming practice.

I hate to tell you this... since you obviously have never fought bombers at 30k... bombers ARE NOT slow. Big of course but not slow.

[stran]

maybe bombers aren't such a good idea than, sandwich. you'll have more trigger time if you stay below 20K.

I've noticed it doesn't count my hits when I shoot trees while RTB.

It does not count when I shoot barns or windmills.

Maybe it is a glitch.

At the risk of stating the obvious, I'm going to take you seriously...

"It" does count those...  As misses...  So shooting those, whether you hit them or not, hurts your hit%.

The good news, though, is that it sounds like you can hit the broad side of a barn, and you don't even need to be inside it to do it, hehe!

If you're in fighter mode, every bullet that fails to connect with an enemy aircraft counts as a miss.  Even if it hits "something".  GV's, PT boats, buildings, all are misses, even if you hit/destroy them.

In attack mode, you'll get credit for hitting GV's, boats, buildings, ack guns, etc...  Shooting trees, barns, windmills will still count as misses.

Eww you caught a hog pilot. They don't make good eating.  Shuff, throw him back!

[CAP1]

Don't feel bad, some of us can't hit the broadside of a mountain from 1 foot away.  Be thankful that you can at least score some hits, wish my gunnery was decent instead of being in the crapper.

ack-ack

you never seem to miss when i'm out in front of ya...........

I'm really terrible at my gunnery. I can't even hit someone 200 infront that had no idea I'm behind them. So, I've turned tracers off so they don't always give me away anymore  .

always found that to be a good move.

Gunnery was the most frustrating thing for me, and was part of what eventually made me move on from the game. Seemed that even though The Snail's charts said I was well above average, I'd only manage to convert 1/4 of my kill shot opportunities into dead planes.

Never could rise above that plateau. A big <S> to the guys who master it!
