See now this part I usually have no problem with when I put my mind to it.
What I would really like to know. All joking aside is how you manage to aim as well as you do?
I've been one pinged by you on shots that your average to above average pilot misses 90% of the time.
Im not going to claim to be a super uber pilot. But I can hang with most. And where I lack most in is my aiming and in taking advantage of the shots that I have when i have them. Be cause with some of the best pilots I know you dont often get a second chance and it comes down to who makes the most of their targeting opportunity first.
so whats the secret to learning better gunnery?
Dred, what you refer to is this kill.
http://dasmuppets.com/public/Grizz/dredjet.ahfAs you will see, you gave me a much better shot than you thought you did. By the time I was finished firing you were <200yds. If there is a secret to better gunnery, especially in tater planes, it's setting your lead very early, aligning yourself so your bogey is flying through your cockpit view left to right or right to left, lining it up early, and firing early.
In the 262, I have different convergences for each of my guns so my taters are covering a larger surface area and increasing the chance of a connection. Once I was reasonably lined up and firing a stream of taters out in front of you, it was unlikely you'd be able to fly through them untouched.
Another point I should touch on when watching tater films. The lead you see in these films is misleading(pun
). You actually have to lead more in flight because you have to account for
Response Times. The time it takes for your brain to say Fire and for your finger to actually pull the trigger will account for an additional need to fire earlier.
