Sniper, or Sledgehammer? What range do you tend to shoot at?

[SilverZ06]

I mainly fly and die in P38s

Do you prefer Cannons or 50 cals? [Both(nose mounted)
What ranges do you set your convergence? 650y in the 38s, 400 in everything else
Do you set all of your guns to converge in a spread or at a point? Point
Do you actually find yourself firing from that range? I fire from d600 on in
Would you consider yourself an accurate burst shooter or a spray till they explode shooter? I shoot bursts but my accuracy is absolutely horrible. I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat. I would be a half decent pilot if my gunnery were improved.

Do you prefer Cannons or 50 cals? I like having both, but I prefer cannons.
What ranges do you set your convergence? Depends on the plane and situation, but usually 300 or 350.
Do you set all of your guns to converge in a spread or at a point? Point. Sometimes I set the cannons a bit farther.
Do you actually find yourself firing from that range? I fire within 400 usually, but I try to get as close as I can. 200 and under is where I like to be.
Would you consider yourself an accurate burst shooter or a spray till they explode shooter? I fire in short bursts and adjust.

Sniper in my mind, sledgehammer in reality......

Upping at least once, every night, in offline mode and killing all the drones with different approaches/ranges has helped my accuracy immensely.

Do you prefer Cannons or 50 cals?  out of the choises cannons
What ranges do you set your convergence?  300 for all aircraft except on the 262, Dora and P51 which are 350
Do you set all of your guns to converge in a spread or at a point?  point
Do you actually find yourself firing from that range?  always
Would you consider yourself an accurate burst shooter or a spray till they explode shooter?  I mix the two, I spray the MGs to get range and lead and then burst the cannons to get hits.

Do you prefer Cannons or 50 cals? 4x50s wing mounted.
What ranges do you set your convergence?  400yds for all 50 cal aircraft.
Do you set all of your guns to converge in a spread or at a point?  Point for maximum damage.
Do you actually find yourself firing from that range?  About 75% of the time.
Would you consider yourself an accurate burst shooter or a spray till they explode shooter?  Burst, no tracers, don't fire if you're not going to hit.

No tracers....hehe...

ONLY NERDS USE NO TRACERS!!

Seriously though, why the hate on tracerlessism?

Turning tracers off has actually helped my aim somehow.  Not sure the reasoning behind it, but what the hell, it worked for me.

When I flew a k4... "Black Widow" style, dance & get in close, then kiss them with the 30 and say good night.

If you're anything like me (God I hope not  ) you may be chasing the tracers sometimes when they're on.  I've found that I sometimes shoot much better when I turn them off.

Then again, I sometimes I can't hit the broad side of a barn.  The lesson, I think, is I'm stupid.

I went through a no tracers phase.  I thought it was going quite well, and liked the fact they didn't wiggle as much.  I turned them on again after about 6 months because I felt my gunnery was slipping, and noticed an immediate improvement in my gunnery even from when I felt it was decent.  Have left them on ever since.

Ya, I think this is it.  I think when I have them on, I dont aim with my plane as much, I aim by shooting tracers, and then trying to correct from there, lol.

+1.  Done it...it's only good for being sneaky.  The extra half second it buys you because your unaware opponent is wondering why he's "hearing" and not "seeing" the rounds is enough to momentarily paralyze while he frantically looks around and that's enough for the kill.  The other thing it does is allows cons that are depending on seeing shots fired to maneuver away to have no visual reference to move in the opposite direction or from side to side.  It's quite effective and deceptive....but not immersive....it's too gamey for me.
