Yes, between 400 and 600 is bad.  Still, the drone's guns are pretty useless at 1000 yards.

Many players still think that bomber guns auto converge on the targeted fighter, as in a bit above and behind the Lancs at 850 yards you would have eighteen .303s all converging to the same point if the fighter were at 850 yards, and that the convergence adjusts with the rage of the fighter.

It would be nice if we had a 3rd gun fire option on bombers.  So that only dorsal, ball, tail and nose turrets linked on the gunner's plane.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Is it me or have the new lancs been released with a new scheme for animating the tracers?

I've never liked the rainstorm looking graphics of the tracers when attacking a buff. I see the new lanc actually the show the tracers in a realistic way, eminating from a their actual origin etc...

I think it's a huge improvement. anyone else notice this?

  I don't like the look of the new tracer fire. They need to fix that. It looks like every round is a tracer.

  As far as gunning I have to get used to the new guns in the lanc as I'm missing more shots from the tail gun than before. I do like the new ammo load though.  :aok
  Took out 2 of three fighters that engaged me at the strats yesterday though the third finished me off and he was not a good shot in his 190.

  I shouldn't tell you this but most know already that the belly of the lanc is not covered by the guns. if ya can't climb high above to swoop down (the most effective way to kill them) come from below and shoot straight up.
 
 Once I get my aim in the new guns sorted out look out.  :airplane:

I think it looks like every bullet is a tracer too. PErhaps they could reduce the number. But I do like that they eminate from the actual guns. That a big improvement over the old "Rain Storm" look.

I'm guessing it is a bug. It currently looks like several miniguns going off. There has been bugs like that in defensive guns in the past.

It's a display bug.  It'll be fixed in the next patch.  It doesn't have any effect on how they hit.  You're not getting an increased rate of fire.

Lancs are my favorite bomber to take down.  The new 303's seem to have made them a little tougher but not too much.  Get ahead and above and dive down aiming at the wing root thats my favorite attack.  I love to see them becasue once you see them they can't get away, if you want em.  Just stay out of their six.  Its like giving up if you settle in on their six, because it won't be long until you are back in the tower.   :aok
