Another big Thank You to Hat

[Zak33]

Never thought of assigning a Key Stroke to Record Tracks....did last night.

Then, in my newly trusted LA7 with 3 canons, did a few fly by's on some German planes, aiming for delfections at weird (and easier0 angles.

Then replayed each fly by.....with Externals.....

I cant swear on here....I am a Moderator.....but FOR **** SAKE.....HOW FAR AWAY HAVE I BEEN AIMING ?

HOLY CARP.....WHAT A rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish




Cheers Hat. Lots of people have suggested it before, but a thread I read last night prompted me.

Quote from a RAF Gunnsery Instructor

""It was possible to assess shooting accuracy by using the ciné-camera mounted above the gunsight of the aircraft, which viewed the target area ahead and at the same time showed sighting information from the gunsight. After the exercise, the film from the camera was processed then run through a projector on to a screen adjusted to the harmonisation point of the guns and the sightline. The film could be stopped to allow each frame to be assessed, to provide a score of the estimated number of hits achieved in each attack. In the Central Gunnery School method, the knave was the pilot who opened fire at ten degrees angle-off the target rather than the, say, thirty degrees angle-off required by the exercise; thereby he might achieve a very high score of hits, while the pilot who had striven to achieve a thirty degree angle-off might get a lower score because of the greater difficulty in aiming at the larger deflection angles. So I gave a bias to those who hit the target at the higher angles and a reduction to hits scored at the lower angles. I carried this system on to my next post at the RAF Flying College at Manby""

Moral of the story?

1.View your tracks to assess whats right and what's wrong
2.Easier to score hits with a lower angle off
3.Get the hang of deflection shooting from angles off at 30 degrees plus

In dogfighting, its always a trade off between Energy and Angle
... so the higher angle you can hit from the less energy you have to cash in

You were the 1st....Im just ignorant

[Zak33]

Tell you what IS interesting.....the spread/pattern at the end of the bullets flight.

Now I know this game is accurate, and I also know the bullets flight is hard to see, BUT the pattern is WIDE...really wide....I tried with the IL2 with BIG CANONS....you can SEE these boys fly past......recorded....went external......these things NEVER DIVERGE........they almost SPIRAL

[Skii]

Just as a cautionary note Zakk, what you see in the replay isn't always what happened, especially when it comes down to watching your bullets flight. I've viewed many a replay where I've nailed a target with a single shot, but on replay that shot is wide and yet the target is still destroyed !

[Zak33]

oh.........thats NOT good news

Good warning mate...ta

[Dakaras]

Must admit Skii never noticed that, maybe its those dodgy Mk108s you use
