j'en rajouterai au fur et a mesure de mes lectures.
Sur le tir au cannon et lâcher de bombe.
What are the recommended settings for gun convergence and bomb delay?
How do you approach targets with bombs? What's the distance you typically open fire at (what feels natural and right to you). These aren't things that I or anyone else can answer for you. That said, here's some very small pointers.
Or rather, this is what I've got setup.
Bomb Delay = 3 seconds
Reason: I fly in at low altitudes at very high speeds 400 kph+ to drop bombs and then get out so this is ideal but not too long as to prevent a kill on a moving vehicle)
Gun Convergence
- Machine Gun = 270
- Cannon = 250
Reason: I tend to fly FW190s, Spitfires, and Mustangs. The Machine guns at 270 represent the typical range to which I open fire with the .50cals. It also is a good middle ground for the lobbing of the MG151/20 shells on the primary inner cannons on A model FW190s. Cannons are a bit tighter in because I tend to use machine guns or whatevers on primary trigger to find the proper deflection and then open full up later so by that point I'm closer in.
But this doesn't mean it'll be ideal for you. Some strictly Mustang pilots prefer 200 meters convergence which is too close for me but ideal for them.
What does Gun Convergence mean / how to use it?
This is the distance from your plane to where the trajectories of the bullets fired from your guns will intersect.
These settings are of importance if you have wing mounted guns on your plane of choice.
Set them to the distance you are most likely to shoot from to maximize damage.
Most players set convergence to around 200m for dogfighting and 400m to 500m for ground attacks.
Why does it take me 2/3 of my magazine to mark the paint on another plane?
Try to focus on a specific part of the plane, and try to hit it in that one spot all the time.
Don't spray it around the whole plane, aim for specific spots like the engine, the pilot or the oil cooler.
Also, shooting right at the 6 of a plane is the worst place to hit it. There's lots of empty space under the fabric and few vital parts.
