no... how can i say this... its as though the stick and rudder movements directly affect the aim of the guns... basically... not only does the rudder change the YAW of the plane... it also "pivots" the guns in the direction you are yawing...
A senario: Im in hurri (or whatever) and i have a me 110 in range (dead ahead, no deflection needed) and just off to the left of dead center bullseye... I naturally would rudder left and get him in my center... now if I do this WHILST firing, the center aim would reach the target BEFORE my bullets do.. thus I would have to swing teh center aim point across the target for my bullets to hit him.... now IN THE GAME in teh same senario when I yaw left whilst firing at the same time, the bullets actually aim to the LEFT of center aim and will hit the target before the center aim point has reached the target
its as though there is a tiny little man in each wing turning the guns towards the target when I apply rudder. I apply a little left rudder, he turns the guns to the left a little.
this effect also applies to the stick but to a less severity... (whilst firing) I pull back on the stick and my bullet go up above the center aim... I pitch down and the bullets go below
the reflector sight and the guns are FIXED OBJECTS to the plane... they shouldn't act independently of each other (christ, thats the whole point of having a reflector sight in the first place. to show where your FIXED guns are aiming at.)
