Changing convergence to 250 yards
Cheesehawk,
Since changing my convergence from 437 yards (400 meter setting in the plane loadout) to 230 meters (250 yards) and setting my sight properly, my hit percentage has jumped to 17%. Close in engagements and longer bursts have had a noticible effect, particularily with bombers. If you re-calculate the numbers, whereas before a 2.5 second burst with a 5% hit ratio would result in 15 rounds hitting the target, 4.95 rounds penetrating the skin/structure and only .297 rounds penetrating the armour (virtually zero) then compare that with the new convergence setting with a hit percentage of 17% (this is not a new average, but the results of one mission), then 51 rounds will hit the target, 16.83 will penetrate the skin/structure and 1.0098 rounds will actually get through the 4mm armour plate. Odds are still not in your favour, but the numbers do demonstrate the effect convergence has on the potential outcome on an engagement.
