I guess really close, you would blast zeke easily (and slightly tougher KI84 N1K2 etc...), with a closer convergence - like 150-200m.

305 meters is the standard range all USN and USMC fighters' guns were harmonized at (except night fighters, which were set for around 200m--but don't hold me to that).

That's the range I use (and it is very effective between 200 and 400m) for US fighters. I like the Navy sight more than the Army sight, but it took me a while to come to a full appreciation of its virtues.

cheers
