I heartily agree, in fact I wish on arcade you could turn off the box that shows you where to lead the target because for me at least it feels misleading.

Dont play arcade, move to realistic and turn your elevator settings down 1/3 and you will be fine

Yes, I am familar with deflection shooting. I have been playing WW2 flight sim games since Air Warrior back in 1995 or so.

For example, one time playing Il-2 BoP I came up right behind a JU-87. He switched to gunner and was shooting me. I was shooting him and nothing ever happened. We were quite close. Probably about 800 or so feet. We were flying a parallel course so no deflection shooting was needed.

Yeah they're tough to shoot down but are also a perfect example of why you need to be close. Try 150ft, dead serious, flaming in 2-3 seconds.
