Gun Convergence

[II./JG1_Wilcke]

VO101 Tom,

Well done, great post been looking for documentation like that for awhile!

I wish the devs would have added an ingame screen where one could setup the aircraft and actually shoot at a target and then analyze the hits.

I see that we have horizontal and vertical convergance, do both those numbers have to match?

Thx. Take a look at that page, there are still many interesting documents (LW and Allied types as well). In addition there are two site, where a lot of similar stuff in (On these pages you need to pay, but much more document are available. Particularly the Hafner site):
www.luftfahrt-archiv-hafner.de
www.cockpitinstumente.de

It would be useful to measure. But I suspect that the spray pattern compared to photos, we would cry

The 109 convergence should be (based of this document):
MG-FF horizontal: 200m, vertical: 400m
MG-17 horizontal and vertical: 400m

thanks tom, i think i may have a 190 document very similar to that one. if i find it i'll post for comparisons.

does it seem odd to anyone else that minimum convergence isn't really known? maybe its just me idk.

This one?

[madrebel]

Referring the aircraft.ini, iL2CoD-v1.05.15950, the standard convergence for all BF109E is defined as follows:

nose mounted MG 2x Rheinmetall-Borsig MG 17 (7.92mm)
vertical convergence == 400 m (Visierschuss)
horizontal convergence == 420 m (Kreuzung)

wing mounted MG 2x Rheinmetall-Borsig MG 17 (7.92mm)
vertical convergence == 500 m (Visierschuss)
horizontal convergence == 300 m (Kreuzung)

wing mounted MG 2x Oerlikon/Ikaria MG FF (20mm)
vertical convergence == 500 m (Visierschuss)
horizontal convergence == 300 m (Kreuzung)

wing mounted MG 2x Oerlikon/Ikaria MG FF/M (20mm)
vertical convergence == 500 m (Visierschuss)
horizontal convergence == 300 m (Kreuzung)

Hi. Interesting vaules
(where is this file? It's a some kind of cracking stuff?)

OT: The aircraft.ini like other files is stored in the SFS-filesystem. SFS-files are used for creating installer archives and software distributions. Reading a SFS-file / SFS-archive has nothing to do with hacking, cracking, patching, cheating or whatever ... ...

Hi!

I'm a little confused about what value to put in the game: meters or yards?

I ask because we need to put the the range to taget (convergence) in order to hit your target:

If the convergence is in meters then first need to convert this measure in yards.

Another question: is still necessary to put in double the convergence on gunsight?

Meter in the blue plane
Yards in the red planes

I don't think what is said on the link is true. Mine is setted at 250 yards for a 32ft wingspan on the Hurri and works fine that way.
