Aces High - New video from me! :)

nobody stops to learn at gunnery and to know the right convergence for someones preferences helps to save ammo.
And yes, the weight and drag of the pods are simulated and handicap the light 109 quite severe.
with the pods the 109 has 3 x 20 mm and 2 x 13 mm and was usually used against bombers only.
Yes the spit´s 20mm are cannonshells.

Yeh i meant the pods on the 109s

I wouldnt take them into a dogfight like that, the stock 20mm on a 109 is enough to take down a spit, and with pods the performance of the 109 is reeeealy handicapped (speed, turn rate, stall speed, acceleration...)

Not that im trying to take away from your flying though, i still enjoyed your movie

Hehe...Thanx. The mate I shot down first in the movie is really good, he has been playing IL-2 since the beginning and he always shots me down. Expect this time! I came from behind at very low altitude and I made sure he didn´t spot me to early. It was a joy seeing him go down when he always brings me down! I also think he brought with pods because he is a really good shooter and wanted to bring me down faster or something! hehe..

As for convergence I think I had the wrong setting. I have 250 m in the sim, and I think I should edit that to 200 m. Convergency is where you bullets meet right? I have read the gunneryguide on SimHq, and with the right convergence bullets hit the same spot instead of spreading all over the enemy plane. Think I have to play around with different setting to find out what works for me.

my convergence settings for planes with wing-mounted weapons are:
200 m for the light stuff (mg) to slow a fleeing enemy who is faster and 100 m
for the cannons for the close kill and snapshots in a dogfight and of course fired seperately.
