Long bursts more effective than multiple short ones?

[Fergal69]

I find being on an angle, so 30 degrees from horizontal, rather than flying horizontal when attacking a plane seems to give a better hit ratio.

don;t suppose there is any logic to this, but it works for me.

That's as good, maybe better than hits from the side. Do you fire from far enough out that you have to aim a bit low or does the lesser bullet drop help with lead?
