Proper deflection shooting is knowing were and when to fire. This doesn't happen in arcade because everybody is firing non stop trigger spamming with unlimited ammo. This isn't calculation, this is fire & sweep.

If you really want to get good at deflection shooting, do training on realistic or sim with limited ammo.

Well some of the finest flyers on PS3 started in Arcade and learned the deflection angles there and took those skills onto Realistic and Sim where they picked up the angles very quickly so it cant be all fire & sweep. Actually the ammount of damage the planes take in Arcade means you need to keep adjusting your firing angles which makes it a good place to start.
