Default Gun Convergance?

Looking for some advice about setting the gun convergence on the Spits. The default is 500m for both machine guns and cannons but should these be the same and set at a much lower distance? I read that the Mk1 Spits had their machine guns set at around 200 ft but not sure what the cannons convergance distance should be (when fitted). I am wasting far too much ammo trying to get the deflection angle spot on when aiming at a very small target in the gunsight but also find it damned hard to get a BF109 within 200ft.

That's very useful, thanks Letum! I will experiment and see what works best for me. I hadn't realised that the sights were different and was using the same calculation regards targetting distance irrespective of what I was flying......

I have always struggled with ground targets and now I understand why!

Convergence at 150m.. The a/c should full your gunsight ring before you fire.
