I'm trying out DCS A-10 and there's a fire control option for doing that with the aiming computer. Somebody told me WWII planes did that but it seems odd. Most of these planes were FB and so could engage both air and ground targets. I'm sure there are some specialized examples of angled guns but not on the regular aircraft, is that correct?
