He flew with 109 G. The convergence much more important, if you have wing mounted guns.

In a 109 the convergence is rather less important, even with the convergence set to infinity the trajectory would still be in a triangle roughly 50cmx50cmx50cm, plus of course the ballistic diversions.
For wing mounted guns i believe that the lowest distance setting of the gunsight (150yds) would also the reasonable shortest possibility for the guns.
For the german wing mounted guns the fixed distance of 100m would fit.
If you are closer you shoot with a slight offset, using effectively half of your guns and the other half by chance.

I agree pretty much. I can't consider this a bug without some more research on the matter, so i can't vote on it. I mean, if it gets implemented that way and then we find out it's wrong, we'll have to report it again and change it back to realistic values.

I think that's a waste of the developer team's limited resources at this point. Better get the bomber systems sorted (bombsight and autopilot bugs) so that people have an incentive to fly at proper altitudes, then take note of the FM inaccuracies and correct those.

This will have a much more pronounced positive effect on gameplay than making rushed changes to wing mounted guns.

Again, if it was doable in the real aircraft i have no objection to it. It's not like it favors one side at this point anyway so even bias is not an issue (the main fighters for both red and blue have wing mounted guns). I'm just not convinced/lack the evidence to support the idea and vote for it.
