I tried all kinds and the best is 150/400...got that a while back from a post by Mr.X...please correct me if I'm wrong Mr.X.

Today it still gives the best results I've seen from 400 meters and it seems, all the way up to the target. If I bulls-eye exactly at 400 meters say a steady un-armed bomber, it will hit. Spit or 109.

The tough part of course is getting in place and holding steady on the moving target. I believe the best marksmen are simply the best pilots. In the game anyway.

If you try historical settings -with CloD- ahem...

The worst I've tried is 200/200, you have to be close for this one to work !

Hi hegyck,

We're not doing prone rifle shooting so you'll get scatter anyway from relative movement of the aircraft. Speaking of which I am old enough to have shot 0.303 rifles in competitions as a lad and we would put shots inside an 8 inch (?? I seem remember it was almost the size of a human head) bullseye at 200 yards time after time so I suppose your dispersion does come from the Browning machine gun action and vibration (0.303 Bren guns were harder to group).

I doubt if 1C have modelled the Browning dispersion anyway, they have enough trouble with a Merlin engine.
