In arcade and realistic you have a deflection guide in the HUD. This is the roving crosshair that tracks the AC you have target lock on. This is meant to give you your deflection target to shoot at but the problem is it's a bit off. If you aim your guns at this deflection target odds are you will miss.
What it is good for is guaging the target speed. I use that for guessing speed and use the target info onscreen for range then use an initial bust of fire to get the deflection zoned. I usually aim a plane and a half length ahead of the deflection crosshair then adjust visually using the first short burst to zone in.
After lots of practice it becomes second nature and before you realize it you will stop using the deflection guide and your first burst will be more accurate. If you head to sim mode where there is no HUD you will be adjusting your shots instinctively
