Good air to air accuracy rating?

[JG27_PapaFly]

Your hitrate is totally irrelevant. Bagging the kill and living is what counts.

Sure if you consistently miss you should do something about it. But don't keep your finger off the trigger just to boost hitrate.

Here are two examples where you should shoot without thinking about hitrate:

1) Psychological shooting. You wouldnt believe how many opponents i psyched into a spin by shooting at them, knowing i would miss. We all know that with connection lag, you can't judge the position of a guy shooting at you with complete confidence. It may look like he'll miss, and yet he scores. Classic example: opponent is in a spiral climb, close to stalling. You shoot holes in the air just behind his plane, and there he goes trying to tighten up and stalling out. Same goes for scissors and such, as well as guys trying to run. You know he's about to outrun you, so you aim carefully and shoot a few bursts at 500-700m of distance. Your hitrate might be below 1% at that distance, but very often it's enough for him to see your tracers pass close by and he'll start turning, allowing you to close in for the kill.

2) Shooting to alarm friendlies. You're in trouble and your buddies are unable to spot you? Squeeze off a few rounds, they will see the tracers at greater distance than nav lights.

S!
