Vert/horizon convergence still reversed?

[David198502]

yes they are still reversed...you should be able to recognize it if set one of both to the max value which is i think 1000.
then you should clearly see the difference.

Yes, they are most certainly still reversed.

This might me a silly question, but should both convergence settings be set the same for the same gun? For ex, on my Hurricane if I want MG convergence at 200 yds, I pressume I set both convergence settings to 200, or am I missing something?

Some like to set up a "cone of fire" for a given distance.

Not really.

if i recall correctly german 109s in the BOB had an horizontal convergence of 200 meters, and a vertical convergence of 400 meters. According to other in-mates at my squadron, if you set this the gun sight will be perfectly centered for this shot.

Which makes them converge horizontally at both 200 and 400 - just as a HK G3 assault rifle with the sight set at 200 meters is also correct at 30 meters with the bullet passing the sight line "on the way up" (remember that from my military service days ). Not that it matters much at 30 meters but when calibrating sights you do that at 30 meters as it's easier and then it works for 200 meters too...
