Convergence confusion, please help.

Thanks Farber. Yes I did see your post and I did watch the video and yes both were helpful. And I don't necessarily disagree with the approach taken in Ataros' diagram where the guns are adjusted to be effective over as broad a range as possible. This is often done when sighting in a hunting rifle, for example. Instead of adjusting your sights so that your projectiles group right in the middle of the target at say 100m, it is better to have the rifle shooting about 3-4cm high (depending on the caliber) at that range, so it will still hit the vital organs of something like a deer at 300m. (Please excuse me if I'm currently in the process of telling granny how to suck eggs.)

However, it still seems to leave me with an unresolved problem. How can you seemingly assign arbitrary values to both hor. and vert. convergence in the game? Once you have determined what one or other will be, the other value is surely predetermined I would have thought???.
