Hi everyone, Despite the following being in the changelog: I am still experiencing issues with 5-inch/38 calibre guns, as fitted to the USS Samuel Chase and Essex-class. In the below tracks I have a single aircraft approaching the USS Samuel Chase from the starboard rear-quarter. Wind is calm, the ship is not in motion and I've set the weather to clear skies. In both cases the aircraft approaches from the same direction and remains in level flight, the only difference between the 2 tracks is the altitude the aircraft flies at. While the 3-inch/50 guns engage more-or-less as expected (when the aircraft briefly exits their engagement zone, they cease tracking and reset to their default positions instead of attempting to continue tracking the target - so far only the KS-19 appears to do this) in the 6kft track the 5-inch gun never engages, despite doing so in the 2kft track. 6000 ft should be more than within the capability of 5-inch gun (in-fact it outranges and has a higher ceiling than the 3-inch guns - compare this table (5"/38) with this table (3"/50)). With the Essex (which I've separately reported here) the guns track the target in both cases (the directors though do not), but only in the 2kft track do they actually engage. However, even so, they take a long time to commence firing (the Bofors 40 mm actually opening fire first) and they only get a single salvo off before resetting(-ish) and no 5-inch gun further attempts to engage the aircraft. In the 6kft track, they track the target, but never engage and simply reset, pretty much exactly mirroring this bug report for ground-based AAA - where so far only the KS-19 behaves as expected.

As tittle, i ask for ability to set guns vertical aiming to much expected Speed and G loads during fights, right now i always have to shoot blind in P-51, spitfire or P47

Are there any land based gunnery and bombing ranges anywhere on the Syria map? Are there any on the Turkish part? What about sea based training zones?

what is the gun convergence set at for each of the fighters, in "DCS". i understand that the range can be set on K-14 to further than the gun convergence.

Hi I flew on on my old missions that goes back to June 2022 and was always working fine. However I tried today, as always sending my wingman to execute mission and rejoin. All good, only that after I received "Running in" I heard "Guns Guns Guns" radio call, so checking on my wingy and sure enough he is charging Tor with his 20mm. Why? I checked and my mission is as it was since I created it. Bombing - Decoys - All. I suspected a bug and fortunately I was able to reproduce - track attached. TALD gone wrong.trk
