zoot Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 I have been trying to practice guns, so I put immortality on so I actually get a chance to do some shooting :music_whistling: I cant seem to shoot anything down. in the training mission for f-15 once I take over I do fine, but in a mission with immortality on I cant get anything [practicing on su17's] heres the stupid question --in guns is the other enemy AC somehow immortal in relation to my guns? ok...ok... you can stop laughing now, i swear I used to be pretty good with guns in janes f-18 and f-15 but im getting no love in lomac i know how to read the lead calculatin sight, and I know the enemy isnt immune from my missiles [sadly I run out of ammo and aim-9 them to death] but im stumped here. seriously, stop laughing... anyway, anyone with any helpful hints to knife fighting in lomac [guns] please share them here. :joystick:
SUBS17 Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Push 3 for vertical scan mode and then c for guns. The vertical scan mode will automatically acquire the target. Simply place the pipper on the target and the rounds will hit if you have the right deflection. In some cases you have to adjust lead to hit the target if its in a turn. Practice on C130s or Russian transports first then move to fighters. Another thing is if you don't use vertical scan then you use a funnel. In this case you place the aircrafts wings aligned with the funnel and fire.(note- in falcon you have to adjust for aircraft type as some aircraft have a wider wingspan so the funnel is adjusted wider to accomodate this). The 3rd mode is just using the gun cross which is near the top of the Hud, I only use it if I'm close enough that I know I won't miss.:D [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
Mobius1 Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Make sure your joystick settings are set correctly. I like the smoothing to be set to almost zero, so I can make precise adjustments, and I like some curvature, but not too much. Once I figured out that that was my problem (mostly the smoothing), I went from wasting all my gun ammunition on one Su-17, to shooting it down in less than 30 seconds. :thumbup: Stupid thermals...
