Zoltar Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Hi All, I have created this track for my Air to Air gunnery practice mission. I have kept things simple by choosing C-130. Nice, juicy transport a/c. But i am not able to shot down that with guns only. I get close to a perfect hit many times but alas can't make it:( . Please correct me :helpsmilie: The track is attached with the post.
PFMM Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Things you need to stop doing; -Matching speed with your target. Lack of speed (ie energy) is death. Maintain position with barrel rolls and yo-yos. -Matching course with your target. You are responding to him, you want it the other way around. -Needing to have the target in sight all the time. If it places you in a postion of advantage, let him go, when you pick him up again he will be at a disadvantage. Things to start doing; -Learn how your gun works. Make gun runs without the pipper. Observe the fall of shot. Use friiendly planes as drones to begin with. - Predict! Let him fly into your sights, not the other way round - Learn how to spot. Fly through clouds he will highlighted against them, get below hiw he will be highlighted by the sky. Force him to fly certain angles and he will present a larger sillhouette. - Patience, you are rushing. - Smooth inputs, you are making too many sudden inputs and over compensating as a result. And finally, practice, practice, practice. I also provided my version of your mission. Keep in mind that I'm no good and I've flown it with the keyboard. The purpose here is to illustrate some of the points I've made. Guns-C-130.zip
