Best approach to A/G gunnery?

[Luzifer]

I have been practicing with the Harrier more in the last few days, including A/G guns. Setting up, aiming and hitting things is not the problem. However, the CCIP gun target is significantly above the flight path vector here (and from the videos it looks to be similar in the F/A-18C). Essentially, for me a gun run looks like this:

 

1. Set a flight path to smash into the ground half a mile in front of the target
   
2. Keep the CCIP on the target and wait for in range
   
3. Fire
   
4. Pull up like mad and hope not too many rodents get sucked into the jet engine
   

Is there a better or more correct approach that feels less fatally reckless? What speed is best for this?

Currently Gun pod angle is not correct and RAZBAM is trying to fix this.

Thanks, that would explain it. Although from a video it appeared to me the F/A-18 gun had a similar angle so I thought it would be correct. Will have to try in the 18 myself later.
