Is that because gun has to be bore sighted at start of every mission?

You aren't boresighting the gun, you're boresighting your helmet. Like how you can boresight the JHMCS in the F-16. Nothing changes in the aircraft, you're just telling the aircraft how to calibrate your head position so it knows where your helmet is pointed so it can cue sensors/weapons and display symbology elements in their appropriate positions, like the Flight Path Vector.

Keep in mind that if you are using the helmet sight to aim the gun, regardless of what seat you are in, it's like using a door gun on a helicopter. It's not going to lead targets, it's just going to provide range compensation for whatever range you are using. So if you are using a MANRG of 1,000 meters, but the target is at 1,500 meters, you need to aim above the target for it to reach the target. From there you need to adjust your helmet aim to walk the round impacts onto the target.

If you are using the TADS, you need to ensure you have a good, stable track on the target and a good range for the rounds to land on the target.

Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.
