Sight reticle and ground attack with rockets or guns

[Leviathan667]

Hi, is there a way to cage the sight reticle? With the reticle being stabilized by the gyro, it has a tendency to wobble with the slightest stick movement. Thus, it is very difficult to target ground vehicles and accurately hit them with rockets or 30 mm shells.

I usually aim slightly below the target and let the reticle slowly run its course to intersect with the target. This method requires micro-corrections to the attitude and lateral movement of the aircraft, mostly using trim. But with a wobbling reticle, I end up overcorrecting most of the time. 

Any tips?

Cant find a reference but I believe in AG the reticle should be fixed and only moves in the vertical by way of the set depression.

That's definitely not what OP and I are seeing, the sight remains uncaged and gyros around like the A2A modes.

Same here.

Agree it shouldn't imo be doing that ... perhaps this AG side of things hasn't been implemented yet.

After a few days watching videos on basic surface attack tips and tactics (see videos below) and practice, I do handle the plane better. The solutions lies in trimming the plane and using more trim to correct the pitch in order to minimize reticle movement while also keeping an eye of the ADI to make sure the plane stays level when aligned with the target (I find the radar reference in the sight misleading when it comes to assess whether the plane is level or not).

An issue with this is that I have to zoom out to be able to see the sight and ADI at the same time. Since the targets are very small (IFVs, APCs), this makes aiming quite difficult. Also, the rockets are very ineffective.
