Currently, the Corsair's guns can be set to harmonize in a range between 300 - 500 meters.

The US wouldn't have used meters for measuring range when boresighting, and these ranges also don't fall under what the ranges used by the Americans, being much longer.

The US typically used convergence ranges between 500ft and 1000ft (Wikipedia cites works by Colgan, Bergerud, and Nijboer giving ranges of 500ft, 750ft, 900ft, and 1000ft, though I don't have the referenced books to confirm the data). According to Hammell (also cited in Wiki. I have that book, Aces Against Japan, but I don't know where my copy is off-hand) at least one Marine squadron centered the guns of their Corsairs as short as 300ft. I've seen charts for the P-47 with ranges as far as 1200ft. Well short of 500m.

I have found one harmonization chart specifically for the F4U, though I can't read any of the ranges given:

Regardless, the ranging ought to be given in yards or feet, and the range of convergence points for each gun should be brought in much closer.

Bumping this one again:

  • When the labels are added, (they weren't in this patch) please use yards, rather than meters.
  • Bring the availabe convergence ranges in shorter, between 100 - 400 yards.
  • Also as an addendum: Can we get options for convergence in the Quick Action loadout menu, as well?
