I use 200m converge on both MG and cannon as I have both guns binded to my #1 trigger on the joystick. I cant really say how I aim, you learn it. After awhile you know when to aim abit down/up of the target. Just keep testing! Make a mission with the quick mission builder with 1 enemy and make it's loadout 'empty' so it cant shoot you, practice practice practice.

It's all about experience and the gut feeling you learn. For example, I know the exact point when I need to drop my bomb on a low level raid, just by a gut feeling. Try to imagine the trail of the bullets/bombs. I've used this in many games, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Call of Duty. Once you learn it, you know when to fire and when it's just a waste of bullets. I can possibly upload a mission or 2 from my JG53 Coop sorties where you see me holding my fire until I'm in good position. But that's for tomorrow.

i prefer to learn it the hard way, if i miss then it can shoot me.. then i at least know i was wrong :p

How many other prototypes, let alone heavy bombers, we're rolled on take off at airshows?

Oberon - she's at Manston next Saturday, no rolls but just to hear her is enough to make every hair stand on end. Plans are going well for a further two seasons after this but money is always an issue.

They used to say that the Vulcan could be thrown around the sky like a fighter a third of its size. Able to dodge Delta Daggers and other USAF interceptors during Skyshield and later exercises. Beautiful aircraft.

I doubt I'll get to see her again since the local airshow was rolled up, but I consider myself lucky to have seen a Vulcan three times in my life.

Not sure if I've posted this before, but salvaged this from my Google Video account:
F35 vs. J10 Battlefield 2 dogfight:

(Me in F35 vs. random pub in J10)

Who hasnt played BF2: J10 could evade missiles by simply turning hard, but I got
lucky this time.

Too bad I lost my air-to-air kills BF2 vid, that was pretty cool.

Love that game!

Here's my channel. Most of my videos are Rise of Flight and IL2 Cliffs of Dover.

I've got a new video (probably my most explosive) uploading while I post

[Oberon]

Another gem from Ralfi.

Contains some swearing:


His 'ships and giggles' (my edit) videos are worth checking out too.

These were worth a watch.

This film is about the helicopter door gunner, nicknamed 'Shotgun Rider.' He was
a new addition to the helicopter crew, and the film shows him as he performed
some of his various duties in Vietnam, after a rigorous training program.

(Skip to around 03:55 to get over the ridiculously long intro)

Helicopter Gunship pilot Captain James Powell shares his personal 8mm footage
taken while on tour in Vietnam 1968.

Personal 8mm Footage taken by UH1 and Cobra pilot Major Alfred Demailo,
serving in Vietnam during 1967/68 and 1970/71.

Tail? Who needs a tail to land. Pfff.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Well done.

If the Huey's a-rocking, don't come knocking.

Edit - and as for your air taxi and landing - are you certain that's you? No damage, not even a scrape of the concrete!

Shows how bad idea it is to start thinking of something else ("Mmm... should go and buy some beer for tonight..."
as you are landing.

Heey!

It's actually not so hard after awhile. Just need to remember to give more power
as the shaking starts. What I had difficulties when I started was the fact that
it feels like you are going down no matter how much collective you give,
so I gave too much collective. But once you get down low enough and the ground
effect kicks in, it stops your descend and leaves you to a hover.

Now, I just need to learn to hit something from a distance with the weapons
and I'm all set!

EDIT: Those with X52 (no idea if it's the same for the pro version), on landing,
I find that when the shaking starts, raising the physical X52 collective to the
farthest "notch" (when it feels a bit stiffer) before 100% is enough to stop
the descend enough for the ground effect to catch you. Guess it's about 75-80% or something.
