Dog Fighting Aiming Assist

[taffy2jeffmorgan]

Hi All.  I know that there is an aiming assist for ground attack bombs/rockets and its quit accurate, but is there anything to assist in dog fighting ? [ Gyro reflector or Pipper ] I know its a long shot request but,

 

           in missions I'm using an awful lot of ammo to get a single deflection hit, I'm allowing the target [fighter] to slip just below my line of sight [ below the prop ] and my convergence is down to 250/300

 

           Cheers  [ could not hit a cows a##e with a banjo !! ]      JM.

 

 

 

 

PS. I read that the Germans did not have a decent reflector sight until late 43 and that tech was obtained from a captured P 47.

Thanks Hawker T,  As i said it was a long shot request, and I have tried the ground attack assists but now I can hit most ground targets without them. I'm sure I'll get the hang of deflection one day ?

 

 

Cheers.   JM.

There WAS a very effective gun aim point assister for offline quick missions until a few weeks ago.

It was exactly what you describe, worked well and was removed for no obvious reason.

Don't fire until your close like when the wings touch both sides of your gun sights your close enough also fire in short bursts and use your tracers to make adjustments.

But dont forget to set his guns convergence for this distance - turn on icons to see the distance this happens.

That video was exactly what I was looking for. From the suggested videos, it looks like there are a lot of IL2 1946 and CoD videos I could use to learn ACM that, of course, apply to BoS.
