Howdy All,
I remember a few years back some sort of "Deflection Shooting" utility was posted at SimHQ (i think). I had downloaded it, tried it, and eventually lost it following a computer upgrade.

It was excellent for its simplicity. Only needed to enter speeds (yours and enemy's) / headings (again yours and enemy's) and it would automatically illustrates where should your crosshair be for the kill! Results were sometimes quite revealing.

Googled quickly but got nothing besides pages of wiki and the likes.
Anyone remembers it? Any download link by any chance?

Cheers,
Slug

It's called Sniper's Corner I believe, and you can still find it on Mission4today. smile

I found this one very enlightening, it was right here on SimHQ pages: http://www.simhq.com/_air10/air_312a.html

Dart, the author of this article also has links to his other instructional articles at this webpage : http://www.332vfg.com/traing.html It has a link to Sniper's Corner, but it seems to be broken.

All the "instructional" videos of my site are on this page:

http://www.darts-page.com/movies2.htm

Yes, I know my site is old and broken - but it seems to always slip down in priority to be fixed.

All the super great SimHQ articles are here:

http://www.simhq.com/_air/air.html#features

Skip down to Andy Bush's stuff - it's simply golden.

The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

The RAF gunnery manual is good too.. That link still works on our training page where SC is located. Joe 90 actually made a film of it called Bag the Hun links @ UBI.
