Full setup all-in-one: convergence, vertical, ammo belts, squadron tags.

Ask me to make your aircraft ready!

Write your desired ID tags here (EA - X or your real squadron). I will give you everything needed for a fully ready fighter killer setup. All in a single file you simply put in a folder and replace the excising file.

This setup makes you able to hit the only weak point of the 109, the fuselage: pilot on top and fuel tanks below his bottom! You will be able to hit the fuselage from 50-200m with this setup.

This setup also works extremely well against bomber’s wing roots: their fuel tank location.

Especially designed for Spitfire but with no significant difference in Hurricane. In fact, it is much more lethal in Hurricane if the 109 is within 100m.

NOTE: Please backup your original file! Just incase you don’t like me. :o

About my setup

I used Phil’s convergence. This allows hitting a 109’s fuselage from 50-200m. Normal convergence only makes you hit the fuselage from 175-200m.

I set vertical convergence at 300m. This helps in leading and deflection shooting, and has minimal negative effect on dead six ambushes. Anything above 400m starts to create significant problems when ambushing.

I use a custom ammo belt configuration, with two thirds of AP and one third incendiary in 6 outboard guns and 50/50 AP incendiary in the two innermost guns.
This gives me plenty of leakages into any aircraft and many potential igniting opportunities. Having 50/50 gave too little piercing punch and too much surface burning damage. 65/35 to 70/30 ratio of AP/incendiary works the best.

My setup is called “Stunt”, so only copy the ammo lines that has that name preset

BTW I have tested a new setup, 1TR/3AP/3IN. Seems to be just as good as my 3AP/2IN setup.

To keep your own preset from being overwritten, only copy the bold text, and put it under [aircraft name], then again below “belt _gunxxxxx” - here is an example.

9 is AP, 10 is Tracer, 11 is Incendiary

I am now updating all your ammo files with my new setup of ball and incendiary with a single tracer every half second (one burst) instead of every tenth of a second. :wink:

Very simple installation: replace and overwrite the user.ini file in your documents/1c soft club/cliffs of dover - mod/
Remember to backup.

Charlie’s file is first up. Will do the rest after lunch.

Cheers Stunt :slight_smile:

EDIT: I just tried this out and my hit % more than doubled! Almost to good to be true. I’m amazed.

One for the briefing room maybe?
