Bullethead 12 Posted October 15, 2009 The attached pic says all that need be said of the minimal ACM of this hop. However, note that I had only 40 rounds left when the Archie finished off my victim. That's fairly embarassing, but I just can't grok aiming in the SE5. This guy has seriously shot up several other planes but hasn't been able to fill out a claim form until now because he's hit them all over, and then a wingman delivers the fatal blow. So how to you aim in an SE5? The Aldis doesn't seem to do the trick. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duce Lewis 3 Posted October 15, 2009 Haven't flow Se5's in a long while but I remember that Aldis Sight I switched to RFC 74 They have a nice Ring Sight and removed that big head rest too Either that or get so close, you can't miss Happy Hunting, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted October 15, 2009 I switched to RFC 74They have a nice Ring Sight and removed that big head rest too Definitely sounds better, but I'm in No. 41 because it's where the Kaiserschlacht is starting. Maybe 74 is, too, but I don't think so. Guess I'll have to spend some time in QC to figure this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullethead 12 Posted October 15, 2009 Great Combat report there BH!! Thanks. And even though Archie finally knocked him down, it still got an 80 pending rating (I peeked in my text files). I just wish I knew how to aim the SE5, or I might have gotten 2 or 3 of them. Unescorted, fairly low 2-seaters deep in friendly territory is a recipe for padding your score . It was a very curious mission all around. I've never led a flight of 8 before, nor had the legendary basketball coach Phil Jackson along. You'd think he'd have been in the ace flight . And then there was the behavior of my wingmen. Our briefed target was in the opposite direction from where the DFWs were going. While my flight all followed me as I turned and climbed after the DFWs, as soon as I gave the attack order 4 of them turned around and flew off apparently toward the briefed target, even though I hadn't selected it. 3 of them followed the DFWs with me, but they never closed in to firing range. Perhaps they were all loaded down with bombs, but I'd picked "none" for loadout because I knew we'd never reach the target anyway. Then I got wounded. I noted this fbecause I have the hit messages turned on. I only took 2 hits the 1st time but they both said "Pilot Damaged". Must have been 2 headshots coming in over the top of the engine. However, I looked at the HUD text and saw my hitpoints had only gone from 57 to 46 and weren't decreasing further like I was bleeding, so I figured I was just grazed across both temples. Nice dueling scars, eh? Strangely, however, my log makes no mention of being wounded and I'm on the schedule for the next mission. Guess I wasn't hurt badly enough to count.

Bullet, try looking for a Se5a Viper Squad I think they all have the Ring Sight Woseley Crates use the Aldis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
