Good shooting?

#1 Post by Boac » Tue Jul 23, 2019 2:55 pm

From Airlive

"South Korea fighter jets fired hundreds of warning shots at Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers"

SK claims they violated SK airspace, Russia says not - I want to know why they missed? :))

Ah, but you wouldn't have had hundreds of rounds would you? :)

36% of all my bullets air-air were hits. I hit every banner. An estimated 4 hits with APHEI rounds were needed for a big target like a Bear (in the crucial area that the banner represented), so a single 1/3 second burst of around 18 rounds from me would have done it . However, the banner was always circling and targets flying in straight lines are easier, although banners don't fire back. You would have to hire BOAC if you want single-shot Godlikeness.
