Am I misunderstanding something about convergence? I see people saying that they, for example, set the horizontal convergence to 250yds then the vertical convergence to 400yds. My understanding is that this would cause the bullet streams to converge at 250yds while still climbing above the plane of your aircraft so that by the time they drop down to to the same level as the target they are scattered all over the sky and almost certainly either side of the target.

What am I missing? I can see that if you open fire on an enemy from 250yds while in a turn then you wont need to apply as much lead but if you are not in a turn you will need to calculate a vertical offset when it should not be needed so you don't really win overall.
