Vert/horizon convergence still reversed?

[robtek]

Of course the vertical convergence is relevant for all guns, wing or fuselage mounted.

One needs it to adjust the point where the ballistic arc of the bullet and the sight-line intersect.

ah, ok.. of course. I'd overlooked that.

Referring the aircraft.ini, iL2CoD-v1.05.15950, the standard convergence for all BF109E is defined as follows:

nose mounted MG 2x Rheinmetall-Borsig MG 17 (7.92mm)
vertical convergence == 400 m (Visierschuss)
horizontal convergence == 420 m (Kreuzung)

wing mounted MG 2x Rheinmetall-Borsig MG 17 (7.92mm)
vertical convergence == 500 m (Visierschuss)
horizontal convergence == 300 m (Kreuzung)

wing mounted MG 2x Oerlikon/Ikaria MG FF (20mm)
vertical convergence == 500 m (Visierschuss)
horizontal convergence == 300 m (Kreuzung)

wing mounted MG 2x Oerlikon/Ikaria MG FF/M (20mm)
vertical convergence == 500 m (Visierschuss)
horizontal convergence == 300 m (Kreuzung)

There is a good reason why vertical standard convergence is 500 m (Visierschuss). The German iL2CoD munition types have been animated in a version "verbessert" (improved). The cartridges are of high-velocity type for maximum performance in aircraft machine guns and give higher pressure than other 7,9 mm rounds.

[FG28_Kodiak]

Bf109 E1 / E3 and E4 all uses the same convergences. wing mounted MG/Cannon set to 200/400m and over Engine mounted MGs 400/400m.
Picture for E3 (E1 and E4 are the same):
