Freycinet. I believe you are correct. From another thread, I saw that the COD MKII gunsight has either a bug or was incorrectly designed/coded... Thus the doubling of the range setting is a 'workaround' to have the correct size/image of the target aircraft at the desired Convergence distance (filling the space between the horizontal bars). So, until fixed in a patch, one would have to set the Sight Range dial at 400 yards if one had set Convergence at 200 yards.

And where in CoD do I set the convergence? Didn't find it neither in the FMB nor in the graphical interface.

Ah, Doolittle, that makes sense... I am still a bit confused about the settings, but try to keep the upper dial around 400 and the lower one at around 60 for bombers and 30 for fighters... I just made a new movie (my best and most dramatic so far, uploading now!) and the improvement in gun efficiency was palpable, so thanks Eklund!

don't forget you can download the RAF Gunnery manual Bag the Hun from Mission4Today/Guides and Tutorials/Gunnery section. It's RL so I don't know how COD's buggy sights measure up.

Great video - as always! Damn this game really is getting great now, think about it in a year or two when all the annoying bugs are gone... I just hope that MG survives that long!
