DieHard Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) How is this adjustment useful? How do I apply this using the guns and aiming reticule? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I did a search to this forum, using the query, "EZ 42" without quotes, and "Show Threads" selected; 13 thread topics resulted. I selected: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=128187&highlight=EZ+42 I also found IvanK's (.pdf) source in Message 10 http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/e/EZ42%20Handbuch.pdf Have not found an online translator for this .pdf , German text to English. from my own search: http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6514 from here: https://www.google.com/search?q=ez42+operators+manual&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=ez42+operators+manual&start=10 Also see Message #46 of this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=128295&page=5 And Message #53, of this same thread, is the only practical test I fave found on the DCS forums (so far) explaining how to use the EZ 42 Gunsight Adjustment Unit in a combat setting. But I am missing the specifics how-to, exactly how this is done using the graph of numbers other than trial and error. Now, I have found using the Fw-190's reticule sight to be really very effective killing a P-51 (human player, not AI) at about 200 meters, nicely placed in the circle, and about a ten round burst does quite nicely with an aft shot, but I did not pre-set the EZ 42 Gunsight Adjustment Unit, it was at its default setting.

IronJockel Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 If i understood the text correctly you have to set the numbers in the table to the altitude you currently flying. It doesn't make much of a difference as far as i know. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavagai Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think you'll have better results with the EZ42 as a fixed gunsight. There is not enough visibility over the nose for gyro compensation to be useful (like it is in the P-51), and the lack of a bore sight reference point is too great a cost.

fastfreddie Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Agreed. Love the fixed sights for deflection shots but the gyro for level or shallow dives on targets. Unfortunately I don't think the gyro adjustments are currently working or make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
