Aircraft gun staggering fire/spread

I find it pretty hard to believe the guns mounted on an aircraft fire perfectly in sync and ridiculously straight with 0 spread.

And honestly spread and staggering to the firing of aircraft weaponry would improve the performance and use.

The spread would make ground attacking way more plausible with a relative “cone” of fire for forward guns. And the staggering would balance out the lack of tracers in a previous update allowing the player to see where the bullet path is.

I’m not sure I get what you mean by “staggering”.

I think they want Gun harmonisation.

Explanation in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_harmonisation

That’s convergence, he talks about “staggering” as something that supposedly helps the pilot to see the path of bullets like tracers.

Maybe “Staggering” refer to the aircraft canons firing out of sync from each other.

well idk he mentiones the straight trajectory and lack of spread, no idea what he means with staggering but could mean gun harmonization.

Sounds like hes is talking about the guns firing at different intervals, Or tracers being in different order per belt, per gun.

And I cant decide if he just means convergeance, or wants the bullets to spray around a bit to cover an area.

Dumbing it down. More spread. Out of sync guns.

Mainly cause some planes just hit you with a literal wall of bullets.

But out of sync firing with more spread would just make dogfighting and ground attacking more interesting
