Hi dudez..

I was wondering how can you improve your accuracy when shooting weapons like pbc's?

PBCs auto-aim if you get the enemy in their firing arc, so the first thing to do is to keep your enemy in your sights.

Get behind the enemy, as it makes it easier for the PBCs to aim, plus you have the advantage of shooting at the ships unshielded rear.

I know that but I always shoot at crafts when I've got them locked so that the 4 triangles don't turn anymore but when I look at my statistics it says for example shoot accuracy 47%...!
Thanks anyway!

Thats because there moving, so not all shots hit, plus when your finishing them off, often the last few shots go through. Plus, if your shooting at something that you didnt target, i think it counts as a missed shot. Not sure though, but in any event, dont worry about your accuracy, just wether you killed the SOB or not.

If accuracy's a big deal for you, make sure you're not using the DAT (I don't know if it counts toward the percentage, but I do know it misses a lot), and use recoil-damped PBCs almost exclusively (their 'no_jitter' property makes them more accurate).

[edit]One more thing: there are also CPU programs you can use. The military tracker reduces jitter on all cannon, and the imaging module, I believe, increases accuracy while it's zoomed in.[/edit]
