Hi Flyboyj,

>I think the folks I have met as well as Sok based their comments on longer ranges than 400 yards. As stated, 400 yards is pretty close in the air.

Ah, I think I've got it now - for lack of combat experience, these pilots expected to routinely shoot at longer distances than those the old hands like Blesse considered realistic, and so they were worried about the long-range performance of their cannon. Sounds about right? :-)

Regards,

Henning (HoHun)
