This is simply a list of the resources I have come across that have helped me get a bit better at WWII flight sim dogfighting. Although they are for different games (or real-life) they are useful resources for WWII dogfighting and understanding gun convergence and how the sights work and how to use them accurately.
Documents:
Target Range and Gun Convergence
Bag the Hun – (RAF Gunnery Manual)
Schiessfibel – Similar to Bag the Hun
WWII Air Combat – A quick guide to common WWII dogfighting maneuvers
In Pursuit – A Pilots Guide to Air Combat
Boom and Zoom Tactics
IL-2 Series: Fundamentals of Gunnery
Training Videos:
Gunnery Training Video – Bag the Hun
Various training videos, I recommend: “Using the gun sight to determine range”
Some advanced reference stuff:
Air Navigation – Army Air Force Training Manual
Instrument Flying 1 Basic (without Radio Aids)
Instrument Flying 2 Advanced (with Radio Aids)
Instrument Flying 3 Army Air Forces Instrument Approach System
Pilots’ Information File
Spin Recovery Quick Guide
Engine Cheat Sheet
