Please keep in mind that this is a translation from a guide. There may have been
changes and adjustments to the Anti-Aircraft Artillery that would influence the changes
in Golden Angle.

Alright, after further testing I think I can say fairly confidently that all the guns on this
list I have tested are listed incorrectly. The problem seems to stem from a
misunderstanding of what the "golden angle" is on trainworld, and is a little difficult
to explain given how goofy the NF physics system is, but basically it breaks down like
this.

Instead of calculating hits at a given range based on angle, what you should be
looking at is the angle at which the shell stays at the top of its parabolic arc for the
longest. Shells in NF don't behave in terms of real world physics in terms of sticking
to an actual parabola, but instead usually sort of flatten out at the top of it, and
when this flat area corresponds to height of default planes is where you should have
your guns defaulted to. As others have correctly stated, its really generally a
"guideline" more then a rule, and you should be adjusting based on distance and
plane height rather then just spamming at the golden angle, but long story short you
can safely add at least 1 degree (sometimes 2) to basically all of these numbers to
get an angle that is closer to the trainworld ones.

I realize you don't have any reason to believe some random forum dude, but for
what its worth I am a returning beta player and have spent probably 60% of the
games I have been back flacking with various nations (US and KM mostly).

Worth noting that from what I have found so far, a lot of these seem to be a little low
(it could be because my gunners are currently low level). If you are having trouble
hitting planes though, try adding 1-2 degrees to a few of these.

Edit: Yeah I'm currently on the Minizinis and they are clearly 35, if not 36.

Leave it to my buddy PlanZ to post this lol

There are no machine gunners for SN, they have been disabled.

Normal gunners also use AA guns.

do these require regular gunners or the machine gunners?

Monday March 07, 2011 - Minor spelling corrections and revisions. Added correct
weapon names and designations.

Tuesday March 08, 2011 - Note about Soviet Gunners classing for AA. Minor
grammatical
fixes and revisions regarding the Gunners. Also slightly revised format for Gunners to
make it more eye catching.

Wednesday March 09, 2011 - Minor formatting changes. Simply added dashed lines.

Tuesday March 15,2011 - Minor additions and changes to Golden Angles as
information
supplied by the community becomes available. # indicates revised Golden Angles.

Wednesday March 16,2011 - 5.1"/45 SD-2 - Angle of 30 #31-32# became 5.1"/45
SD-2 - Angle of 30 #32#. 3.9"/50 "Minizini" (Tashkent?) - Angle of 34 #35-36#
became 3.9"/50 "Minizini" (Tashkent?) - Angle of 34 #36#

*****************************************************************
NOTE: In order to use Soviet AA you must class the gunners in the same fashion as
you would with regular gunners. That means you will have two pairs of Chief
Gunners. The first pair will operate the Main Guns , the second pair will operate the
DP/AA Guns. This is exactly the same way to class it in regards to the Marine
Nationale.

NOTE:
These angles were derived from a 2/3 distance of the circle of envelopment.
Golden angles can vary by either 1-2 degrees from the figures presented.
