But in 1982, if a duffer like me could score 50.1% on air-to-air at Akrotiri and 52% on air-to-ground strafe in the UK, it wasn't too bad at all. No clever hot line sights or the like back then, just the LCOSS aided and abetted by radar range calls from the navigator.
OK, that is a remarkable score for a gun that was initially not considered as relevant for this type of combat aircraft!
