I agree, you have to have a feel for where your guns shoot in any given ride. Otherwise, no telling where you'll be shooting, TIR or not.

I have the feel for my rides so my 1st shots either hit or come very close. I don't walk tracers onto a target from far away, but I do use them to "aim" as in verifying where I'm shooting.

That said, TIR makes it MUCH easer to do all this. If you're looking through the sight, you can't see under your nose at all so deflection shooting in a turn is pure guesswork. If you're in a limited-ammo Noop, you might not even take such a shot. But with TIR, you can see the target so no problem.

Also, in the normal furball shots, putting the target above your nose with TIR gets it above the muzzle flashes, so you can actually see your tracers and the hit graphics for a change.
