What tricks have you used for aligning the guns and gunsights, or for verifying that your math is correct if you just calculated it?

If you want to use OPS then you can use the gun convergence function. It will align specified guns to a convergence point at a specified distance, and also allow you to make adjustments to the gunners viewpoint (which defines where the convergence point ends up) so that you can get the guns to fire into the centre of the sights.

If you need help with it let me know.

Hmm. Thanks for the offer. The functionality sounds nice, but how do I use it? I seem to need your help. I can see the menu item, but it's always greyed out. What do I need to do to be able to use the function?

The trick is that you must have a model that has a gunlist defined selected for the button to be enabled. It will use this gun list to display a set of guns to converge, and also assume that the gunners viewpoint is also this model. If it isn't then you can just select another one.
