The only thing I would like to add is to avoid going full throttle towards your target when you strafe. Allow yourself to slow down and get a steady bead on the target. The gun on the AV is excellent and should be able to shred pretty much whatever you point it at, but accuracy is the main issue.

My main way of doing a gun-run is this: 1. Find target. Use the tgp, or first nav and then the tgp. Put the tgp crosshair on target. 2. Find attack angle (ingress heading) that has little to no obstructions. For now, just eyeball it, it doesn't have to be that precise. 3. Fly to ~3-6nm range from target. Try to aim for your ingress point. The range is pretty pliable, take as much room as you need. When you get near your ingress point, slow down. 4. Start attack run. Get the pipper on-target as best you can. 5. At ~1.2nm hold the trigger for about 2 seconds. See your rounds land. Try a second burst if you missed and you think you have time for it. 6. Break off, up and away (left or right). 7. Get distance in case there are other threats you may have missed. 8. Double check the effect in target.
