anyone wanna learn acm's
« on: July 22, 2004, 02:24:31 PM »
I was just thinking. The so called "elite" pilots of AH2 seem to be on a different level than the rest of us. I would like to see squads taking turns in the training arena teaching some of the younger guys some moves. I know it would be a pain in the arse listening to the inane questions but IMO its a great way to start getting to a higher level of gameplay in the MA. Cause it kinda sux right now. You all can admit it. Even the squads that have great sticks and wing well together have to get bored of slaughtering these newbs...well maybe not....but something has to be done. Im going to make an effort to train some folks...some others care to step up? Would love to shedule an open class for the acm challenged.

Heh, an easy start is to maybe point out to the newbs what
not to do to make themselves recognized as easy prey.  Im sure
you vets can spot a newb flier within seconds just by what actions
they are making.  Don't need a name icon to spot them out easy I'm sure.

I can (or I could when I flew) tell if someone was a dwee...er, newbie by a couple of things: 1) flying over 25K in a fighter, but never engaging anyone; 2) If they were killed more than once taking off from the same capped field. Oh, and 3) the dwee...er newbies always try to HO ya because to them that's the easiest way to engage in combat. The thought of actually employing ACM to merge hasn't occurred to them, yet.

Wether or not they know anything is not the point, Steve. They are trying to give something back to the game they enjoy and you attempt to flame them.

Real classy of you.

Blowing past the merge running and screaming in fright does not equate knowing ACM.



I'm more than willing to help players learn ACM or the finer points of the P-38 but my work hours kind of make it hard.

Using ACM is CHEATING! :mad:   It's almost as bad as using the SKILL CHEAT! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I thought ACM was outlawed when AH1 started.

I just love the ones spraying away at D2k, its like spotting a free kill.

Steve, jaxxo just stayed at a holiday inn express, he knows what he is talking about :)
