It only sucks for furballers, who have a hard time finding them because turning is not really a factor anymore.



Skill is and always be the dominating factor in a dogfight.  One day you will realize that but I feel you're going to be in for a long wait.

LOL Nobody is reading from the same book.
"Fun" Gameplay is whatever is fun for you.
And this could be any one of a bunch of different things.
For me its whatever Im in the mood for at a given time.

As long as sides are more or less in the same ball park as to numbers I am pretty happy.   I think I see a lot more turn fighting, I especially get killed by the scissors move a lot more in AH2 (something I know I need a lot of work on).   In this regard I think the gameplay has improved.

BULLSEYE! Right on the mark
Give that man a Cigar...or a doobie. whichever he prefers :aok

BTW anyone that ups from a base under attack and gets vulched  more then once is a sucker.
Anyone who keeps upping from a base and keeps getting vulched over and over and over is an idiot.:)

What am I missing here?  Where does it say 2 sectors?  Where you the one chasing that 51?  If we are talking about the same example, the guy was running injured from 4 cons.  I think instead of giving one of the chacers the easy kill, he was looking for a chance to turn and at list fight before he dies.

Sounds like me, except that I didn't fly the last few days. A G-10 should have the edge on the deck against a P-51b, it can drag the E right out it. If I want to land a few kills and I don't want to fight I run, easy as that. He prolly expected you to give up when you got low on fuel. Still you got a nice fight out of it.

The last time I upped a G-10 by the way I ran into you in a G-10. That was a GOOD fight, best I had in a while. Had to play all the tricks and push all the buttons on that. Pinged you with mg's but had to break when a P-51 newbie crashed the party. Still got the kill, dunno what happened to you, but anyway.

SlapShot,  I think you are talking about a different post.  My comment was not about the 51 vs 109 example.  :confused:

I like to drop and run when some 1 tries to get me head on.. But nly till there like 2k behind Then you can turn and get em works a treat with ppl who dont have any sence.

but i dont understand why people would keep on runing after you get 2.5k Max distance between you and the hostile.

Why would you drop and run ?

%99.9 of the time, after avoiding the HO, I will reverse the con immediately and if they decide to blow thru I am on their 6.

If they don't decide to blow thru, they are usually dead within another turn.

I cant understand their thinking, personally i find fighting and winning at a disadvantage far more fun and satisfying than bore n zoom/cherrypicking.


Ummmm please dont freekin mix all of us into one bag.

I still consider my self new to the game 3-4 weeks of game play and I dont BnZ. First of all Boooore N Zzzzzz is not only booring to fight against but its the most booring tactic to fly as well.

Also it doesnt help me become a better pilot. It doesnt help me to learn to fly the plane Im learning. Im still learning my first plane but I will sequencially learn more and more planes. If a plane is a BnZ plane I will do BnZ in it BUT NOT exclusivly. I will learn it so that I can fly much less predictable and squzee every single drop of manouvering out of it.

But most likely the BnZ planes will be the last ones I step into.

Currently in my Yak I do Zoom out of the battle when comming in from high alt. But its not because Im BnZing but rather because Ive due to lack of skill miss timed my approach and I anything else then Zooming out would make me bleed too much E. If I dont miss time it I do get my target, from there I sweap right in on the next target. If I get a break I build up some E, but still I dont BnZ and will never do so unless its a plane that REALLY requires it.

I fly BnZ alot...  But lately I've been in a 109, and have seen the other side of the lake...  MAN, I sure hope I don't fly my 190 like many of the people I run into!

Anyway, if you "push it" on the BnZ (ie, loop over quicker, don't get every last drop of E from your zoom), it can really make things interesting.  I'll tell you one thing, if your aim isn't good, you won't last long doing it.  Unfortunately, mine is not :cool:

If you run into a few BnZ pilots who know how to push it effectively, fighting against a BnZ is ANYTHING but boring ;)
