View Setting and ACM

[Karaya One]

Oinks Brothers:

Im having a difficult time with my view settings. Seems im always loosing the bandit during a fight.

Depending on the plane, some of my head positions are "nose against the glass" and others are "full back."

Am I loosing any field of vision using these settings? I have experimented with many positions but im interested in hearing feedback.

Also, my energy management is in the toilet. Seems im constantly trying to T&B instead of using my E to dominate and pick an opprotunity. Any advice?

Thanks

It takes some time to learn tracking with the snapviews in AH.

But here a general guideline i use:

1. Ajust all views (except forward view) so that u have a maximun field of view. This normaly means for forward left/right head position very high and left/right, so u can along ur nose and over the wingedge. Ajust all view so that they do not very much in the zoomfactor.

2. train train train and train ur fingers to learn the fastest switch of views u can

Hey Karaya!

For E part of your post, I'd suggest you to fly only P-47 for a week or two then jump just any other plane (B-17 goes too) and you doesn't seem to bleed E at all no matter how hard you maneuver.Try it

I did an article on the view system here:

However, I suspect you have most of that covered.  Like the others, I adjust each view for the best field of vision.  Once you have your views set, practice looping and rolling around the drones offline and tracking them.  That will help.

As for energy management, it's good advice to fly a plane that REQUIRES good e management if you want to get better at it.  The Jug is certainly a good choice.  Your other option is to fly a plane that accelerates very well and can pull your bellybutton out of the fire when you burn too much E.  For this, the N1k2 certainly fits the bill.
