Cavalear a question for you.
« on: April 07, 2005, 10:23:39 AM »
Hey Cavalear Im wondering.

Ive been reading alot about planes flopping around when on the defensive. Yesterday when you where on me when I was burning, did I flip flop?

I went mad agressive on my evasive manouvers pulling all the cards I could find to shake you and the 2 F6Fs. What I was trying to do was combine barrel rolls with snap rolls, inorder to force the 3 of you to overshoot. I didnt try to stick stire and I hate pulling lame stuff. I just want to know if my manouvering did look flip flopy stick stire on your screen.

That way I will know in the future what to avoid doing.

Tex.

all snap stalls look like the "floppy fish" to most everyone, the net code can't update the planes position that fast.
I don't know what to put here yet.

No you looked fine to me, in fact your fiery meteor impersonation ranked a 9.5 whereas Engines lacking a wing spiral death scene whilst artistic only deserves a  7.6 :D

I fought Cavalear, not Cavalier. Unless you were one of the other 5 guys on me. :)

You don't have to flip flop, just wait 2-3 seconds for the fighter on yr six to get a firing solution, then dip slightly, wait 3 seconds, roll slightly left then right, keep your speed up and 95% of people will miss you every time.

It takes a couple of seconds for someone to line up all you have to do is move slightly just before he fires and he'll miss.

Engine it was me, different spelling in name on BBS is all.
If i could drop the 214th bit and correct the spelling i would but not possible apparently.

Lol last night was the first time i saw the "other" Cavalier online, nearly had a baby when i checked the wrong stats thinking they were mine :)

Good, don't want someone else taking credit for your -1 hog flying. :)
