"Game" tips

[x0847Marine]

I heard this tip last week, tried it... thought it a bit gamy & went back to listening to music rather than the game.

But I wanted to share...

Turn your engine sound way down... through my 7.1 speakers I could hear any near-by E and the direction from which they came long before I was in danger.

I started laughing "So this is how they do it", I can only imagine the other creative things you sneaky AH'ers have come up with.

Hmm..good tip..my thumb does get a bit tired checking view every 3 seconds;-)

Just make sure you have your speakers set up correctly (Left and Right) and not reverse. Makes for a bad day especially in Ground Vehicles.

Haha, that one kills me too Marine.  You can always tell the guys that do it, and they are sadly the same ones who game the game for score, fly in the horde, run from 1 on 1's, ect.

I heard about this player that likes to bail out if you get on his six.

heh, couple of weeks ago silat and i were patrolling the skies of AH, and everyone we came across bailed out...we were at a range of about 3-4k. a couple of sets of bombers, 1-2 spits...about the only kill to be had was a 110 that was afk....not 30 seconds after he got shot down he is on ch.200 "hey, who shot me down?"

some days you just have to wonder.

I turn down my engine sound, but only cuz the 109 is fluff'n loud on WEP and it interferes with my music

Why stop at just turning the engine sound way down low, why not go all out and setup a second account and mount a monitor with a perminent 6 view on your desk.

Was Silat flying naked, per chance?

You ain't gonna beleive this one but I swaer it's true.  One guy told me that if you hold the # 2 down and down arrow then press Page Up then press F10 you can actually see behind and over the head plate.

He told me you can actually do that in every view in the plane.  Apparently the gamey gamster recons that F10 freezes that view for ever.  

Would you believe this guys way of gaming it.  He also said that some joysticks have a thing called a hat switch and he just toggles all them gamey views he's set up....shhheesshhh what some people do

TRACK IR.......now thats the way to go on your views!!!!!:aok

I figured out that bombers will release their payload, despite negative G forces or plane attitude, and use this to carpet bomb the hell out of Tank Town.

In contrast, I have my engine sound set to be just about deafening. You don't really get hurt, why fly around like a ***** with your sound turned down? So you can let out a little shriek and avoid getting jumped because you lack any useful SA? A little immersion makes for an improved gaming experience, IMO.
