Author Topic: Importance of SA (film) (Read 428 times)

About 4-5 minutes of fighting showing the importance of SA (situational awareness).

There is a great saying "If you lose sight you lose the fight" and it's so very true. You often get killed by the guy you don't see and end up whining about getting cherry picked off someones 6.

Hopefully the film will give ya some inspiration to learning how to check views quickly and get a grasp of what is there, how far and wether that thing is to or away from you.

The fight is a 4 vs 1 fight and then goes into a 3 vs 1 as one of the enemies are tied up with a high friendly.

Suggest you view it either with the recorded views or from the outside in F5 view + trails on in order to see the maneuvers better.

Wow! That's some nice flyen Wil. Question: what view mode were you using? Seemed too slow for snap and too fast for pan.

Nice film Wil!
Excellent flying and SA there.

Max: The film viewer uses your game settings by default. Otherwise you can switch view mode in the viewer same as in game with F7, F8 or F9.

Using instant view most of the time these days. Used to use snap before but I've found that instant gives me a quicker way to scan the sky.

Instant = F9 view.

Thanks for the "heads-up" Schatzi...I never knew that.

Roger on the instant views, Wil
