The mouse players? Well, I guess there has to be a few of them laying around... You would think that the people who are even remotely interested in this game would already have a joystick.

Yeah, ive always wanted to make it so you have to take a phyiscal before you fly, so each person blacks out at a natural point.

Wait until you come across my boy Kazaa he will show you how remotely interested his mouse is in tearing your plane into little pieces....

I don't get it myself but when someone practices and gets good at using it he can pull moves out of his arse.

The stick stirrers are not as hard to kill as you first think. Instead of trying to bring your pipper on target.. saddle up(easily done) and wait for them to jink into your pipper.. they always do. It's the only time I really taunt someone: "Stick stirring DENIED, (offending party name) is dead!"

Wasn't the stick stirring slap on the wrist of "Don't move your stick so fast" dumbed down ALLOT over time? Seem's to me it has... I haven't seen that message in years. IMHO, a LOT of AH'rs these days could do with a healthy dose of it.

Also... go back and check films of yourself and see if you don't stick-stir without knowing you've done it. I wouldn't have thought I did, but after watching some films, I pulled a few manuevers that would have had me screamin STICK STIRRER at the other guy, had no idea. So I'm a little more cognizant of it while flying now. Just doing my part to keep my contribution of crap out of the game.

I think We are miss-interpretting what wstpt10 origionaly was trying to describe. I think he is still flying with his stall limiter on and doesnt know what a stall is. As we all know, when we close on an enemy and its time for the guns to do the talking, the last thing they can do is pull back on that stick as hard as possible and do a snap roll stall. The only way to deal with this is with gunnery experience.

or simply slowing down and waiting for them to finish snap rolling only 20 yrds closer to you then they started

throttle work is the number 1 thing most people forget at the vital moments.

I got the message when my A20 went into a violent shudder in a 400+ mph dive. I wasn't doing anything with the stick except trying to smoothly pull out before terra firma. I made it, the guy on my 6 said he could not believe it, then proceeded to shoot me down, but I got my bombs off at least

No need to stik stir when you hover above a fight and wait for a plane to engage someone else to cherry them! The Timid Tumor!:aok

No, I took the stall limiter off after my first day. I know what a stall is, it is when the airfoil is not generating sufficient lift. I'm new to the game, but not new to air combat sims like this one, so what I just need to learn now is this specifics of this flight model.

These aren't stall manuvers. They are 'oh crap, this guy is behind me and his plane is faster! I'll flop around like a fish out of water so he can't hit me!'. Hopefully, this is often followed by the sudden realization of said flopper that a plane tends to fly better with two wings, rather than just one.
