I was attacking the bish last night and we had a good furball going but still I saw not only newbs, but vets doing nothing but flying straight at people blazing guns. I was keeping my speed and dodging they're HO's and then pulling their 6 and killing them. What amazed me about it though, was the lack of any other type of attack. Ther was only two fellas that I saw that did anything different other than up the field fly level at the enemy and HO n pray, and that was N2DEEP, at least he gained alt and tried to cherry pick, and Ghi who gained a little alt in an la7 but ran when he lost it! For as much as this is a "flight" simulator, many never fully learn the "how", to successfully master the simulated aircraft we have available. They just fly at someone and start firing. This used to be considered a newb move but I see many "vets" doing this. Now the MA's are filled with two or three main types of players: 1. guys that will run, even if they have all the advantages, if they see that you know they are there. If they don't get an afk kill, they simplly will fly away......ie run dweebs 2. guys that just up the field and fly straight and level at the enemy firing at any plane that comes near their guns and never trying to set up their kill at all.......ie HO dweebs 3. guys that will only attack planes that are fighting other planes, and if they miss their shot they climb way back up above the fight to try again.......cherry pik dweebs. Now many would say that these are the ways they are having fun, and I don't disagree, yet I would say that they might have much more fun if they learned a little about how to fight in a simulated aircraft. Out of the 7 sorties I flew over there, I had close to 50 kills to only 5 deaths. Only one of my deaths came during a 1 vs 1 and that was when Ghi picked me while I talked on squad vox. The other times I lost it was at least 1 vs 3+ and up to 1 vs 6+. In other words, their tactics did not work, I killed them with ease, I dodged probably 50 HO attempts and usually would kill the HO attempter soon afterwards and got hit by a HO only once. In short, the HO and run tactics are just someone stating that they have yet to complete the course in acm!:aok
