The "Dry Land Trout" manuver is allowable within the game parameters and it's does not generate the "Don't move your controls rapidly" message ... it frustrates the crap out of me, cause physically, one's eye would pop out of their heads if they did all those +/- G manuvers in rapid succession, but that is not modeled in Aces High ... but I don't get pissed about it.


Hehe. See, I told the other l`il dude we would get to this topic. :rofl :aok

i have noticed this alot, mostly against 190's. you get on their six and i guess they don't know how to force an overshoot or flat scissors so they just flop around trying to dodge your bullets. it is very very hard to get a kill with .50 cals when they are doing this because you can't hit them in the same spot for any length of time. definitely frustrating now that i fly the f4u almost exclusively. i think htc needs to either make the "don't move your controls so rapidly" more sensitive or they need to simulate eyes popping out of your skull for this noobishness to stop.

I then layed every round I had into him, bouncing rounds all over his craft, he wiggled like a funky chicken after eating mad cows walmart beef,
My comrades in arms joined in, and layed into him a punishing good 20-30 seconds of pure lead, he bobbed,weaved and rolled, unphased to his attackers pure wall of lead, not even giving us the recognition of at least puffing smoke, oil or gas!

Alas, we heard the calls of our fellows screaming that 3 EA were diving in to support him, as the need to kill this guy far exceeded our needs to survive.

Suffice to say, I died...parchuted out and watched somone finally take his wing off.

>I didn't even get an assist<

Previously, he was warping...seemingly JUST as you shot at him.

It's a game, and there is delay, but at 400 then 200 then almost on top of him, I poured into him like I've never before.  I'm think I'm ok with my shots, especially in these situations, definitely a favorite.

Oh well - ... So here's to you o wiggler of joystick, your ability to ride the fine line and know EXACTLY how to position your craft and wiggle your stick violently without the nifty system message warning.......

:)  Frustrating, but definitely worth the price of admission tonight! :)
