When you said "On my upwards lead turn, I may have given up some E, but I transferred it to ALT " you should have said; On my upwards lead turn, I may have given up some SPEED, but I transferred it to ALT.

No biggie but I see this on the boards all the time where the words Speed and E are interchangable. They aren't. I've explained this in the Help Forums before too and it was enlighting to see how many thought E was simply speed and then see the lightbulbs going on in their responses as they got it.

As far as the 30 seconds go, that would have been the case anyway with you right? HO or not, you most likely would have killed him in less than 30 seconds

I would think that the amount pull on the stick transferring kinetic to potential does determine the amount of potential ... but I have alt ABOVE (or at least thats what I want to achieve) my target.

30 seconds seems to be reasonable ... I will die within that time period or the other guy will ... longer than that is what I hope for for every dogfighting engagment.

Your right ... I should have said I gave up kinetic energy for potential energy.

Cya there!

I must be playing in there at the wrong times. The last couple of months when I've entered the MW, there was not one single fight going on. Everyone was in extreme ends of the maps milk running.

ack-ack

LOL ... Toad and I will take off from a base/CV with rockets and he will announce over CH 200 ... "Hey Slappy, did u bring rockets or eggs for Axx town ?" ... then I will respond ... "oops !!!"

Once Axx starts blinking, we usually will get some lifters ... if not, we will then start dumping rockets on the town and then they start coming out like bees out of the hive.

Best to do this with a CV nearby so you can keep coming back at them and they keep coming out.

Slap and I are the UberAwesumness at base taking in MW and EW.

We are unstoppable! We are BaseBorgs!

If only I could stop accidentally announcing which base we are taking on CH 200, we would roll up an entire map in 1 hour!

You guys reminded me of a funny story. Remember Outkast? Back in AH1 he deacked a field and waited for some uppers to vulch. Since no one was taking off, he put something simillar on 200. So, I rolled out of the FH and watched his 51 dive in for the vulch. Problem was that he was too high and I had time to pull gear up

I rolled, he missed, I fired

ohhhhhhh 200 was so beautiffull after that. He put SkyRock to shame
