When was the last time you flew? Was it AH1 days?

Because if it was, I have a rude awakening for ya :P



(I was gonna wait until you responded, but I'll finish it here)

AH1 "hit bubble" days are gone. You used to be able to hit consistently at 1k range, and even snipe at 1.2 with hispanos, but now you actually have to hit the plane and not the bubble. gunnery ranges are MAX 600 (800 if you're just freaking blind lucky!), 400 pushes it, and 200-300 is more realistic to expect hits.

Closer is better, naturally, but the way gunnery is handled has changed for the better since AH1 went away and AH2 came online.


If you knew that already, then ... er... well... maybe you're just rusty? :D

Welcome back Drex!

This Thursday evening, 9 PM Eastern, we are having our bi-weekly 3v1 training in the TA. There's usually 6 to 12 players involved, all MA regulars and Trainers. It's a good time and place to knock off the rust and get your shooting eye honed.

We meet at field A100, vox is 104.

My regards,

Widewing

I love replies like this  :D  Krusty, do a search on "DREX" on these boards, I might be a bit off, but DREX is a bit of a legend. Tho I don't think I'd be too far off  :)

I know he's an older hand, I just didn't know how LONG he'd been gone.

If he left before AH2, and is only just now getting in, he would expect to be able to aim and kill things at 800 yards with ease, you see?

If he left AFTER AH2, well he must merely be out of practice :D

800 yrds is still within my kill range, especially if I have 50cals! :aok

800 yards used to be "close range" in this game. Now it's the max range to expect any hits, and even if you hit (and yes I've hit with 50cals at that range often enough) chance are you won't get a killshot at that range.

I'm trying to put it as a general rule for him, in case he didn't know this. That's, again, only if he didn't know already.

The longest shot I have ever done that was a kill shot in my two plus years of flying in this game. is D400.... I tried to get better at long range shots. Pissed me off so I stick with the I get so close I can't miss.

I get 800 to 1000 yrd kill shots quite often.  But you'll find that most are too worried about their hit% to learn to kill at this range!:aok

I don't know who maha is, but I know he knows angles very well.  He is an excellent stick and a great fight.  Ask him to the DA, you won't be disappointed!  I had some great fights with him hog vs ki84 other day,  really good fighter!   maha
