I had the privilege to witness an extremely well played E fighting scenario last night. I will withold names to protect the innocent and embarrassed.
The adversary came over our base in a C2. We were numerous as green cons filled the sky. The C2 came in only about 2k above our highest friendly con. He started at the top and worked his way down. Every time someone tried to engage them, he very quickly dispatched them to the tower. After getting shot down multiple times, I stayed in my chute to watch him.
What I saw was a ballet in air combat. The C2 employed smooth, E saving techniques combined with well placed shots. His ability to judge his opponent's E state allowed him to be just outside of guns range while he slowly bled away everyone's E. He then swooped down and made a quick kill only to ascend again his perch, ready for another engagement. His maneuvers were so clean and smooth, they were almost rythmatic. I could almost time a symphony to his movements of loops and rolls.
I texted this player asking for tips and help and he referred me to WideWing and Rolex. I will take him up on his tip and seek these guys out in the TA.
I once read that you can beat a good angles and BnZ fighter but when faced with a real good E fighter, your chances of surviving are slim. That was demonstrated last night.
When it was all said and done, this guy killed and landed 8 victories without sustaining a single ping (from what I could see).
to the player (you know who you are).
