Fun Film From a Bad Player
« on: January 22, 2008, 06:28:41 PM »
Look, I'm not one of the game's "tour winners"...

In a nutshell, I'm a vet pilot that is at best, a marginal player...(nice way of saying I SuKK).

But I can put a decent film together, with a HUGE PROPS to yanksfan, who with a "help the helpless film making noob make a film" phone call, donated some time and guidance to help me put together my first AH film.

Thank you yanksfan, and enjoy with my comliments.

(NOTICE:  I only flew the LA7 ONCE.....the rest are REAL pilot rides.)

It's 5 minutes long....make sure you have sound up.

Your mileage may vary, member FDIC, don't try this with your truck, filmed with a stunt driver on a stunt track, fix your ARM mortgage, may cause vomiting, dizziness, or rectal seapage, read the prospectus before investing, do not drink to excess with this medication, I submit this thread with all humblness and realize that I sukk at this game bigtime, Amen.

There were only 2 boxes of buffs in the film where the driver seemed to be "asleep at the wheel", but you can see from the other sets that I am under fire.

It's easier to see in pilot mode than external view that I'm being shot at.

Nice soundtrack. Quite some distances your shooting at, but assuming closer then it looks on film.

Must say, I'm a Van Halen fan and have met the band (I did rock radio for 25 years)--hence the name "ROX" = ROCKS, but I chose the soundtrack for timing over anything else.

Against regular furballing mindset, I buff-hunt with the convergiance out to 650 with all guns out that far.

I'm usually buff-hunting in Fw190-D9 or Jug P47-40's (as seen in the film) and I concentrate the left drone first and work my way right.  I open up at just under 1000, and let her rip.

While the buff hunter purists will say NEVER take the 6 O'clock shot on a buff, I find it to be one of the best shots (with film to prove it) IF and only IF you are coming in hotter than heck.  400-500 KIAS at the least.

I also LOVE to do the HI-down looking merge shot on buffs...but DO NOT HO them.

One secret is to NEVER take the 6 O'clock on a buff if you are less than 400 kias.  It's suicide.  If you are coming in hot, make your shot.  If you are not, do your funky 3 and 9 O'clock shots, or grab alt and take your time.  

Most buff drivers PRAY you are coming in low & slow.....easy kills for them.

I also RARELY take up a perked ride to buff-hunt...as I rarely get to land it.

:) :rolleyes: :aok

Good Luck to all and thank you for watching!
