1st almost-kill

Haha, we all have been at that stage, and sometimes I'm still there...

But how could you not pull out from a dive from that high?

Congrats on your almost-kill!

Greetings,

  Once you compress (i.e. no matter what you do the nose ain't coming up).  As stated earlier, pull the throttle all the way back.  This gives you longer to scream into the ground as only gravity is now pulling you down.  You will note that you still aren't slowing down.  Next use the manual trim up keys to pull the nose up.  Once the nose is up and you have regained control, auto climb or level to reinstate auto trim.

  Just 'A Way' to get out of it - and often I wait to long to start and still hit the ground....

Regards,

You can go to the Training Arena and pick up a few tips from some of the Trainers.

It'll work wonders.

I nosed over and went screaming down, guns blazing on the lead ship, scoring several hits before slicing through the formation (somehow without colliding).

They probably had a good laugh when I couldn't pull out of the dive and "noobed it" into the drink.

I'm in serious trouble. This game almost gives me a woody.

You reminded me of an F4U-4 flight not to long ago. I was escroting some B-17's at 20 K and had no luck getting a kill because the only thing that came up to play with us was a 262 or 2 that kept running away.  

 On the return trip I was making coments on the speed of my 4 hog when what do I see but 2 red guys fighting a single green at about 15 K or so. I roll over and dive in choping throttle but not really taking into account the speed I had already picked up.   I dove in and continued right on through the fight, my controlls having locked up.  My F4U-4 went screaming and creaking into the water at 500+ Mph but held togeather the entire way down lol.. :rofl

  I just had to laugh at myself on that one. :D

Well I started out pretty high, but once I got down to them I wasn't so high anymore, and had a huge amount of speed and energy built up. Like Trax and MWL said compression might have occurred, that and the fact that I really don't know what the hell I'm doing yet would probably explain it.

I'm going to go ahead and pay for a subscription now that my 2 weeks are up and will put all you guy's tips and advice into practice.

Thanks to all.
Jim

Dont worry bud, we all do that! I still try to get D200 out in my spit 1, coming in at a severe angle against an M3 :rofl  Did that about 10 times last night HAHAHA!

I well remember my first kill, Id been playing for a while, about 2 months and I was starting to get depressed caus I couldn't hit anything in my Spit 1. Well, bumped into a mate in a B24 and he asked me if I wantde to go on a bombing trip. So off we went. On the return trip at 15K Niki sloooooowly comes up behind me, dead six. Well, I fire and I fire and I firer some more. Eventually he just peels off and spins! I didnt believe I'd actually killed him! As it was I crashed the 24 on landing! Such is life!

Welcome to Aces High and always remember if you go into a dive, you may want to check if the water is solid again. I still do :aok

Well I'll be damned if I didn't get my first actual.

Me and a la7? were pursuing a spitfire, I broke off a couple of times so as not to steal his kill when it looked like he had position. When I banked around a third time I found myself on the guys 8 o-clock, dropped in on his 6 and took the shot with cannons.

Hope the la7 guy isn't pissed, I tried to give him 1st crack.

Checked my stats and 3 kills listed, How is that?

Did I land some shots on someone else and disengage before I saw them go down?

jim,

Go to the training forum and ask for advice there or log into the training arena.  There are some very fine gents who donate lots of time to helping new guys over the hump.
