I still don't get it. I can pick wings off at 2-3K with an osti but I so totally suck in the wirby.

I understand what you are sayin brotha...
But when there is a PACK of hungry redguys
and 1 or 2 flaks, hangars are down, wirby evens
the odds, somewhat... If they are any good, they
pull a one/two punch on ya... One draws fire, other
bombs ya, or straffes your guns down...

1v1, you have a point... But how often is it 1v1????

I still use osti sometimes...
It seems to be a matter of familiarity for me...

I can't jump from one to the other, if I do, I
hit NOTHING in either one...

My mind takes awile to get the drop,
lead, and range to target down...

Ballistics are very different between the two...

So generally, I stick to one or the other..

But I like them both, no doubt...

Depends, they lose the point of Tank Town now though. Idiots now will gain their kills by sitting at their base and try to get kills in the WW. There's people who can hit you from 1k out easily in a WW.

So the point of tank town was to gain rank?

I still prefer the Osti.  It's much better at "reaching out and touching someone".   :t
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Remember the m16?


Don't see it anymore.  :(

I honestly only pull out the M16 when I absolutely positively have to get to a town or a field for defense in a hurry.  Still a fun vehicle!

No, but if they were to put up Ozkansas tommorow, and you spawned out to the nearest base close to action (GV base) you'll see 10 people on the field in WWs...

Kinda sad honestly. I usualy dont pay attention to it, but sometimes, there are some wirbelwind 'experts' who'll get me from 1k out no sweat.

It is especially fun to break a jabo into small pieces because they assume you are a WW and get too close.

When I see an Osti out it's a sign of relief that I might actually have a fighting chance at living. I really, really think the Wirble needs to be perked. Sure it's easy to turret it, and people say to work in teams to do it, but what if theres 10 wirbles out, and 1 of you. Might as well just fly home and take what you have.

Edit: I also hate flying over TT now, you get in a good fight once in a while and end up getting raped by a wirble.

 I am just the opposite cant hit nothing in an osti. But get within 1.5 of my WW and your gonna get hit. Specially tracking shots. I like to sit off the side runway and when the vulchers come flying down the runway boom!

to some degree i feel it should be perked, just because of the lethality if you hit with it consistently, but its turret goes so easily that it shouldnt be perked. but with the 4 20's anything is that lethal, i agree about your post anaxo

It's so impossibly large it really hinders the gunners' movement. :p
