N1k Convergence

[Furball]

No, A8Tool has a point.  N1K's land more lucky HO shots on me than other aircraft for the exact reason that a lot of the good sticks are using the rigged forward view for near-180-degree deflection shots.  Normal HO-avoidance tactics just don't work as well against an aircraft that can see you when all others would be shooting blind over their cowl.   To be specific, these shots are from very close range and on the aft section of my aircraft.  Now, I don't have a problem with someone raising their view over the normal gunsight view, but using the mouse as an aiming point is another matter.  Think about it.  While you could easily put a dot on your computer monitor to have the same effect, the same would not work in a real aircraft.  You could not put a dot on the canopy of an aircraft and, voila, just like that, have a second gunsight.  It might provide you with some frame of reference, but it would be a crude instrument, and would not match the effectiveness of a real gunsight the way the mouse does in AH.

In the meantime, I am learning to avoid N1K HO's differently than others.  It requires a different technique, no doubt, but it ought not to be possible to rig a second gunsight like that.  An easy fix would be for the mouse to vanish after you press "h" or leave it in place for 10 seconds.

 

You wanna really cry some more? You should see how good the nose over view is on the Mossie

Beware of the super lock on mousepointer sight!!!  Able to hit '180 degree' HO shots

Translation: furball can't match gavagai's argument.

Yeah, maybe I shoulda called it zero degrees?   Anyway, you know what I meant.  You're resorting to the horse-laugh because you have nothing else.

Actually, I feel that I have made my point and do not feel your ridiculous post warrants a serious response.

No different that putting a greasepencil, sharpie, or black spot on your monitor.

The worst that can be said about it, is that your "gaming the game" Taking what the game gives you, and learning to use it to your advantage. And isn't that why we are all here?

This is the post that I care about here, from the top AH trainer in the game IMO.  You clearly have a lot to learn about AH if you were unaware of the nose over view.

You had no problem with it until Engine said "cheater! cheater!"...  Engine is a friend and was joking.

Cheater!

It's slightly gamey, but on the same level as augering when I'm bored and want to get to a good fight faster.
