So there IS a mass disinformation campaign?  :noid


Not only you can break all those rules, but in order to be "good" you must break them.  You must be able to surprise your opponent with the unexpected, trick him, beat him mentally,  before ACM will do anything for you.  I play this game 3 or 4 days a week.  The guys I fight that perform basic ACMs out of the book die after the first turn.  Not because I am good, know my plane, or anything that would indicate skill.  Because they are predictable.  I know where they will be after following an ACM rule out of the book, and I make sure my guns point there.

So really, I think you should stop giving advice or talk about how to be successful in this game until you actually figure it out yourself also.  BnZ , is the most predictable thing you could do.  The reason Bat could hit the impossible shots is because they were predictable.  He knew where to point his guns at.  Dos not always work, but hey, I miss AFK people from dead 6 at D200 also.

I only watched the first video. I never knew a 109 could do that  :eek: I guess throttle control is a real good skill to learn. <S>

S! Joe, yes very much of it is to do with subtle throttle work.

BnZ lol :)  not so much disinformation, more one set of rules that was applicable to real life risk of death and another that can be applied to virtual life no risk of death.

It's important that you get shot down. In fact it is absoultely a crucial element to the very "sweetness" you mention. I'm not looking for an argument so please take a second to consider the following before you answer: If you NEVER lost, NEVER got shot down, what sweetness would victory hold?  Winning every time would quickly lose its joy.

This is why i fly with my left hand. :D

Bat: Roger. Bear with me, I have unreformed grognard tendencies and a bizarre desire to see stuff I've read about the real Aces doing working.

Another hobby of mine, which I am ashamed to say I have been neglecting, is learning to handle a two-handed sword EXACTLY the way Liechtenauer taught in 14th century...from such perverse things do I derive my jollies, that is where I'm coming from a lot of the time  :D
