Trying new moves, suggestions?
« on: April 04, 2009, 12:53:54 PM »
Ok so at the start of this month I decided that when I'm not locked into a one or one or in a mission, I would dedicate myself to actually LEARNING more about ACM.

I haven't read much into it, just either too boring or not descriptive enough.  I'm a show me don't tell me kind of guy (aka, an idiot)

So I've been trying some new things out, one is the sudden drop in throttle..possibly flaps with a slow roll.  Almost worked on an LA but he slowed enough to get me.

Any other nifty tricks anyone wishes to share? 

My recent learned experiences, take a turn fighter near a mountain side and watch bnzers go boom! :)

I've been flying awhile, I do things that are probably ACM but woulnd't know.  I just know what worked over time.  There is SO much more to learn though!

Try working on evasives. You end up learning a lot of moves when you have to figure out how to get a guy off your six.  :aok

To be more specific, things like scissors(rolling or flat), roping, barrel rolls etc... You kinda have to read into it a little to understand OR get with someone in the TA and practice.

Hi Sincraft. 'Show not tell guy', I know how ya feel!
If you want to check out this small film library from aces high feel free. Some of the links are unrelated so appologies if you find pics of a screwdriver shaped hole on my shoulder or some pics of my car after some women wrote it off. The rest is a good example of many moves from different sources.

Get low and slow before the fight to force yourself to fight from 'disadvantage' every engagement. You probably have to die a few hundred times before you can see major results. Learning how to stay alive is one good skill, but it does not come easy without first dying regularly.

Spend an hour a week in the TA just flying around. You'd be amazed what you can learn to do.

I don't have to force myself to get low and slow. I just seem to end up there. :rolleyes:

1v1s are the best time to learn ACMs IMO.

Try watching dogfights (The TV show). I learned most of what I know from that.

            Remember its not how fast you are compared to the other guy...its how fast you can adjust your speed compared to the other guy to make sure you can turn tighter, but not give up too much E that he can climb above you. Sometimes its how fast you can slow down. Sometimes its making sure you stay above them if you have advantage, other times its being able to evade long enough to stay alive until they lose interest or advantage.


             There is so much to it. Simply starting with advantage and trying to keep it is only part of the game. Many I face like that do ok for awhile but once they lose advantage they slip into the "coming up short" catagory. Practice all aspects. Advantage you, advantage him. The tougher you make it on yourself, the easier it becomes against 90% of the players in here.

Well put Filth.

To expedite the the process from puss to pwn, gather intel via the http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/ and/or http://www.netaces.org then get a hold of one of those trainers. You could also Pm me. I'd be happy to show you a couple things.
