Getting close and personal in a fight and the fun.

For immersion I look to FSO and Scenarios.

I really wish I could do FSO, unfortunately I work 2-10 eastern with wed-thurs being my days off :(
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

I like to try and fly as they didn't back in WWII. Take a plane, up from a field, gain altitude, get a few kills, and LAND them. The last part is a lot harder than it seems it should be.  :o Most importantly though is to have fun!  :salute

There's no better adrenaline rush than taking someone 1 on 1, having a tough 10 minute fight and coming out the victor. No matter what the out come though (win or lose) you always end up with sweating hands, sit back a bit, breathe deeply, and think about how awesome that fight just was. You then send a <S> to that player.  :salute :aok

I fill in on FSOs sometimes. Been lucky as we always run into a fight. Heard from some folks of flying a long while and no bogies.
My experinces in it have been great for immersion.

Nothing better than fighting against birds of another country. None of that pony on pony or such.

Hope you get a chance to participate sometime.

I really do as well. I've flown them once or twice before, found them to be great fun. Maybe next year, but for now I guess I'll have to stick to MA immersion :)

I play, to just play.  I love a good fight, I don't always put up a good fight, but I try.  Be it on the ground, or in the air,  I'm just looking for a white knuckle fight.   Score means nothing, I just want a good fight, and have fun.  To get away from reality and all the real world b!t@h!ng.

 :airplane:   and dying, then just get a new  :airplane:    What more could ya ask for,  FSO is great too.      Now if I could just figure out how tis damn  :joystick: works, I'd have it made

Personally, I love to be part of a group that is grabbing bases. I know that's not popular here, and something that seems to be on the way out, but I like the teamwork aspect of it. It's something that I grew up with in the old Air Warrior games and seems to give a purpose to the game. I like a good 1 vs. 1 fight, too, but that is VERY rare in the MA. FSOs (when there is a good scenario)are really great, too.

My style: Have fun, enjoy the company I associate with and battle against, and enjoy the immersion into elements of WW2 history.

IDK about that con, I've been in some intense 1v1s. I can name 3 occasions in 10 days were neither of us could get an edge on the other. I was in a fight with an Fw190A-5 while escorting my squadies. The fight lasted for 10 mins before we finaly broke off.

Look for the fight, wade on in.  Have at it low and slow on the deck tryng to keep that big old 38G alive while the baduns are working me over

My tactical philosophy comes from the real life Spitfire XII pilots of 41 and 91 Squadrons.  They flew below the 109s and 190s hoping to suck them down where they could turn into them, outperform them and kill em.  Best day being October 20, 1943 with they got 9 for no loss.

I prefer to troll along low hoping for someone to bite.  With luck I can get them to come down, defeat their initial move, reverse it and knock them down.

THe bottom like for me though is we get unlimited lives and planes, which allows us to make mistakes going into cartoon air combat.  What a gift that is.  With that in mind, I'm going into the fight despite the odds in the hopes I might learn something and come out the otherside in pieces.

I enjoy Ho'ing, toolshedding, ace piloting, asking for gunners for my 110, ack-diving, vulching, hording, alt-monkeying, chute-killing, spit-dweebing, spawn-camping, wirble-creeping, 5in spamming, and what-not.

1. Turn and burn
2. Out maneuver my oppenent
3. Kill him
4. Bask in my glory until someone picks me :( *(This has reduced a bit since Shreck retired  :D)

Ditto.   Bear, I think it's why the two of us end up PM'ing each other out of boredom in game.   :devil
