I still think the 110 and mossie should not be in it....and they should be held where ever the duelers feel the most comfortable. (kept to the DA of course)
also I so think the "typical" way of dueling IE; fly past each other wing tip to wing tip is not really a great way to duel, at that point it is just a matter of who can bank around faster, who ever came into it slower will bank around faster, lame does not show skill in my mind.
The Merge is where you win or lose a fight (for the most part) if you were to fly in the mains the way these duels are being played out you would be HOd over and over, To me I attempt to merge with the person, in a way that allows me to kill him but denies him a shot on me, in other words, giving myself a gun solution but denying him one, in this way you will learn to kill as fast as possible, because we all know the next nme cons will be on you very quickly, so if you can learn to merge and kill at first "contact" you wont have to worry about the first guy in, cuzz he is already dead, leaving you prepared for the next one and so on....and so on...
mind you aiming is huge, the most important part of this or any type of "aerial combat" is Aim, this sad to say I am very lacking. there are days though that I am spot on, and have killed 8 plus trying to kill me, using the merge technique I tried to explain
plus I think the duels should be more then two out of three, should be more like 4 out of 7, or 6 out of 10.
plane should be choice, not same.
say its mine and Grizz's duel, I was randomly picked to choose first plane, I pick the hurri2c then Grizz could pick his plane of choice, who ever WINS picks his plane first, and then they duel at a pre-agreed to ALT.
I have been thinking about this a lot I was not gonna say anything but what the hell, I am dedicated to this turney and would love to see it as a permanent, integral part of AH.
this would allow people to fly the plane THEY feel comfortable in.
I don't know just some thoughts.
