Looking for a good trainer - Thanks TnDep

[TnDep]

I would like to up my game a little more hopefully even learn some more maneuvers.  I'm a decent stick but I still get my butt handed to me by about 20 sticks in the game.  I've never worked with a trainer and I want to take advantage of that.  Who would you recommend and I'll see if there available to work with me. 

Thanks,

TnDep

well if it is only twenty sticks, id say your not doing all that bad. Give widewing, delirium, mntnman, or badboy (if he still plays) a shout.

Aside from trainers, hook up with the sticks that give ya a hard time. They will generally help ya out.

TnDep,

As with most in the game that have been around a while, we have our specialties in aircraft and tactics.  What aircraft do you normally fly and how do you normally fly it?. What do you consider your strengths and weaknesses?.  The more info you give us the more we can narrow the trainer field (not that there is a lot of us ).

TnDep, as Estes posted,  if you only having trouble with about "20 sticks" then seriously it is those 20 sticks you should be fighting /dueling to really improve ....

you will not get too much further by jst dueling/fighting anyone .if your fights are equal or you are obliterating most in dueling/fighting then that is not really helping you at all, except for being repetative.....all practice helps keep you on your "zEdge"  but it does not help toward those who are giving you a fit in trying to beat....

ask those "20 sticks" to go to the TA or DA with you and work with you......they should be willing to do that..after all it offers them the same eventually a good palm sweating fight.....the reason we play the game 

and as BigRat posted, if there is any specific plane types you want to work on, or if there is secific problems you know or think you are having......feel free to post them

hope this helps

[TnDep]

Thanks for the quick responses Gents! <<S>>

I like fast planes that have the capability of turning great.  My overall favorite is the f4u's.  Of course I fly other planes like the f6f, 38's, 109F, P40E and my favorite slow plane to fly is the tbm. 

Strength's
Measuring Opponent's E
Flat Scissors
Knowing escape routes and keeping myself in between the enemy and my base
knowing every planes speed/turning capibilites 

Weaknesses
Gunnery
over using flaps - might be losing speed when I don't need to
When to use trim
 

Big Weakness
Vertical barrel roll/rolling scissors I always lose them to good sticks and I need help improving in that maneuver. 

I agree TC thanks ya most I duel with I win every rd. which is not helping me.

Well as far as hog trainers go, we have lots of them.  TC, Mtnman, or me, all spend a lot of time in the hogs.  I'm normally on around 9:00 central time during the week except Friday with FSO.  In case you just want to pop in and do some work, as long as I'm not with another student it shouldn't be a problem.  I love rolling scissors, hogs are naturally good at them, just like rolling in the mud .  TC and MtnMan are the more veteran hog trainers but If you want to give the newer trainer a try, let me know.

What TC said


There's very often a rolling 1-1 going in the DA around 23/24 in the evenings. look for dedalos, grizz etc etc and you will find some of the guys you want to be fighting.

The differences in the level you are talking about can be gunnery reflexes and timing, none of which are "taught" as such. There's not a lot "magic" moves or ACM that will make the difference

rgr that Redd, I duel at those fields with those guys quite a bit and I couldn't have gotten to where I'm at today without some of their help.  Theres just a few maneuvers that I need to learn how to perform them correctly maybe BigRat can help me with.  Mainly the rolling scissors I seem to lose the most in.

I frequently lose in them too Its almost like I would rather force a rolling scissors into a flat scissors where I can win than do a rolling scissors and take the risk.

ARdy

still losing in them Ardy  watch the 39q in the Dueling match against Bruv.  I would call this a rudder roll or it appeared to be anyways.  Got to practice up on these type of manuvers and some reversal techniques.  It's a never ending process of improving I guess thats why I love the game so much.  Take care

yeah yeah laugh it off...

[Clonk]

TnDep when you are done working with the trainers would you come teach me?  Learn one do one teach one philosophy??


All I fly is the Niki, and it would be great to match up against the types of planes you fly and learn!


Thanks-  <<S>> Clonk

[TnDep]

Clonk ur a great pilot already Sir!  I'll be glad too one day when I feel I'm ready.
