Wingman.. Hmm, would love to know what it feels like to really wing up with someone, but I'm more like a lonewolf.. Even if I fly together with my squad in MA, I tend to go my own ways alot.. Still having a great time, but since I am Norwegian my english is not as good as I wish.. So I don't speak on vox, therefore winging with someone would not be the same.

I did however wing up with TnDep in AvA for a few sorties earlier today, he did the talking and I replyed by typing when I needed to. I don't think I managed the winging very well, but atleast I tried to give him ch6 calls and clear off those attacking him. As he did the same for me. But the other guys were just too good and too many, so we died alot out there today..  :frown:

Having to fly a jap plane I never fly normally didn't actually help alot on my part either..

But I hope to be able to wing up with someone again, so I can learn a few wingman tactics too.   :cheers:

i think that way also, but some people i wont mention names..they dont get why im so aggressive. its like...dude i'll take out as many as i can before i die and up a new pixel plane, doesn't matter to me..

but as i stated before, kermit and i have winged for years, just somethin about wingin wit him that i can stay focused and not be like "oh shiney object!!!". i have the attention span of a fly, i love wingin with my other squadies but they like to focus on the task at hand and they do great, i really wish i could be like that sometimes but it never happens that way lol
I am so still jealous of Kermit<dam froggy>. I had a blast when i flew alongside the killuminatti fefw months ago. the reason why ur so not scared or jumpy betty is because u guys are having a blast taLKING laughing joking, was fun flying w u guys. <S>. I like to wing w the deathdealers fuzzygs or warlockz.

TnDep is holding a ACM clinic today for the 358th in the AvA at 6 pm EST (if you are available).  I am sure that he will be glad to give you some tips, that we all could benefit from. 

I didn't realize you were Norwegian, your English sounded very good to me. 

A good wingman for me is someone who knows how to set up a target, without killing your wingman's E advantage. 

A lot of folks that I try to clear their six, pull too many G's and don't announce their intentions, like:  "I am breaking right and climbing.... " 

If done properly, you might be the bait for a short time, but your chances of surviving are better, the quicker you are able to dispense with enemy contacts.  Dragging an attacker into your wingman's window of opportunity, in turn should give you a better chance of reversing the attack when he breaks.

My take on winging up is basically one guy is being bait. The real trick is knowing how you wingman flys, not to get too far away, but yet not too close. And communication. You have to tell one another what you're doing and when.
