The scourge of 262's
« on: June 30, 2010, 06:51:29 PM »
A well flown 262's can kill at will and remain virtually untouchable, while the conventional aircraft provide the cannon fodder.  Sometimes it seems that some pilots are simply building their scores at the expense of other's enjoyment of the game.  Is it time to give them their own arena?  Or make them even more expensive in the MA?  Or make each successive 262 more expensive?

And is the fuel burn/capacity correct?  They seem to have an unusually long endurance, particularly for a jet.

With most long term players having tens of thousands of points. What number would you like too perk the 262 as too make it harder for the 262 guys to get one?

Are 262's really that hard to fly?  I prefer to turn fight so its not a plane I would really want to fly, BnZ just doesnt do it for me.

Fly?  No.  You could take one up, fly around for 30 minutes and then land, no problem.  Kill?  Yes.  Until you figure it out.  It takes a lot of experience and a fundamental understanding of crossing shot theory.   :)

As for 262s being a problem?  I hardly think so.  I know that the best 262 pilots in the game save their use for the biggest baddest hordes they can find.  Granted sometimes you roll one, the fight changes within 10 minutes and you are left with something less than desirable but I rarely see anyone misusing them.  Best horde busters in the game.

Ive never seen anyone "turn fight" with a 262, not saying it doesnt happen.  Explain "crossing shot theory". or does that give up the big secret.
