Hello all,
I just recently found out that my niece might be flying AH in the Dueling Arena. I talked to her on the phone, and I thought she said she flies the Tempest at the lake and lands a lot of 2-kill sorties. I asked her to give me some tips, but she is a little slow and still has a lisp that she hasn’t outgrown yet, even though she is 9-years-old.
I think she said her call-sign is Skylar or Airlove or something like that, but again it was hard to understand her clearly. If you happen to see her on, please do congratulate her – not just for her flying skills, but also that she came in 6th out of twelve students in her second grade spelling bee. It’s great because she was held back a year and really needed a confidence boost beyond her abilities in the DA.
At any rate, if any of you Tempest pilots have ideas on what might make her so good in it, please post.
Wow Kingpin, your niece is wise beyond her years. I had her pegged for at least 13-1/2, just based on her complete apathy towards gamesmanship and dedication to rebelling against the establishment.
Having young teens myself, I adore the way she take off behind her field and grabs ~10K before venturing out of the ack. It's cute how she eyeballs all the planes fighting each other then blows through at 500MPH squeezing the trigger for 10 seconds straight at any and all red dots. Of course, immediately diving for the deck and running back to her base after spraying all those mean boys is a sure sign that she's almost brave enough to engage someone that isn't already fighting someone else... someday.
You might want to remind her to spaz a little more on the joystick when she's running back home. Remember, if she's seeing anything beyond a little eyehole surrounded by red or black, she's not doing it right.
I sure hope she continues to entertain us with those cute little interruptions. It's just a shame that the Tempest only carries enough rounds for her to land those famous "2 victories", since every awkward preteen girl longs to hear the words "wtg".
