wirbles and tanks

I've tried both and can never get off the ground. Even rolling down hill.

That's why HiTech added the M-18, so that we may now catch righteous Dukes Of Hazzard style air over the bumps and mounds (now known to me as "ramps") provided all around our AH landscape.

Lots of guys tower out when the spawn slaughter ends. Heck, I drive all the way back to the field to land my kills, that way I get lots of practice flying my green Hellcat.

+1 for all who said the German gunsight rocks.  I love this thing, and I've gotten very used to sizing targets at 800, 1000, 1200 and beyond.  The real secret is being able to estimate distance between a shot, and where the shot was intended and making corrections.  The other HUGE tip I'll give is use your mouse to aim your tank main gun.  You can get a thousand times more accurate through leafs and over hills than trying to muscle the joystick around.

As for wirbles... there's a lot of luck, and a lot of lead.  The tip I have is if you think you're leading enough, go a bit farther.  In an ostwind, lead even more.  Those are a crapshoot for me.  Some days I'm on, some I'm off, and normally it has to do with the contact coming in.

Most Excellent !!! My club is not a single any more!

Welcome to the WTF is going on in the GV world of Aces High! I'm the club President and you have been voted club vice-president! Congrats!

Kidding aside, GVin is an art which requires a lot of practice. Killing planes in a wirble requires a lot of lead, I go for at least 5-6 plane lengths and try to let them fly into the bullet stream (this is in crossing shots) in head ons, you have to aim above them and have the round drop into them.

With GVs killing at range, its just practice. Some of these guys just know that when a tank shape fills a quarter of the site then the tank is at "x" range and aim for that.

Again, welcome to the club. The only way to leave is to practice. 

^that is hilarious

OMG!!  I feel your pain Bro.

As a former LTAR, I know no one better than LATRmoil in an Osti.  That SOB could hit from 4K out (yall know what I'm sayin).  He would lead dang near a half a screen just to get his kill, and Biatch about it....he'd get his kill.  He would not allow us to up an M-16, nor an Wirbi.  It had to be an Osti!

Everyone is right, it takes time, it take practise.......but you WILL learn the art!  But I REPEAT, it takes time, it takes practise!

As far as the Wirbel, you have to be the Wirbel.   Tank shooting is a lot of shooting and dieing.  Eventually the range becomes automatic as you begin to know how big a tank looks at a given range and you start getting those one shot wammos!

Oh, and for tankers, its VERY helpfull to memorize the armor of various tanks, and the preformance of your gun. If you're not good at memorizing, make up some quick-reference charts.

Thanks AH community, your tips will help me kill you...he he he he...but seriously, thanks!

[TnDep]

Nice advise by all, I could use some as well.  Thanks for the posts maybe I one day will be able to hit something in a wirble or osti on the other hand getting better at the 5" like that gun alot

Yes! Lead and elevation for distance is the key. Next time you're flying past a Wirble/Ossie at distance, turn your head and watch their tracer rounds fall below and behind you...if he's a poor shot. & then while flying by a good shot watch him lead and elevate and cause you to run through his stream. That tells the whole story. Kinda like shooting high flying ducks and geese. Shoot where they're gonna be and elevate greater for greater distance.

Well one tip i can give is dont use the default view in a whirble or osti. What i mean by that is use your arrow keys on your keyboard and look outside the gunsight. Press your arrow up key till your all the way up then right arrow to go all the way right. Strike the F10 key when ur done. This gives you a better view of incoming planes. Oh and also make sure you lead your target. Make them fly into the stream not the other way around. As The Fugitve said lots of practice for long range shots in a tank.

& use a dry erase pen on the screen while viewing outside the sight. This gives you greater field of view and perspective.
