Intense Fur-ball Life Expectancy?

[ink]

you dont need a wingman.....your best friend is ALT....get above the hoard and let them come to you, use a good plane, and you can really get them in a frenzy....ive had 10-15 sometimes more...... guys all trying to kill me..killing 4 or more...with out BnZ them....using the vert and having that initial ALT advantage......granted I pretty much always just start turning with them

Agree too with Angel.  SA in a many vs many environment is a good challenge.
Do not forget tactic lesson #1, attack homewards, or meet a horrible death trying for the second kill low that is twisting and turning.

Randy, I suggest you look into Special Events, such as FSO. It runs three Fridays a month at 11pm est, and focuses on squadron v. squadron rather than every man for himself. The only requirement is that you find a squad beforehand (ie you can't hop in the arena and ask for a spot).

It is much more realistic than the MA, with objectives for each side, orders prepared by assigned squadrons, limited icon range (generally 3K instead of 6K), historic and pretty even plane sets, etc. Also, you only get 1 life, so it really helps with SA and making sure you are trying your best to stay alive. The dogfights are generally pretty fun and take a lot of concentration, since you never know when an enemy is right on your tail (3K of range goes quick). There have been a few times where I have found myself alone fighting 3 guys, praying some friendlies show up to help me out. There are many squadrons that fly in it and I'm sure some would be happy to give you a seat if you'd like to try it out.

What Ink said:  Alt = life

Nothing better then turning in a 38G on the deck with 5 guys all trying to shoot you and seeing how long you can live

There are people in this game who do wander out on the deck looking for the nearest cloud of planes to run into.  It isn't a good way to play if you like to see your name in lights, or to boast about your K/D.  That being said there are some of those people who can wander in one side of the fight on the deck and come out the other side without flying the latest and greatest or picking.

Not many, but some.  I unfortunately am not one of them, but a good furball is the best place to be in the MA.

Where are the real furballers?

I like to find the best turning plane in the furball and saddle up on his six.  As he twists and turns I can totally target fixate without fear as most aren't going to be able to stay with us.  The moment he quits turning or goes vert it's time to break because his buddy's on my six and needs me to smooth my flight path to get a shot.  At that point I find the next best turning plane and latch on while my original prey and his buddie get distracted with someone else.

SA's important but if you know the dynamics of a furball you can interpret what's happening without having to see it.

Shave the Furball !

  IF you care about score, then deck fighting is not for you, but if you can grab a beer, kick back, and just have a blast fighting, then the fur ball might be fun for you. I always enjoyed finding Guppy on the deck. Its really all about attitude, nothing more. Oh and I personally only appreciate a good furball if you get in there and scrap, not pick and run or hide on the edges...

:ball . Its really all about attitude, nothing more.

  wish you the best of luck bud!

I read each reply taking each one as a script of wisdom.  It is clear my weakness are numerous from everyone's post.

I do get greedy pushing for one more shot as my E bleeds off too far so I will try to nip that one in the bud and exit for more E.

I have climbed in a fur-ball to get that high 109 and it has never worked.
No more of that.

Leave the P47 at home in an on the deck fur-ball.  Take the La7.  Can't count the number of times I have dived in with P47 at blistering speed, made a shoot then tried to keep turning past the escape E level for more shoots and got shot when I slowed down even tried flaps.

I do find myself focused on making a shot and forgetting they're are others shooting at me.

Thanks for all the replies.  Now to put the wisdom to work; the hard part.

This is true, but I have found that extended lifespans deep in a furball are rare in my Mossie.  It seems to attract a lot more attention than it warrants. 

Generally I have found the Ki-84, Spitfires VIII and IX, Bf109F and A6Ms to be the best for long survival times inside a furball.

This!


If you enter the fight with more than 2K you're doing it wrong.

Agreed, God made P47's so he wants you to fly them.  I got totally addicted to them, for 6 months.  They are like morphine, once you start using, they own you.

Now I have gone to the Devils spawn, the 109K.

65 rounds of 30mm Cannons Muhahahahhahahahhahahahahhaha hahhahahhah (the smell of sulphur, flames, and just a hint of a forked tail flickering past your vision)
