Getting worse

[Widewing]

I like Cage matches to improve low speed fighting skills....

What's a cage match? Well, first it must be flown in the TA, not the DA.

A cage match is a duel that takes place within the confines of the airfield. A large airfield is best. I could go into a long explanation, but a video would best show what it is...

I've been noticing that my aim has gotten worse as well. The bullet deflection has gotten to point were hit sprites are not even visible anymore. This combined with the cockpit frame view, hitting an evasive target is 99% spray and pray and 1% skill.

I have to admit, when in a 51 I can out run almost any plane with a quick dive and WEP. Even when the multiple enemy planes are behind me at 400 yards I can extend away with minimal damage using minuscule stick maneuvers avoiding most enemy rounds.

I would be happy to dogfight, but enemy planes can hide behind my cockpit frames at 50 yards away. Then when I lose site of them and they gain the advantage I turn for home and dive for the deck.

First off there are very few posts to hide behind in a pony. Second "if" you lose them and they gain the advantage you can't win the fight by running away. You can however with better flying skills turn the tables back on them and regain the upper hand if you stick around.

REMEMBER you don't REALLY die if you lose!

This still happens occassionally. Always the same format, 6 or 8 guys, in a variety of planes, all fighting decently. Usually all on same vox and great fun. Always ruined by one or more idiots showing up and spouting the "cant tell me how to play" crap
