Aerial Combat

[Changeup]

 I think the most important 1 is the lift vector and keeping it pointed at or better yet behind the enemy! The sooner you get your lift vector on the enemy the sooner you can turn into him.

   I like to send players off to barrel roll around the offline drone,using the "look up" view or lift vector and practice keeping the drone in that view.

  Once you understand that it's a matter of where the enemy is located on your monitor in that view and you can tell if you are loosing or gaining position on the enemy.

  Did I have fun?

  Did I make a difference for my team?

  Did I hit my target?

  Depending on what type of fight I am in, success will usually be one or more of these three.

A theme is emerging with regard to defining success....fun.  It's a game obviously so "fun" is the objective.  To change the OP just a bit...how could it be MORE "fun" than it is now?

  I have the most fun when I am working with teammates to achieve an objective.  Whether it is to capture a base, or defend a base. 

  Or...  when I get in a really good furball, where the teams are evenly matched, and there are planes everywhere.

There are lots of folks that I see doing this in game and none seem to have more fun than these guys even if it requires them to have lots of beer (Dodger, Lazer, lol).  

HT..yes HT making new maps would be more fun

Success to me is having fun.  Now of course, there are lots of ways to have fun, some "funner" than others

Some of the things that peg my fun meter:

• Watching a Pee-51 dive to the deck at first sighting when we are 1v1
• Any fight that lasts more than 30 seconds and you are never really sure who has the advantage till that fatal mistake
• Sending any ch200 hero to the tower regardless of their actual skill
• Performing a well executed reverse. (It's icing on the cake when I also get the kill)
• The anticipation while the troops are running after I landed a C47 next to town right under their noses
• Watching my sqaddie take a base after driving an M3 a sector.  (dude, that was epic <S> AkSofty)

The list goes on...

PSSST.. HT doesn't make maps, he leave that up to the player base, it's their game after all...

Nice!  Are success and max-fun the same for you or is there one thing that is more fun than everything else?

    success would be letting myself get immersed in the game ( hard for me to do as it is an eater of time) but when I do I am having max fun. If I can finish my sortie in the zone I'm max happy. Other wise I try to pop in when I can and look for that immersion fix. peace.

It's even better watching the ones that compress and lawndart.  Saw one do that a few months back and I think I laughed for an hour thinking about it.
