The decline of ACM in the MA. (flim)

[Mace2004]

Most effective guns defense I've ever used is the negative G pushaway.  Not sure why someone would consider that "gamey."  Also, having someone crawling up your butt pretty much defines the "last ditch" scenario.

looks to me like they just stalled as hard as they could with their eyes closed and hoped for the best. I give them props for evading the initial pass. Had higher enemies come from higher to save the poor fellow, Floob could have got picked himself, leaving the other guy still alive. They were obviously new. A lot of people have a hard time in the defense position, that's why you see so many runners and 190s, they avoid any type of defense conflict. If you notice, generally 190s will do the same floppy tactics when you get a good lead on their 6. The guys in this film didn't know what they were doing, yes lack of ACM for sure, but I know for a fact you did the same thing when you were learning this game.

Did you you not read the thread, they were both veteran players. And that wasn't the inital pass, he wasn't surprised and pannicked, he planned on doing what he did. Both films were cropped for brevity.

For a few years now Skuzzy has been mentioning in passing conversations, something about home WiFi and it's impact on what may be perceived in "this" game.

What is the prevalence of home WiFi as the primary connected method to the Internet for most new AH players? The game takes a system snapshot every time you logon, stored in the file "sysinfo.cfg". I don't see an entry for active network adaptor. What are the differences WiFi versus hard wired connections that can be expected from our side of the equation when we fly against WiFi connected players?

Do these differences become magnified for WiFi versus Wifi connected players resulting in POSTs like these to complain about wire pulling, software lag switches, flip flopping around, micro warping, and god mode impervious to gunfire, or taking mass amounts of gunfire to bring down?

I guess this is not a stat Lusche can pull or HTC is tracking with the "sysinfo.cfg" file. Go to any store like COSTCO or names like "Best Buy", Target, or "Wally World" . Look on the Interent casually. WiFI connection at home seems to be the rule today with hard wired the exception. How does that affect game play?

This is a post about player decision process, not about warping, wifi, or any of the paranormal things that people allege to happen in the arena that always evades filming.

When you film them and send it to Skuzzy, it stops being paranormal, just Internet and WiFi.

For a while the discussion ventured down the paranormal rabbit hole. Chide them instead O'l funky foul tempered Physeteroidea fluffer.....maybe we can pass the hat and get you a case of Maalox in the interim.

It looked to me like both of them forced you to overshoot and if they'd known what they were doing after that you wouldnt be here posting films of your own deaths.

Yeah, he made several mistakes during his supposed superior maneuvering.

Why not?

Reveal to me these mistakes please so that I might learn.

I saw sawzaw do such moves as in the film, I laughed so hard I augered.

just got his floppy sardine on a boat deck k-4 and D9 4 times

When I saw the ki84 spazzing out I heard "I'M WEARING BOOTS OF ESCAPING!" in my mind's ear. If you don't know what I'm referring to video google it, it's worth it.

When guys would no that my first reactions ends up being a snicker, followed by a decision on whether or not I am going to give up any advantage I may have had, to try to hit them. Worst A/C for doing the stick stir et al.... 190s.

When guys "stick stir" at speed, at the speed they stir, if they were in real AC I reckon they would crush their heads on the canopy. But, in the end how do you model that?

Take a deep breath, laugh at their silliness, get back into the fight with someone who wants to fight. When the same stick stirrer comes out of their ack to re-engage, reverse them again, and laugh as they make a break for their field... again.

This is also why I took to flying the Ki-43. You cannot chase people, you cannot perch and pick, you can only get close and kill. So, no frustration that you can't kill mr. run90, because the reality is, you can't catch him. The MA would be a much happier place if everyone flew turny planes instead of 1945 height of piston engine tech...

The Midwar and Earlywar arenas are the best for fights. The aircraft are much closer to dogfighters than any LW Escorts (P51) and interceptors (190).
It's a shame they are so under used/valued.

The most memorable time I have in AH is when the LW broke and everyone piled into the Midwar. I have never had so many fights in such a short amount of time
