Most crashed but once.


I need to look up some aces, this topic has a rather esoteric feeling.

Doolittle wrecked a bunch of planes.

I like to think I flew like Marseille, but I sure don't shoot like it :/


Although somdedays I had great fun flying like Hartmann lol

[Skyyr]

I would guess that I fly most like Hartmann, though my shooting technique is very similar to Marseille's.

Marseille persisted, and created a unique self-training programme for himself, both physical and tactical, which resulted not just in outstanding situational awareness, marksmanship and confident control of the aircraft, but also in a unique attack tactic that preferred a high angle deflection shooting attack and shooting at the target's front from the side, instead of the common method of chasing an aircraft and shooting at it directly from behind.

Lol every good stick who knows something makes approaches and shoots as so.

Every good stick prefers to shoot the opponent in the front/cockpit, from the side? You should inform the community, I have an entire folder of screenshots of individuals confusing such shots with HO's.

The majority of pilots prefer shots behind the 3/9 line and their flying supports it. Just a quick search of this forum will reveal that. Not that it matters either way - as long as the bullets hit the aircraft, that's all that counts.

"who knows something"

I should've been more specific. Self-taught sticks could be good but yet be uninformed of this right?

Anyway what I wanted to get to is the fact that to me out sounded as if you were implying that this certain quality in skill was unique to your own self. It left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.
