A tactical quiz
« on: October 04, 2015, 02:44:00 PM »


A darbar slowly moving from east to west, at a pace of approximately 6 minutes per sector towars the end (somewhat slower before that)
A25 alarm never gets triggered, no dot dar.
Refinery only starts to flash shortly after the darbar entered that sector.

What area would you take your Me 163 to in the sector south of 21 to look for... something?  :old:

9-5-3  and I would have found him earlier....  :banana:

But if I waited until you say to roll, 8-5-3 and watch for damage at the fuel factory, if none comes assume its inbound for the ammo, if it stops flashing assume he went south to lose himself off the map.

 If he is really smart he went north, made you go south, and makes a N-S run on the ammo...

I would climb SW towards Ammo up to 45k and glide until contact somewhere in a Ammo/HQ triangle. If I make contact I would delay my attack runs only to disrupt the bomb run :D

That implies a set of bombers climbing to alt.

A25 alarm never gets triggered, no dot dar.
Refinery only starts to flash shortly after the darbar entered that sector.

That means the bombers are at the bottom of the map and the refinery is not their target (are refineries ever anyones target?).

What area would you take your Me 163 to in the sector south of 21 to look for... something?  :old:

I personally wouldn't bother since I don't know how to kill bombers in a Me163 (or anything for that matter), but if I did I'd fly to between 7,5,9 and 7,5,6 to look for high alt bombers.

These are fun... do more :)

I would run up and down the bottom half of the 8'5/9'5 sector line

I would run the whole line but mainly the bottom half is what I where I expect it

Most of you were about right. I found the Lancs in the general area of the '?', heading directly to the ammo factory (a target much more likely than the refinery). While disposing them, I spotted another set of buffs almost on deck more to the south, Arados. I managed to get one of them, too.
A short time later another set of Lancs  tried almost the same route, but this time they bailed when I got into range. All players were members of the same squad.

But then, we are all wrong, because such a reasoning is obviously not allowed in Aces High:

A troll!  :bhead damned you snail  :furious ..... Ya, lots of sloppy players in the game, you know by telling them tricks like this one or two might read it and get better....

Timing the bar is a nice trick, I'm going to exploit that for sure...

Most do not know town radar reaches the same distance as field radar.  Meaning town can flash if a pilot is skirting a radar ring.  This gives a knowlegeable player the ability to pin point a sneaky enemy. 

Good work snail man, again.  :airplane:
