Fugi, not that I have anything against films, but the only films I have ever posted was ones of great fights, but me as being the loser.....guess I am modest like that
edit: except of one film from many many years ago of me low over the water doing about 110 IAS in a F4U-1C 75% fuel and having 6 different planes attacking me at once , from bf109g2's, F6f-5's, FW-190A8 and P-51 D's and a zeke or 2.....that is the only film I ever posted where I cleaned their clocks, and not a single HO shot from me.............it was at that time, I decided to never post another film of me being victorious, I don't desire nor need any "Look at me" videos
when it comes to filming for Training purposes ( like my films Badboy used for the BRD and rolling scissors, etc ) I make it a point to first get permission from the other people in the films, and to make it where their names / gameid's never appear, to save face
and I would rather help work with you in the TA and film our work, and learn from it together....
hope you understand how I view films in this game
Sincerely,
TC / Johnny
I only give you a hard time because at one time you said you would send me F4 films and then never did.
Personally I don't care who is in the film, nor whether they win or lose I watch them to learn how others fly a plane, and do what they do.
Greebo sent me some films once a long time ago. When ever I fought him , other than my poor aim, I always thought I did well, but always lost. After going through the films I figured out why, it was because of my poor aim.
Greebo isnt a "super stud" in his F6. He may be a bit above average, but he isn't one of those over top guys. He has good SA, and good plane control, not exceptional like you see a few of those top sticks in their 109s and such, but good. Where he does excel at is his aim. If you give him a shot, he not only takes it, he knocks parts off, EVERY time. He very rarely misses.
Watching his films over and over, slowing them down, following every round, taught me a lot about about lead. I now shoot in the 4-5% range. Will I beat Greebo next time we meet? Who knows, but if I get a shot maybe I'll knock a few parts off which should make it easier
As for posting films, well I think your being a bit irrational about the "names" seeing as we are all flying under "assumed" names as it is. Also, I never asked you to "post" films, I asked you to send me some, I'll keep the names private if you like(didn't say who Greebo fought in his films did I?
). I was just looking for some films of players flying hogs. I know how I fly them and just wanted to compare styles to see if I was missing something I hadn't thought about.
Working with a trainer doesn't work well with me. I don't know the questions to ask, or what I "need to work on". I do know when I see something in a film I can tell if it's good or bad, helps or doesn't.
Thanks for the offer tho <S>
