remind me never to trespass in your back yard lol

Well, it's not like I'm showing where the claymores are.  OpSec.

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Now this thread has given me gun wood. 

I wish it wasn't so dang hot outside.

Yep.  and I got the Ruger Precision .22  which is like a mini-me version to do 80% of my practice with cheaper ammo.

Bang.  $2.00
Bang.  $2.00
Bang.  $2.00

Starts taking the fun out of it. ;)




Nice.

My bolt guns are in-between configuration changes, so I don't have any photos of them. But my favorite guns to shoot are a KAC LPR and LMT MWS.



This was first shot, cold bore, 300yds out of the MWS. Not long distance by any means, but it's dead-nuts accurate.

Another advantage is he deals with zero nose bounce, where most do.

People deal with nose bounce because they have poor motor control. My stick is 22 years old and lose as hell in the center.

It has nothing to do with my setup or joystick. It has everything to do with settings and control of the stick itself.

Buck fever.

I've heard keeping a little nose down trim to keep a slight G load can help too.

You and every other player has access to everything Skyyr uses. The gunsight is default, the pitch ladder is in AH settings, and you can purchase TrackIR.

As for "spotting" other players, it's as simple as this:

System Message says Animl killed BTDiver.  I know from seeing you online that you are knight just as I know BTDiver is always rook.  I also know that you fly the P-51 almost exclusively.  So, using just that information, I know you are on the knight/rook front (which is probably one fight) in a P-51, just as I can assume BTDiver was flying a yak.  If you play the game enough, you pick up on players' tendencies, which is another reason I like switching up planes a lot.

Ironically, no I don’t see that sight as a default sight available. If you know of it you can certainly use it. Same as the red dot gyro. You can use it if you can find one. Someone had to provide me with a custom red dot gyro. I stated this is not cheating. But if you use a stationary sight he has the upper hand. It is an aid, thats why its made. My point is, most don’t use that setup.

As far as flying straight to his target of the day in nowhere and with no dar…….its probably more than that.

Since you’re in his sqd I expect you to defend.

Take note, he was in trouble before for the ability to pin point rival players to harass them. This is not a new subject I invented. Why was he banned?

I’ve also heard about him in other forums, he doesn’t wear a white suit.

Gonna leave it there.

Hell most players are better than me. I don’t fly 8 hrs a day like I used to when I was much better and than I am now.

Exactly correct.

Dig those toes in a little and scootch forward an inch before your shot.

That is excellent for 300yd.

This was a 5 shot only 100yd I think.  Just getting sighted in.  Should have been MOA but I pulled one bad, but I was at a public range and the guy next to me was shooting a 155mm shoulder cannon or something.  Half rolled me over every time he shot.  Bruh.

I hate public ranges.




[Edit]  Sorry that IS MOA at 100yd.

Should have been 1/2 MOA but had one flier.

I wouldn't say "great"...



This is not a gyro sight Animl. The reticle in a gyro sight would move down and even off the sight when the nose is pulled up as in this video.

Meh! Biggest point. Just don’t harass or humiliate players to the point they leave, the game can’t afford it. Putting players in their place is one thing, badgering them out of the game is a bad level.

Btw, again, I supported Skyyr being able to come back. Not sure much has changed tho.

A real pilot shaming a game pilot is a lil goofy. <shrug> teaching goes a long way.

Like most people he probably puts a dot on the screen with a dry erase marker. Doesn’t show up on video. Way back old school fps trick lol.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

lol that wouldn’t help while using track IR. Buddy of mine did that with counter strike back in the day and he still sucked almost as bad as me.

My monitor has a built in crosshair, so i could use that if I wished. Aiming and shooting doesn't work like that though. Parallax wouldn't be accounted for, among other problems.
