The reason I hardly fly anymore. They all need fast planes.

It was fun back in the day though... wasn't it.  :aok

Yessir, it was!  The same things that are happening now happened back then, too!  It just wasn't as noticeable because there were more pilots willing to have a good fight, leave 1v1s alone, etc.  I still like to take the 38 out every now and then, even managed to have the most kills in a 38G one tour, but it is far less often.

Honestly, though, flying planes like the 190/TA has been a challenge for me because I've changed the way I fly.  It's been fun and frustrating, but not many players left are willing to learn something new.  Instead they cling to easy.

Not only that, but you have the fastest closure rate and smallest profile to be hit when approaching your opponent head-on. A front-quarter shot is quite literally the easiest shot to avoid. Out of all phases of flight, you are the hardest to hit during a head-on merge.

If you can't avoid a front-quarter shot at the merge, you have no one but you and your lack of skill to blame.
Some people get upset with themselves when they don’t HO. Somewhere after the second to forth miss I get bored and oblige or give them my tail. Either they don’t have anything else in the arsenal or they’re just lazy.

Others complain constantly when they're shot anywhere that's not a 30° cone behind their tail, even when they were the ones dumb enough to turn into their opponent's guns... almost every fight.

Make it make sense, right?

Some of us are here for the fight. And some of us are here for grief.

It would seem to me if you can't dodge the easiest shot to avoid in the game, someone probably isn't very good at fighting.

Agreed. And if you open with a HO knowing that. You’re not very good either.

So hitting and consistently making the hardest shot in the game says you're not very good? Seems like you're either unfamiliar with ACM and logic, or just very emotional.

In either case, can't wait to see you in game again.

So one post calls a High Aspect Shot as "low aspect". There I was awaiting the post, full of correctional glee to appear from a certain someone.

However our resident air combat professional in Skyyr certainly didn't notice the very obvious, with the reply "Yes;".. and amusingly in the next breath suggested not to engage in any education.

Today we understands how to spot a fake expert.

I didn't make the post nor did I feel the need to correct it (nor did I bother to check if you or the OP is correct). It's an irrelevant tertiary concern to the fact a one-circle fight ends nose-to-nose.

Is this the same Dolby that quit the game and accused people of using multiple accounts to track him... while broadcasting his location live on Twitch? And he couldn't figure out that's why he kept getting killed?

I wouldn't try to paint yourself as being able to correct anyone any time soon.

I clearly touched a nerve, that was both quick and personal.   :banana:

100% accurate that your trying desperately to divert attention from you being a Fake Expert.

Post the link again and again, share and share it to the world that you eagerly engage in stream sniping I.E cheating.

GG Fake expert try another aspect to wound me.

He certainly is fragile today, he doesn't usually break that fast.

Off nose or tail?


Coming in a beam is high aspect. 



 
[edit]  ...to me.  If nose to nose is considered high aspect, I can accept that, but that definition seems unhelpful.   

To me nose to nose or nose to tail are low aspect as in their relative movement across the LOS is slower than what I call high aspect when they are traversing at 90 deg.

Regardless, whiners will whine about "HO" they initiated or agreed to or just got caught not paying attention.
