Closing my account for lack of fighting

[Ripsnort]

LOL Yeager!

Far more usual scenario...

In 51 with plenty of E, come into a potential HO situation with a Spitfire IX. Taking the HO is not a good idea, so take the low road under the Spit. If he tried for HO he is low nose, and maybe even silly enough to split-S. The 51 now noses up and goes for a big, slow, climbing turn. This places the 51 in the position to continue to bounce. The Spit will likely fall into the pattern of breaking hard for overshoot, possibly up or down. You can keep outturning him in the vertical plane for a bit. The break point (that is, the place where you get lost) is where you can no longer maintain a comfortable vertical advantage.

All this really means is you can use superior E to outturn the Spit, or any other plane. When your energy states grow more equal you need to extend.

Just now starting to finally realize the 51's strengths. Like everyone says, use alt and E. Run if things aren't going your way. Most times things aren't going my way, and the 51 can take you to safety as quick as anything out there. As far as not enough fighting, don't go looking' it'll find you.

Sax,

Ive been meaning to tell you how impressed I have been with your aggresiveness and skill when closing and battling with the enemy.

Very impressive.

Too many of those scenarios for my money.

If your looking for a "Quake O Matic" game your right this isn't the one for you. Sorry that they all wont sit still for you. But we will all learn from your post and make sure the next new guy has it much easier.   Hope you find that stationary target game your craving. Your excuse is the most pathetic I've herd yet but it is your money. By.

Yes I was looking for more action, not a $360 a year MS Flight Sim.

Osker has a good point.  I've never seen such a timid group of virtual fighter pilots in my life.  I don't know if it's the early warning people get from the AWACS, if it's a quest for perk points, or if it's just a group character flaw, but there don't seem to be too many people who like to dogfight unless the odds are fully in their favor.

Try Fighter Ace they have these neato air to air rockets and an arena with unlimited ammo and fuel and no cockpit view man its like youre superman flying through the air and then you can t even black out or spin the plane cuz the flight model just rulz except when you get $N!p3d by a guy with the air to air rockets that kind of sucks but then you can just get another plane and spawn in mid air in the free for all arena and you dont even have to take off or nothing and theres lots of cool d00ds in there but you cant drive tanks but thats ok cuz it sucks anyway cuz theres not enough peeps to $N!p3 when ur in a tank but the puter will control the tanks for you so you dont have to do anthing you can just fly around and around and shot cool looking flat tracers that dont have a trajectory and then the computer will tell you exactly where you hit the loser cause all world war ii planes had that kind of system so the pilots would know where they hit but the coolset part are the gunners in the buffs cuz they the computer does those and they never miss and you can dogfight in a b25 pulling 6 gees and the gunners will keep firing just like they did in real life i know this cuz i have the great big coloring book of world war ii airplanes and it sez so right in there ons the page right after hitler shot down that churchhill guy and bombed london.

I am a P-51D Pilots and Gorf said it faily well.

• Fly as if dying ment dying!
• Never ingage unless you have an advantage... E, Alt, Numbers, Skill (If you know how the enemy is).
• Don't bleed E and fight the other planes fight. Do what your plane does best.
• Fly smart and realize the "Shaw" even describes extending as a proper defencive manuver!
• Fight your fight and HAVE FUN!

Nuh Said Osker, hope you change your mind and enjoy AH

Cya Osker.

I second the bit about don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Just another whiner this sim is better off without IMHO.

Try Janes WW2, it's very cheap to buy now. I personaly hate it, cause it's just dogfighting with no ACM, but you may like it. Always someone up ready for a fight till you end up epileptic.

Osker, you need to find a squad. Then you can fly with like 10 guys and do the same thing they are doing to you.

Here's how you judge a good squad.

Find their C/O, check his signature in a BBS reply.

If it is more than 5 lines, has super hoopty spinning airplane animated .gifs, and is longer than his post, thats a good one. It also helps to check for 1 or more   icons, and at least 2 <S!>'s in the reply. (Know I don't know what s means, just go alone with it.

There ya go, your on your way to the best "tactical" part of AH. Gangbanging in organised numbers the piss out of newbies like you.

[Fishu]

this <S> is 'salute' I'd guess..
but those signatures, I hope you were sarcastic about that part...
