I know thats my region IKF (Im retired from shifting now

My old partner still karts, in the 125 class also. Next time I go to the track to help him out, I'll holla your way to see if you will be there. He has a Tony also.

I wing with a squaddie almost when ever their on. We tend to usually work better in numbers, i have someone to clear my six while im always there to clear theirs, a win win situation. Communication skills (vox) are always manditory (even tough i dont practice it as much as i should). But when there isnt a squaddie around i will fly alone and use my SA to keep track of my location. Usually works very well when you know where you are and dont get too slow when there are many cons are.

Here are some website i found:

If you're interested in wingman tactics, drop by the CT. Most everyone flies with wingmen there, and a good portion fly in squadron formation. I almost always fly with at least one other 880, often as many as 6-8.

don't have wingmen too often but I always enjoy bailing out countrymen who are in trouble, nothing sweeter than robbing an enemy of what looks like an easy kill so I suppose that counts as impromptu winging.

once or twice a week

It really helps, I'd recommend it. I find that only squad mates are dependable Check 6 users.

Whenever possible. Historical tactics not only excite my anal-retentive brain, but they work too.

BG my dad runs Super Sportsman Heavy at Blue Max. We go to Kinsmen sometimes too. Let me know if you ever come to a Blue Max race and we'll meet up.

Love that Kinsmen track. Turn 1 trail-braking separates the men from the boys real quick.

I have a question concerning 2vs1 offensive wingman tactics.
Lonely, higher con is heading to merge with speed advantage. How to solve this sitution?

Below is my 0.2€ idea:

- first normal bracket move
- after (if) the enemy has choise target and headin to 1vs1 merge, support wingman cut the corner to get intercept course with con
- engaged wignman could try "Short HO" and/or break off with barraller roll evasion move
- support wingman try to get snapshot to the enemy but same time try to avoid burn too much his own E
- fast evaluate con reaction and general SA and wingup again
- extend, sandwich, split etc which depends how con is reacting after merge...

Any comments?

Well for the con without a wingman, first thing I would do is not go on offense but go on pseudo offense (really defense on the merge) and confuse the hell out of the two other cons. Make lotsa of movements, direction changes and such at high speed conserving his E. That will screw them up. Go kill the weaker con (an aerial kill that is heavily skill related in my opinion occurs within seconds of a swicth from defense to offense, beyond that your playing with cards of luck). Confuse, find weak, kill

My humble 2 cents.

No really this is my honest philosophy towards ACM, fast kills otherwise on defense.

Every chance I get, without my "Uber" Wingmen, I'm dead meat;)

I fly with a GOOD wingman whenever i can .. if he isn't good .. more hurt than help.

:so usally only fly wing when a twin engined devil is on:

a single con can't make a pass at one of us without getting shot at...
CAN'T .. don't care how much alt he has
