take it easy, brother! enjoy the fresh air and family time. thats the reason ive been away from tank nights for the past few months. we found a pub that does trivia and stuff on thursday and the whole family goes. sometimes dad makes it home before i do, so he tries to catch a few kills before the nights over. im an hour away from the pub, so it doesn't work out for me!

GVing is by far the lamest part of the game. 88s are a close 2nd.

hiding in buildings, feet dry spawns, turn down graphics is just too silly to take seriously.

hey some of us have to turn our graphics down or the bottlenecking begins

We'll see if this (a) is another step in how technological development as always worked in the past (new thing puts some people out of work, but creates 10x that many jobs overall and increases productivity and world wealth) or (b) just replaces most all humans.

I'd bet on (a) if I had to bet, but I don't give it 100% chance. It's just that it is how it has always worked, every time throughout history up to now.

Nice video Hlywd! Was a nail biter first time watching.

I noticed there was a couple times where you could have gone up and back over (like you did at .33 seconds) instead of rolling back around to the right. At .40, had you went slightly more vert before rolling around, you may have had him, and maybe should have gone left with the engine torque instead of right. (If you roll right, always cut throttle to roll you faster). You had the E advantage after his slight flat spin there. At 1:22 should have gone up in the vert and back over to the left instead of rolling right, as you brought him back into the fight with his E rolling down and allowed him to get the shot.

Then you had em, but fell for the nice reversal at the end. Instead of just guns full on and spraying, make sure you are cutting throttle as you near him if speeds are average while trying to get the lead shot and focus more on the shot. As soon as you realize you may overshoot, pull up immediately and go into a high loop. You did pull up, but you were too fast and didnt pull up in time so he was able to get the shot. Had you had just cut throttle and stayed with him, he wouldn't have been able to spin around because you'd have stayed on him.

Anyway, fun film, just throwing out some observations and tips. Thanks for sharing!
