wow, the CT (AvA doesnt sound quite right lol) is really great right now. plenty of people, and the RPS setup we have right now is such a great idea, im really enjoying it.
huge to all AvA staff and those involved in the setup, i love it!:aok
-
ill second that. stopped in for a bit tonight, really enjoyed it. hope it keeps up after the effort put in to it.
~S~
-
Looks interesting.
I'm in no position to grumble as I've contributed not a jot to the AvA arena, but, ehm, no Mossie at all?
-
The Mossie will be included.. :)
-
I'm going to pop in for an hour now, if anybody's interested
-
I was on for a good 2 hours and we had about 40 people on the whole time. What a blast! The dogfights are intense! The fighters are really well matched it seems to me. Thanks to the AvA staff for giving this a shot!
-
I jumped in to see what it was and was told just fly and kill.... so I did! Had alot of good fights with Pooface
and was having a blast. Nice break from the MA.

awesome fights man
my only problem was that i had to run home all the time and reload lol. you only get enough ammo for 1 and a half kills lol, the 303's REALLY need an upgrade, because there's no internal damage model, which stinks.
great flying in that 110, i'll try and find you in there again tonight!

maybe schatzi will weigh in here but it seems to me that some of the allied players were attempting very long range shots for those fighters. if i were flying allied i would set my convergence at 300 and fire at no further than 400 at 200 those .303s are like 2x20mm and quite effective.

Saw that, too. When I fly eight-gunned English planes I set convergence to 200, and take no shot beyond that. Probably even 200 is too far, and if I ever get to fly Hurri I or Spit I I'll set convergence down to 175.
At close range, though, those .303s will really chop up a plane. You just have to remember that high-angle crossing shots aren't going to do much more than cause the occasional pilot wound.

oops forgot all about our very own highly effective hurriI resident. :D
-
i only shoot under 250 yrds, usually under 200, anything else does nothing to a plane. usually have to pump half or more of your ammo to kill a single 109 lmao
-
175 on the Hurr1, shoot as close as you can get (conv is ideal).
Convergence is even more an efficiency issue in the Spit1, since the guns are more spread out.
-
Pooface That was awsome rolling siccor fight we had
109E V Spit1
Too bad those 20mm hit me :eek:
The 303's are very effective within 200. set the convergance at 275 for all 8.
I took out a 110 last night within 200yds with one 2 sec burst and still had 2200 rds left. Dont waste your ammo on deflection shots. It's tough but fun:D
-
lol, don't mind the spelling hehehe
-
yeah, great fights
log on now, im in there at the moment
-
if we want to see more player in the AvA, we need to get the word out to the AH community, not just the old CT visitors.
see here, give your feedback:

Yeah I noticed you emptied about 1500 rounds into my 110 and after my wings started looking like Swiss Cheese I realized I was missing some other parts. It sounded like I was flying through a hail storm! :rofl
As far as flying the 110, those mean attack planes like the 110's, mossie, IL2 and A20 are my favorites to fly. Don't know why but it is fun being the under dog.... but then again I could be in a 262 and still be an underdog! :O
-
I don't fly that much AH anymore (usualy too tired in the evenings) but I took up a Hurri I last Friday and had a blast. In my fights today I found out I had been extremely lucky to get 3 109's and one 110 in my Hurri that first time though :D In other words I got shot down a lot of times, but hey, I got some more kills too!
I really really like this set-up and there are even enough European players on to get some meaningful fights. Rolling planeset, historical set-ups, good fights, normal fuel burn, great! And the historical strengths and weaknesses of the planes really stand out.
-
Man, I took part in one of Poo's "big wings" tonight and had a blast. I recorded it, and I'll see if I can get it hosted for you all. As for the .303s, I was flying a spittie and got 3 kills - 2 88s and a 110. However, looking at the film, it looks like they were pretty lucky, the 110 was a snapshot at d200 and the 88s were finished off by other people. I have my convergance set at 250 and try not to shoot any further away than 300 or so. I love this rolling planeset and arena, so much better than kiddies in the MA. I'll sure be around for more.

With the joint ops between the RAF and LW34 - it turned out really great tonight, as you could see from the screen caps in the other threads. Been awhile since we've seen 15 Hurri's diving in at once toward so many JU88s who knew how to hold a group together - that was great to see.
But its been even longer since the pucker factor kicked in. Its never a natural thing to dive toward the business end of a defended bomber - especially when you see the tracers - and then go and look at the mission tape and how close they really were - especially the ones you didnt see.
-
it's a crying shame we have no He-111s and Do-17s too. great screenies thanks for posting them.
-
I always loved the Defiant. Would be hell to model and completely useless but what a nice and completly misguided idea :aok
Maybe a Swordfish is out of the question? ;)

Very true.
btw, what possesed the LW to load the 0.3 guns with 1000 rpg ?! I spray them like crazy and never even spend half of the load. It's extremely fun to shoot someone down using just them :)
