all the timid ponies and doras? It's basically all I see now. Where are all the good ole days when you could get ganged on the deck by 4 la7's and 5 spit16's? Now, if you don't fly above 16K, all you'll see is the underbelly of 8 ponies and 9 dora's! Even when you give them your 6, they make the half-hearted pass and run for 1/2 sector to climb out. :rolleyes:
-
All the La's and dweebfires are busy chasing me.
you can have em back if you want lol
-
:rofl I for one don't make it a habit to jump in a snake pit, unless a squadie needs some help. School will be out for the summer soon and then you'll have your noe spits and Las.

those guys discovered alt-x now, they are all at 20K stalling like mad.
190's and ponies are on the deck because they discovered HO a while back.

dude, in the MW arena, it's been that way for a few weeks now.....it's part of why i don't make time to be on that much anymore......no one really wants to fight, they only wanna drop, pick ya, then climb up where it's safe../.
i was in a zeke last weekend.....had a mossie, made 3 swipes at me..which were VERY easy to avoid, and on each swipe, i grabbed alt as i avoided him. i got co-alt after a few minutes, and what's he do? he runs away...not extend, but friggin runs. last i saw him whilst i was facing his direction, he was 6k plus. i headed for a friendly field as i had a fuel issue, started my descent, and guess who's back? the mossie......barly in vis range. i tried to fool him and did a low slow pass over the runway hoping he'd try for the vulch, but nada......so i dropped gear and set up. on short final, i see the auto ack go off, so i pull in gear, and firewall the throttle......he DID finally try to vulch me. the only really good thing bout it(and friggin funny)is that as he went by, i got a round or 2 in him.....immediatly before he augered. was funny, but still not fun though.....miss the fun fights of even just a year ago.

This sums up my experiences of late. If you get a 1 vs 1 you must let the guy get so close that his anxiousness gets to him, then he can't get away.

I've been noticing ultra high 38s too as of late. I havent had a good fight in what seems like weeks. Went to have a nice fight with a 51 the other night, got picked by a hurricane. Perhaps its time to go back to ground vehicles.

i got tired of run run run hug & gang in MA last so i decided to try MW. well what a joke... run run run ack hug.
needles to say i logged for the nite after 1 sorty there.
it seems even in my 110c that attracts fighters like a magnet usually, i have trouble finding anything to actually fight lately. either its run to drop ord or run to the group/horde. i wasted a tank of gas flying 5-10 out from enemy base with dar up... high ponies doras u name it none willing to stay out with me. after 1st contact they run strait back over base hoping i am as most single attacker ...dumb enought to fly into gang. pretty pathetic seeing a HUGE dar bar that never moves & 1-2 newbs that keep flying into that air space dive to drop ord & get dropped over & over incouraging such behavior. shouldnt the larger force be attacking?
anyways i too agree nothin but spineless runners & ponie @ top of list :D

i do have to admit, that just as i was about to log off disgusted with the lack of fights, when a squaddie warned me of a high f6f.....i was in one too, and went looking for him....we met at about 17k(i was climbing due to the rash of hi guys as of late). we merged, and fought for close to 5 minutes.....was an excellent fight. we were down to about 5k alt, and i see a p38 comming in, and think i'm bout to get picked.....well, the 38 stays out, and i manage to subtract 1/2 of his right wing, think he's done, so i go for the 38...as he goes up, it "feels wrong", so i look back, and here's the hellkitty bearing down on me.......i break off the 38, take a few more things off the kitty, then the 38 augers as i'm shooting him.......i look to be sure i'm clear, and there's that damned cat STILL in the air.
although it was a good fun fight, i could see he was trying to ditch....and i admittedly tried to vulch him on it.but missed..... :O. it was probably the best fight i've had since that one with me in f6f vs geophro's spit1.

A few decent fights in MW last night.... 8k to deck. Mossies and 190s, a few spits and hurri 2Cs all coming in 5 to 8k. Bombers coming in high and low. They never got a bomb off on the base.

I can tell you what I think it is bro.The timid pickers by now know it's you in the Hawg,and they aren't about to get down and dirty with you so they can get owned by you.Plus you probably have a couple of your Muppet buddies in the area,thus getting in a turn fight with you isn't a real clever thing to do.Your reputation proceeds you,so you will only get the unknowing or crazies to fight you.Kind of like a gunfighter of old.The pickers are just waiting for a chance to shoot you in the back,just like the wild west.You have to give the devil his due.The picker has worked hard to get the killing shot,and he knows the utterance of belittlement is forthcoming.

Been spending more time in the DA lately. Even just the stupid furball area is more entertaining. But that's like shooting fish in a barrel.

i dont know SKY i get all kinds of fights, i have noticed that more are going higher so i up from a base further back grab some good alt head to the biggest red dar most times i find great fights, not many 1vs1 but still if i am high enough, i have a chance to kill a few of them before i die, and truly i dont care if i land my kills or not, but i so much enjoy fighting a hourde, making them work for my death. and sometimes on the way to that hourde i find that single nme that gives me a great fight.
heck no one can tell ya what this game is about,and where to find the fights, you know full well where they are, i got allot of respect for you as a AHer, to me you are one of the few that truly enjoy the fight.i dont know if you remember but a few years ago, (i thought you where a huge mouth piece) we went to DA and you schooled me in the hurri, my choice ride, i couldnt believe how well you turned that plane, but instead of being cocky you explained why you where able to out turn me, and helped me set up my stick properly. when you could have easily just been a jerk and thumped the virtual chest, in no way did you, and from that day forward i have had respect for you as a person and AHer!! so if you truly want to get some good fights we should wing up together, and screw staying near our bases head to the biggest red dar, jump on the hourde and kill as many of the bastages as we can :t
by the way i believe at the time (we went to DA)my in game name was USURPER

know what's fun though? when ya see a few cherry picking, launch from another field...climb to about 2-3k above them, and hover just barley in vis range, and take a moment to notice their patterns. they'll be too busy to notice you there.....when they dive down on their prey, then come in to where you think they're gonna surface....if ya time it right, they'll be just about dead in the water when you have em lined up in your sights. sooooo much fun :rofl

:aok rock i will.
i flew with the rooks tonight, gotta say had a great time, totally wasted a bunch a perks on two 262 runs but damm it was fun, it seems like the hurri2c and i are meant to be a team, its what i do the best in, i miss more often than not, in any thing else.
:salute to all the rooks that where there.

If you ever want a 51 that will fight look me up if I am logged on. I have been flying the B model a lot and rarely get above 10k unless I know there hording up high. Dastardly and I have had some good ones with him a 110. Just recently I have found ways to reverse spitfires and have been getting into stall fights with them regularly. Sometimes I win...more often than not I die but its fun all the same. A lot of times when I am engaged 1v1 I see hi cons leave the fight alone because of the plane match up. I wish there were more fights like that in the MA and have made some good friends from just a single good fight. I know what Skyrock is saying tho. I loved seeing spitfires, nikis, and la's because they usually always turn fight a 51. Most of the 190s out run the B at MA alts and the D is faster at all alts. This means a few turns and followed by running usually for me. I would rather spend a minute losing to a spit than five minutes chasing a 190.

Personally I'll fight anyone and everyone - I generally lose (I truly suck at this) - but its fun to at least try. Recently been taking the hurri 2d up and trying to pick people off with the big guns :D (not with a great amount of success - but its better than trying to pick at the edges etc)
Been getting bounced more than usual recently, but its not a big deal really - if I can avoid the first few, I can get co alt (ish) and with nearly the same amount of e - plus you always get someone who will turn fight with ya.....(must get out of the habit of using flat turns tho lol)
Been having great amounts of fun recently - and thank you all who have provided that <S>

I ALMOST hand a really good enjoyable fight tonight, I was rtb ina 109F4 low on fuel, 56 cannon rounds left. trying to sneak home at cruise speed at 1000 feet. here comes a 38G.. trying to sneak up on me.. I turn around and face him when he gets 2.0 out and its on
it quickly develops into an insane stall fight, im full flaps, hes full flaps with his gear out :huh and we are just scissoring back and forth trying to get a crossing shot while dodging trees..
we get out of sync enough so I firewall it, raise flaps, and extend, I get 1.5 out and begin to turn.. then as im turning all i see is a spixteen screaming in.. POOF.. dead
I probably would have ran out of gas within a minute or so anyway, but I would have preferred the 38 driver got the kill, hes the one who earned it.
but that aide its been a case of either.. NOBODY to fight.. or a gang bang..
and its always the same gang bang.. a handful of niks and spits and lala flying with utter reckless taking evey HO they can get, and citceling above them a gaggle of pickers, waiting for the stall fights below to get slow enough for them to get the easy shots..
I actually resorted to upping a fighter and circling over strat at 10K hoping someone will try and come try and "get the porker"...
-
I don't know about you but I upped my first sortie tonight and the next thing I know I was alone on the deck with 5 Spits and a Yak.

i only refer to MW arena as that's where i fly most......but it USED to be in the MW arena, that you could ALWAYS find a good fight.....1-1, 3-3, 5-7, etc..faily even matched below 7k alt. THAT was always a blast. win or lose, the fight is the important part.....like i keep saying it's a big virtual roller coaster ride. if i end the fight with my fingers hurting fron working flaps, wep, trim, etc, and my heart thumping, then it was worth the time......win or lose. period.
now though, if you're at 7k alt, you nothing but a target. ya get the guys that come screaming in faster than an SR71, shoot at ya, and climb back up......repeat n rinse. if you manage to take away their alt advantage somehow, they run(they say they're "extending" for friggin 10k lateral distance :rofl)
maybe i should come visit the DA, as it sounds like a bunch of you guys that like the actual fight are there....and i could improve myself enough to get outta the zeke/spit/hurri type rides too.

This entire tour for me has been spent looking up from the cockpit of my cartoon 38G and seeing nothing but speed burners BnZing me. I don't know how many times I've been so low and slow then when I get mugged that I don't end up sitting in the wreckage on the ground having not blown up because I was too low and slow to die.
Tonite I was limping home from a fight single engine on the deck. I'd actually made it away from the furball. A 51 and a Tempest passed over the main fight to BnZ my wounded bird. LOL it spoke volumes about the mentality of many in the game right now
But hey, it's their dime. No risk, no reward. I have come to realize that all that cartoon dying I do has paid off in that if I get someone co-alt, and alone, even if they are in a more uber bird then my 38G, I can usually take em. And those fights happen just often enough to keep me coming back.
-
DA Dan!!!!!!!
:D
-
I've seen lots of high 51's lately, and behaving as you say. They're up at around 20k ft. They'll start to dive at me but as soon as they can tell that I see them, they break off and egress 1/2 sector. On the few occasions that I've been patient and chased these guys down from their perch, many are weak pilots who run at the first sign of a co-e situation, even against aircraft they can out-turn.
-
Sick of this.
Unless HTC creates a payment option that allows me access to Special Events only, at a reduced price, I'm canceling my account at the end of the pay period. I'm not paying for this garbage anymore.
-
I have found that the timid behavior is usually concentrated around the 1st of the month (score reset), but this month it is extending a little longer than usual.
The funny thing is, I've found 190 pilots bragging how well they use 'Gruppe' tactics against a single enemy aircraft with 'great effectiveness'.
As Corky said, it is their dime, but count me out of that riskless behavior.

dude, in the MW arena, it's been that way for a few weeks now.....it's part of why i don't make time to be on that much anymore......no one really wants to fight, they only wanna drop, pick ya, then climb up where it's safe../.
i was in a zeke last weekend.....had a mossie, made 3 swipes at me..which were VERY easy to avoid, and on each swipe, i grabbed alt as i avoided him. i got co-alt after a few minutes, and what's he do? he runs away...not extend, but friggin runs. last i saw him whilst i was facing his direction, he was 6k plus. i headed for a friendly field as i had a fuel issue, started my descent, and guess who's back? the mossie......barly in vis range. i tried to fool him and did a low slow pass over the runway hoping he'd try for the vulch, but nada......so i dropped gear and set up. on short final, i see the auto ack go off, so i pull in gear, and firewall the throttle......he DID finally try to vulch me. the only really good thing bout it(and friggin funny)is that as he went by, i got a round or 2 in him.....immediatly before he augered. was funny, but still not fun though.....miss the fun fights of even just a year ago.

I just up my g14 and go up high were the other astronauts are. If they dive i just find the next alt monkey and usually one of them will try to fight you, or they are so relaxed that they dont notice me or my tracerless 30mm.
Ill take alt monkeys over lala spixteens slobbering over my 6 at low alt any day.

i would normally think the same thing......but i can relate this to the auto parts business(i own a repair shop in nj).
i have trouble finding correctly fitting parts sometimes(even from NAPA), and according to my parts guys they're the exact listing. we had come to the conclusion that they consolidated the parts listing from...say 9 different part numbers to 2 part numbers. these 2 fit 80% of the vehicles out there, and they figure they can afford to lose the other 20%.
kinda wondering if it's something like that here? let it go as it is, and if they only lose 20%, then they;;re doing ok?
don't get me wrong, as i love this sim(except for the picker/bnzer/hotards.......but it could be a money thing...it's also i think hard for them to sort out the ones we speak of too.

-
You want a Mossie to turn fight a ZEKE? LOL!
didn't want him to turnfight...just wanted him to fight for gods sake!!!! he wasn't extending. when you extend, you go to 1.5 or possibly 2k. this guy went out of icon range. then tried to vulch on landing. he didn't need any alt advantage, as he had speed, and could've still had a fun fight. i wasn't looking for a mossie.it just happened that i found one. i look for those i think will fight me. i jump into the furballs....even when i'm fling my zippo lighter.
the point is, that he could've found a way to fight rather than run.

you'd think we could at least taunt and shame them into not running 2 sectors after they blow their pitiful BnZ attempt.
Can't say that I never Boom and Zoom but my zoom doesn't last 2 sectors, just enough to get nose around and the real fight started
-
Last night was the worst I'd seen since starting my account, for 2 hours a conga line of 51's and 190's. :rolleyes: Each one diving after the same guy only moving to the next guy climbing after they killed the first or running if he got an advantage.

With some squadrons like SOARS and the Flying Furries polluting MW, the timid level has risen quite a bit in the MW arena. A couple of weeks ago, was flying near a Bish base, see 2 dots about 4k above me, 3 more about 3k below. I keep level and head to the 2 high bogies, the 3 low ones are in Hurricane IIs and no threat to me at all. As I get within extreme icon range, both high bogies dive straight to the water. I turn for the other three that are now a little higher than before. Again, as I get within icon range, two of the Bish disconnect and the 3rd one augers like the first two.
One of the Flying Furries then pipes on open channel they did it because they wanted to waste my time and don't like fighting. To each his own *shrug*

:cry :cry I'm too stupid to get some altitude :cry :cry
I like flying at about 2k..
the really really high pickers never stray below 10, so either they dont see me or wont engage at the risk of not being the second highest thing up (first being the sun/moon).. so they are a non issue most of the time..
though if you get 4 or 5 of them they may stray down that low, but only if they are sure you are the only enemy in within the sector.

Lets get something straight right now! First of all the trainers in the TA don't train. Sure they can tell me what key to hit for range or squad channel, what planes are the fastest or best turners..etc. But ask them about some advanced fighter tactics with a 38 or something along those lines and all I get is.....ah...well... you need to talk to so in so about that.
I've been in this game for 3 years I guess, and everything I know, I've had to pretty much teach myself. And all in all I hold my own pretty good most of the time. I don't fly with a wingman, and I don't fly around in a spit hangin' with the horde. So with that being said, I've adjusted my tactics to depend on me and only me! I've got on the 6 of several sticks I'd consider more talented than myself, only to be picked by their squadie diving in from 15k. Sure I could fly in a pack like you do, but that ain't my style.
If you're so good and "own" everybody, put your money where your mouth is , and you go to the TA and start training us "noobs"!
You uber boys get on this BBS and run your mouths how the game sucks now and everyone hos and runs. But I have yet to see ANY of you in the TA teaching guys anything! For 3 years I've watched you,lazer,bipolar,shawk,adonai,vanscrew..etc.. run your mouths about how you're all gods gift to aceshigh, but not once have i seen ANY of you in the TA! :mad:

With some squadrons like SOARS and the Flying Furries polluting MW, the timid level has risen quite a bit in the MW arena. A couple of weeks ago, was flying near a Bish base, see 2 dots about 4k above me, 3 more about 3k below. I keep level and head to the 2 high bogies, the 3 low ones are in Hurricane IIs and no threat to me at all. As I get within extreme icon range, both high bogies dive straight to the water. I turn for the other three that are now a little higher than before. Again, as I get within icon range, two of the Bish disconnect and the 3rd one augers like the first two.
One of the Flying Furries then pipes on open channel they did it because they wanted to waste my time and don't like fighting. To each his own *shrug*
ack-ack
i know whatcha mean........someone else had laughed that i may have wanted a mossie to fight a zeke....but ya know what? it would've been a challenge, and i'm sure as the sun comes up that there's probably someone out there that can shoot down a zeke from a mossie.....without bnz or run..eerr....extending 2 sectors. again, i don't give a dam what i'm flying.....i just wanna fight in my cartoon airplane. i don't call for help because my score might get hurt(i helped someONE in MW last tour, and they used me for bait when i cleared their six). the f6f-f6f i had a couple weeks ago against wwm was fun......good fight, my squaddie came over, but staed out, as did his countryman/////was fun that way.
like i said..maybe when i get time to be in the arenas again, i'll try DA to have some fun...or maybe LW for the furballs....or is the same timidness there?

dude....the last time i was in TA, i was wdewing, and a couple non trainers training. if you're trying to learn the 38, you want murdr.....or although i don't think their trainers, jolly, rocky, or helbent.....ack ack, or ANY of the 479th are all good guys......when ya go there, the BEST training you can get, is by simply flying against someone that's good......since you can't die there.....

BS. If you want some benefit from TA/DA sessions, you've got to spend some time there. It isn't enough to show yourself and expect 20 odd guys suddenly working with you and make an ace out of you in half an hour.

Sigh.
The principles of ACM are the same for all planes. If you're looking for some magic trick in plane A, you won't find it. Understanding the strengths and limits of a plane, and flying it to its limit smoothly, correctly anticipating where you need to fly toward, is not something everyone is able to do at the same level.
Some people are simply smoother, anticipate better or are quicker than others. Some people are more disciplined about practicing the things they are not good at, instead of practicing the things they are good at. What I mean is that in golf, some people will hit 7 irons at the practice range because it's their favorite club. They watch the trajectory and get lulled into thinking that they are "good" because they can hit one club well from a perfect lie, but don't understand why they can't break 90 on the course.
They should be practicing the clubs, lies and shots they are not good at.
Understanding energy and angles comes from reading and comprehending the principles, then applying them. I can tell you over and over to put your lift vector toward the bandit, but if you can't figure out the hand-eye coordination to make that happen, what can I do? Just like the golf analogy, I can give you tips and lesson after lesson, but that doesn't mean you will ever be able to break par in your life. Not everyone is same. If they were, everyone would be under par, and all 1 v1 fights would end up as a stalemate. Ironically, most fights against similar level of players are stalemates until one makes a slight mistake.
It's the mistakes, not any tips, that make the difference.

Sigh

although i don't think i'm that good, i kind of agree with this. when i get someone's 6, i simply wait for them to make one of these mistakes. or i make a mistake predicting where they're going to go, then i;m dead......but i do understand.......but not from the golf analogy......never played it :D

I give up on you guys! The only one that said anything worth reading is Rolex. Why not post information on the boards that can benefit people? Tactics, training in a particular plane or something from time to time. Instead this board is full of smart arse oneliners crying about how everyone sucks, except for them ofcoarse.
When was the last thread posted on how to stall fight in a jug or how to shake someone that's 400 off your six? The point I'm trying to make here is this: If you guys are as good as you say you are, teach us,teach me, I'm all eyes and ears. But I ain't going to hump nobodys leg or bow down and kiss your arse in the meantime. I'm here to stay and I'll pick when and where to fight the guys with more skill than me so that I land the kill and not you.
This is my 15 bucks I'm spending and if I have to run to stay alive or come in at 20K to kill you thats exactly what I'll do. I don't warp on command, steal kills, have a shade account or ho unless you ask for it. That's the way I live my life and that's the way I'll play the game until someone shows me a better way. And that is no BS :salute
-
all the timid ponies and doras? It's basically all I see now. Where are all the good ole days when you could get ganged on the deck by 4 la7's and 5 spit16's? Now, if you don't fly above 16K, all you'll see is the underbelly of 8 ponies and 9 dora's! Even when you give them your 6, they make the half-hearted pass and run for 1/2 sector to climb out. :rolleyes:
I know the feeling Mark.
Take an incident last night. Rooks were outnumbered ALMOST 2:1 to the Bish. I rolled an La7 in Blue at A6. Bish were hugging their CV ack. I dispatch two and see a 109 running. I give chase, low fuel, ammo but after almost a sector I get to 200 and he "all of a sudden" decides to fight. Within three loops he's in the tower.
The core of this game has moved from the "fight" to "rank and how easiest to amass kills to keep or raise it." That is the bottom line.
:rofl I for one don't make it a habit to jump in a snake pit, unless a squadie needs some help. School will be out for the summer soon and then you'll have your noe spits and Las.
You've obviously never seen what the La7 can do in the hands of someone who can actually fight. Those Summertime Squeakers are fodder regardless of the plane they are in. Even some of "the elite" (rankwise that is and some who declare what Tour they've been flying since) are as easy to shoot down, as the two week newbie. Once they lose any or all advantage they are easy meat.
But back to the La7. I've often declared the reason most hate it is because "They haven't a clue of ACM in it." They use flaps in it (LMFAO). I've been told by Luckys "that there is no way I (Karaya) have EVER landed 10 kills in it (without a rearm). Those that KNOW me, would be laughing at Luckys.
Hell when I was in the CAF I had squaddies with their jaws dropped as I turn fought three La7's on the deck (wings scraped water a few times) and shot em all down in a FW-190F8. It's the Indian, not the arrow.
<<S>> Mark, you aren't alone. Maybe we can get a Nazgul/Muppet winging session to happen tomorrow. Yeah, screw it, let's make it happen.

I would rather spend a minute losing to a spit than five minutes chasing a 190.

I'm almost completely burnt out of the Main Arenas as it at the moment. I mostly just fly Special Events now a days.
-
Slight correction--Boom and Zoom IMHO is taking a shot (boom) then using energy and the vertical to setup another shot (hence, "zoom"). What y'all are describing should be renamed "OPHA"-One Pass, Haul arnold. :D
I reckon I'm a moderate on the issue. I'd be the last guy to criticize someone for flying something fast and flying to survive, but things are getting silly when you see a lone Pony running from co-alt situations with a lone 190, or you merge with another 190 and the guy does nothing and doesn't even break when you start shooting him. Common situations unfortunately. Or you got a Spit or Nik all to yourself to play with...sure, if you are in a 190 or a Pony and you aren't the gunnery god, it is probably his fight to screw up. But if you got some E to work with, you might as well hang around long enough to give him a chance to screw up.
-
Although I intend to completely own UpTown, to the point where I teach him......I will say this.....I don't enjoy timid dweebs wasting my time acting like they want to fight. I mean if you can't kill someone with 4 advantages opportunities, then die the 5th giving it all you got to get guins even when you know he just owned you!~ Just for righteousness' sake! :salute

Maybe if you actually took some time and search the Training forums, you will find the exact posts you are claiming don't exist. I know for a fact that I have posted numerous threads on ACM, flying the P-38 and various plane vs. plane tactics over the last 8 years and I'm not the only one. You can also go to sites such as NetAces.org (http://www.netaces.org) and read some of the fantastic write ups on various subjects such as Merging, Energy Fighting, Defensive Tactics, etc. You can also watch other player's films to see how certain maneuvers or tactics are performed. Basically, you have to be willing to actually spend the time needed to improve instead of posting what amounts to a whine because you can't get what you want handed to you on a silver platter.
Remember the old saying, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

This is true, except that most fights between similarly skilled pilots are filled with mistakes; it's the pilot who makes the second-to-last mistake that wins. :P

Main www.hitechcreations.com web page --> Game Info -> Need Training Brings up a wonderful site for you uptown. I believe it has basics and links to some more advanced information. While its not necessarily specific to one plane or another it might be useful to some.

Listen, you are doing the Trainers (who spend a great deal of their personal time helping others) a major disservice. I'm in the TA four nights a week. I haven't seen you.
Stop in Tuesday through Friday evenings. I'll evaluate you. First, I'm going to find out what you know and don't know, what you can do and can't do. Then we'll set out to improve those things that need attention.
But be advised, I can't make you think. I can't make you listen. I can't fly the plane for you. I'm gonna run your butt ragged. When you find out how difficult it is to really excel at air combat, you'll realize that no matter how much time a trainer spends with you, 95% of the improvement is from hard work. You will get a regular butt kicking.... that's how we learn. You're going to film everything and you will review it to learn from errors. If you want to be good at air combat, you have to put in the time and effort. There's no shortcuts.
My regards,
Widewing

For a time tonite there was a good brawl going in Blue in FT or whatever you want to call that spot where there are three bases, one for each country.
There were guys hanging high in the speed burners waiting to pick, but there were more down there just mixing it up. While there were the usual 16s, N1Ks and La7s, there were also Jugs, an occasional P40, some guy in an A20 and lots of 38s. There is nothing more fun then driving into one of those fights on the deck and having at it.
On one run in, some guy on local asked why Lazer and I were going in so low. I thought if I have to explain it, you won't get it anyway :)
I don't live very often in that big target of a 38G but the challenge of trying to out turn and out think those guys in the more uber birds is great fun. I don't think there is a better way to improve your SA then that too and to find the limits of the bird you like to fly.
And uptown, there are lots of guys willing to help folks learn how to 'fly' better. I'd suggest you spend some time around them. I'd also suggest you forget about "living", and dive in and learn for a bit. You'd be surprised how much better you can get that way. And it's a heckuva lot more fun then hanging up there waiting for the perfect no risk moment. Since there is no real risk, and no one really dies, you might as well get in there and fight :)

OK, I'll admit defeat here. I'll be in the TA this afternoon after work Widewing. I'll see you there.
I go to netaces several times a week, as well as sodas' and donzos' sites because I truely do try to use acm when I engage in a fight. I have seen several films mostly of Murdr in the 38 and have learned a few things over time. I don't mean to do a disservice to any of the trainers because I have learned things from them in an undirect fashion..I.E. netaces and the training threads.
So, with that being said, I reckon callsign Uptown is going back into training and I will not rest until I have Skyrocks and Lazors bloody pelts hanging from my P40 windscreen :devil

enough touchy feely stuff, can't we get back to whining about OPHA's?

Lets get something straight right now! First of all the trainers in the TA don't train. Sure they can tell me what key to hit for range or squad channel, what planes are the fastest or best turners..etc. But ask them about some advanced fighter tactics with a 38 or something along those lines and all I get is.....ah...well... you need to talk to so in so about that.
Not to beat a dead horse, but the trainers have been a HUGE service to my squad and many of the members of the 332nd Flying Mongrels. Not long ago they even had a training session just for my squad and are more than willing to do it again.
As far as I know no one has cut them a check for their time and services.
-
I'm greatly in debt to the trainers -- Murdr, Widewing, Hammer in particular. I've also had great sessions with Badboy and TC. Lastly, the training films put together by Batfink, Badboy, and TC were absolutely perfect for my learning style...wish there were more of them! Without what all these guys have taught me, I'd probably have given up on the game long ago. I don't believe I'm a fearsome stick by any means, but without those guys' dedicated contributions I would be hopelessly outmatched every time I fight.
But -- for whatever reason I'm really, really bad at making myself go in for training. Every time I've wanted to start a "program" of practice, something inside of me just dreads going into the process. Maybe its that it feels like school, or that my innards get restless when I die and die and die to the trainer, or that the practice work isn't going to have enough fun to be relaxing. After all, AH is recreation for me, usually when I'm tired out from a day of work.
So here are some alternate ways I've found to get the training and skill advancement you're talking about.
1. Reviewing films off line is great, especially when done over and over from different perspectives each time. Gotta make sure you watch "actively", thinking and imagining while the film plays. Watch the fight from inside the cockpit with original views on. See what the guy was seeing, and guess what he was thinking, how he prioritizes the opportunities and threats. Then watch from outside with paths on, and try to see what classic BFM moves are being used. Go back inside, and watch key parts in slow motion. Go to real time, and watch one aspect only -- like throttle management.
2. Talk to people when you die Can't recommend this one enough, though it only really applies when you run into a respected player. Send a PM with a <S>, and ask where you went wrong. Sometimes you'll get real pearls of wisdom, or guys may open up whole areas for you to work on. (SlapShot did this for me a couple years ago after repeated furball deaths to him and some other BKs off a carrier. I was amazed that he kept getting inside me on loops and turns, so he asked how much I adjusted the throttle in a fight....new concepts!)
3. Specifically go to "good guys" with specific problems. Not that long ago I got really frustrated with how easily I was stalling, at the worst times of a fight. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on, so I mentioned the problem I was having to Batfink. We set up a time to duel, but by the time we met he had thought about it and was betting I wasn't paying enough attention to my angle of attack and the buffet cues. He was right, and from then on I've known what I was doing wrong when it happened, and I could work on it myself.

i got tired of run run run hug & gang in MA last so i decided to try MW. well what a joke... run run run ack hug.
needles to say i logged for the nite after 1 sorty there.
it seems even in my 110c that attracts fighters like a magnet usually, i have trouble finding anything to actually fight lately. either its run to drop ord or run to the group/horde. i wasted a tank of gas flying 5-10 out from enemy base with dar up... high ponies doras u name it none willing to stay out with me. after 1st contact they run strait back over base hoping i am as most single attacker ...dumb enought to fly into gang. pretty pathetic seeing a HUGE dar bar that never moves & 1-2 newbs that keep flying into that air space dive to drop ord & get dropped over & over incouraging such behavior. shouldnt the larger force be attacking?
anyways i too agree nothin but spineless runners & ponie @ top of list :D
Yea, I tried the MW/EW a while back and found the same.. It's all about the land grabs.. I was hoping something would come out of the newer AvA arena, however they made yet another arena..once again..all about the land grab. Pretty much the only place to find actual fights are in the Da.. However even there you deal with the same MA crap. Typically if it's under 20 players it's not too bad, but get over 20 and it's nothing more than a mini MA..
For the most part it seems most of the players in this game are only worried about the and grab.

You know, I originally passed off this thread as either a mild whine or altered perception or something, since I never seem to have any trouble finding someone to shoot me down.
Then two nights ago I found myself near an enemy vbase with a red LA-7. He tried for a HO that I wouldn't give him, I looped up and over, and he simply dropped to the deck and ran. Well, my N1K wasn't going to catch him, so instead of following I kept my altitude (7K iirc). As I watch him climb back up, from the other direction came two more LAs, one co-alt, one a bit higher. I'm thinking I am dead meat . . . but, long story short, the original LA-7 and one other made one front-quarter pass each, the third would not come to within 2.5K. When they missed, they both dove and ran toward the Vbase. They didn't return! I hadn't even fired at any of them!
I was alone -- no other friendlies were close (kept checking to see if I had cavalry coming -- I didn't). Why they didn't just engage and destroy me is beyond my reasoning abilities. Three LAs just passed up an easy kill.
Strange times.

I've been in this game for 3 years I guess, and everything I know, I've had to pretty much teach myself. And all in all I hold my own pretty good most of the time. I don't fly with a wingman, and I don't fly around in a spit hangin' with the horde. So with that being said, I've adjusted my tactics to depend on me and only me! I've got on the 6 of several sticks I'd consider more talented than myself, only to be picked by their squadie diving in from 15k. Sure I could fly in a pack like you do, but that ain't my style.
If you're so good and "own" everybody, put your money where your mouth is , and you go to the TA and start training us "noobs"!
You uber boys get on this BBS and run your mouths how the game sucks now and everyone hos and runs. But I have yet to see ANY of you in the TA teaching guys anything! For 3 years I've watched you,lazer,bipolar,shawk,adonai,vanscrew..etc.. run your mouths about how you're all gods gift to aceshigh, but not once have i seen ANY of you in the TA! :mad:
Which game are you playing???
All I have received and have heard from other players is how much the trainers have helped.
