I did this in the furball tonight, and I thought it was pretty good. I don't think I picked once in that whole film, but I could be wrong. I resupped 3 times, but it wasn't a cakewalk through the whole sortie.
Check it out, I think it might show some people that it dosn't take an uber plane to land lots of kills, and for those of you who fly it alot, enjoy. :)

BTW, I did start with 5 kills, I forgot to turn it on after the first part of the sortie

I stopped watching after the 4-5 minute mark. The mossie was a cherry pick as it was NEVER engaged with you. It was engaged with 2 of the other 15 knights in the area. Then you started switching to F3 mode and I decide finishing washing the dishes would be more worth while than watching the rest of this film.
About the only thing this film is good for is tooting your own horn. Congrats, your great at clubbing baby seals in an environment were you are one of the many in a plane "most" wouldn't consider an immediate threat. Woooo Hooo !

attention potato?

Like I said, I wasn't sure about me picking someone or not. Only reason why I was swiching back and forth was because of the poor cockpit views. The film was to show SA and not to show that I can toot my own horn. Sorry, but I'm sure your exprtice could do the same, and show us all how to realy do it. It wasn't for an experienced pilot such as you an me, but for someone who is rather new to the game, thats why I said, "It dosn't take an uber plane to down 13". My fault that it didn't show you anything new.

My suggestions:
Lose the F3 view
Give some 6 calls (was your vox out?)
Edit the film to give us a short clip of something interesting.

Cockpit views are supposed to be part of the challenge.

FWIW..I concur...wasted bandwidth. Was looking for some fancy ACM..didn't see any. :frown:

SA is using what you have in the plane as views and managing your tactical situation with them. Gaming the game with the F3 view to enhance SA is not "using good SA", it "cheating" to club baby seals.
....... but for someone who is rather new to the game.....
...you would be wasting their time. Using F3 mode is like keeping the stall limiter on. Sure it works, but when you are in a fight with someone who knows what they are doing you will ALWAYS be toast. Learning to have good SA without using the crutch of the F3 mode will make anyone a far better player. The same goes for the stall limiter. There are a couple of threads of people who have finally turned it off and find themselves spinning all the time....because they learned with a crutch. For someone just starting out I would point out that this film is just as I called it, someone tooting his own horn "gaming the game".

I did look. Yes, my vox is out.

Wow, never seen so much subtle bragging in a film. :lol

I thought you could only use F3 views in bombers - how is he able to use them in a fighter?

Good use of ammo and target selection tho.

The DA and TA allow the use of the 'F3 view'.

Please, don't disrespect the Ki-61. I haven't watched it, but from what I'm hearing? Shame on you. Again, do this crap with the Niki and Ki-84, but NOT my beloved 61.
When you get THIS! (My 10th Wedding Anniv. present from the wife and from Japan) We'll talk.

Bosco is a good kid, but I think his ego holds him back from becoming a lot better. :salute

where did you get that from, would like one for my self
-

Right, and I meant no disprespect toward the film itself - I mean, it was a lot better than what I can do. The problem lies within the "look at me" attitude. I just wish that some people would show more humility and allow their actions to speak louder than their words. :salute
-
well, I watched most of it, and I am very unimpressed, sorry Bosco, this film should be tittled "what not to do" you where always in the "hourd"
and attacking planes that were already engaged.
very lame flying IMHO, F3 view is a joke plain and simple, you will never learn anything by flying like this. BUT it is your $15 bucks,so enjoy it however you like.
-

It's pretty common to see a distorted sense of what "good" is with newer players. A lot also has to do with in game affiliations. Different squads promote different flying styles and expectations of conduct.
-
I said it to Shane the other night, I know it was pretty stupid now. I felt pretty good about myself at the time, and thats why I posted it, I'm sure you would feel good about yourself too if you had 13, or should I say that? Probably never should have.
Sorry guys.
-
Bosco you've got a lot of ability and it will all come in due course. In the end its not what you think about your flying...its what others think that counts :salute

Exactly.

:rofl nop, it is what you know about your flying. What the others think matters very little if any at all
-
12 kills inst that hard to come by in the DA these days if you know hat you are doing. Nice shooting Btw.

I didn't watch the film after reading the posts but had to give a shout out to Calan442 who I fought this weekend. He was in a Ki-61 while I was in a Spit XVI.
We met at about 17K over a heavily contested Bish base. He had a slight (maybe 1K) alt advantage on me to start and knowing that the Ki-61 can out-turn a XVI in the right hands (Karaya's for instance) I gave him my six to speed things up a bit before reversing to engage. We went turn for turn for several minutes gradually dropping closer and closer to the deck. While we both had opportunities neither of us took so much as a forward aspect shot much less a HO.
Finally as we hit the deck a friendly interloper arrived who I immediately called off (and he agreed) but it was too late as Calan had to adjust his angle and I hit him on a snapshot immediately after.
Anyway, I wish I filmed my sorties because he handled the Ki well. The only fault I found was I thought he could have been a little more agressive given it's turning capabilities but it was one of those fun one on ones that keep you coming back for more.
:salute Calan442.

Its fun when you can take a KI-61, and out turn a Hurri2C with it. Just have to know what the plane can do V. what the other planes capabilities are.

look me up in LMAs lets put your theory, to the test.
not saying you have not out turned a hurri in one, but try to out turn MY hurri in one.
-
Its not how a Hurri can turn, but how it can climb, thats when the Hurri loses its adv. <S>
-
Turning and climbing are two different things. And i doubt you outturned the hurri, but played an angles game with him
-

I can pretty much guarantee you that I can handle the Ki-61 better than yourself. But, I'm not one for "ego" and "pissing matches".
You're getting over your head Bosco. Please, let it go.

The problem here is in a true understanding of ACM. The simple reality is that a ki-61 can not out turn a hurricane...period, end of story. Now that obviously comes with caveats...since nothing in ACM is ever absolute. When generic comments are made that are both incorrect and generic it creates confusion for people trying to learn the technical aspects of the game.
The bottom line is simple, the Ki-61 has the ability to control the fight vs a hurricane. Accordingly the Ki-61 pilot can use the energy advantage he has available in the vertical to defeat the hurricanes superior flat turning capability. Given equal pilots the Ki should prevail but the hurricanes exceptional stability at high AoA and the reach of its guns make it a threat.
In fact this fight is essentially a battle between the 2 circle fight the hurricane should favor vs the verticals of the Ki...

Kar, I was not trying to get into a "pissin match", but I love the hurri and to hear him say that makes me think he faced a noob in the hurri, and I love the Hurri, so in a sense I was defending my extremely dangerous plane, that to many people think are easy killz, and there ain't no way he will kill me in my hurri, especially if we have same alt at beginning of the engagement, and no before anyone thinks I will just HO em, the only plane I HO is the Zero.
with the KI61 I will easily get his 6 and all it takes is 1 or 2 rounds and poof, trip to the tower.
No disrespect to anyone, :salute

I know thats what you meant, but its not what you said. The hardest thing to learn when you begin to try and help others is how to actually articulate what you already know.
