As a follow-on to the "what's your style in a 109?" topic, I thought I'd make the question more generalized.
Can you describe your style of fighting in point form?
Here's the two examples from the original post by Perinne
Hartmann style :airplane:
- stalk-and-ambush tactics
- hold fire until extremely close
- If it's dangerous to dogfight further, break off and be content with one victory
Marseille style :joystick:
- prefers high-angle deflection shooting attack and shooting at the target's front from the side
- attacked under conditions many considered unfavorable (diving into enemy formations and risking damage for example), but make an approach fast enough to escape the return fire
- would commit to dogfight to the point of lowering throttle and flaps
So how would you describe your own style?
I'll post mine soon...have to think about it. :cool:
-
Why does anyone have to only fly one style?
-
Wade in and fly until I die, preferably as low and slow in a turn fight as I can get.
-
I shoot at red things guys who shoot me.
-
Fly towards the black dots, when they turn red switch to reactive panic mode, prefer low slow turn fights.
Cant break out of perma-newb mode :)
-
Wade in and fly until I die, preferably as low and slow in a turn fight as I can get.
You forgot spray and pray... ;)
-
I try to die with style and humor
-
I will wait until I'm less than 200 out (usually) before I fire off one of my 32 rounds.
I let people think I don't know they're on my 6 then at last moment break into barrel roll scissors type action.. Gets them almost every time.
Only take fuel I plan on using.
-
continuously changing, and evolving.
-
I fly, I die, I wonder why...
but still I try.
<S>
-
Flying circles. Around everyone.
-
I don't think about it. If you think...

IMO the real secret to doing well is to be able to switch between various styles of fighting/attack as the situation demands at any one time. You can find yourself alone with a fairly similar plane and fly like a duelist for a bit, but then as enemy planes get near you've got to be able to shift gears on the fly. If you can switch between knife fighting and e fighting and bnz and run and gun and such back and forth as needed, you'll be deadly all the time. The trick is that it's a mental shift that doesn't seem to be really easy to make. Fight in all the styles!

actually, the real secret to doing well, is to just do what you have fun at. as long as you're not grieving someone else.
have fun.....the rest comes naturally.

B/Z mainly since that is what the pony is good at.

Well yeah, the fun sort of goes without saying! That's what brings me here in the first place. I even have fun losing a good fight.

I try not to grieve, but I will frustrate defensively.

this one is very special. it's a combination of 2 different styles. it's "surrounding multiple enemies by yourself". and the dreaded
"throwing parts" style.......

Is killing people on the rearmpad "grieving someone else"? :noid

ya know? i don't know. could that be considered vulching?

that's because i'm having fun making them work for their kills.
if you could see me "hunkering" down, leaning into the monitor, sweating, grimmacing, and getting that generally crazy look in my eyeballs, i might scare ya. :rofl :rofl
-
I don't think about it. If you think...
:aok
-

Certainly it is vulching.
And the more I think about it.. it IS grieving. I mean, I take every risk if I see a fighter sitting on rearm pad and ords/fuel and hangars are up. So it can only be one reason he's stitting there... and only one reason why I want to kill him at all costs
:devil

those shots are from the midwar arena when you could find guys that'd fight at co-alt merges without having 2/3 of their entire squad trailing them as they try to ho/ram/pick ya. :D :noid

:lol :rofl Muzz that A,B,C thing was funny as he11.
-
My style is whatever it takes...
Sometimes a guy will say "How'd you do that?", to which I'll reply "I have no clue, I don't pay attention to what my feet and stick are doing - I just fly."
-
Style ? :noid
-
Why does anyone have to only fly one style?
Because anything more will tend to confuse the simpletons, which is why we rarely see anyone do anyting other than HO and run.
ack-ack
