20 to 25 at peak. Lots of fun.
-
I had fun for my first time in the AvA, I got three guys 1v1ing, but then got jumped by 4 spit 5's :(
-
Wow! What a great night of jousting! :banana:
-
Mirage,
Nice flying (I think I got an assist)--you were jumped by the Jolly Rogers. That is until your buddies showed up and I think everyone drew blood. On behalf of the Jolly Rogers, we had a great time and you can count on seeing us in there as often as possible.
-
It was an enjoyable night :) I didnt mind being jumped it is always good fun trying to stay alive as long as possible, the only reason I left after that is because thats when most of the squad I am in the process of joining was in the MA :salute
-
It was great to see you Air Pirates in the arena. :aok
<S> VF-17

Great time last night guys. <S>

Great time last night. When I left the axis were hovering right on top of the allied field. Wish we could at least give them space to take off and get moving. This may not have lasted long though I went to the MA.

you're telling me. I really do like the 38 and my dual throttles..but I need to find something I can fly...until I figure the 38 out.

I didnt run into any 38's, I will keep an eye out for you next time :)
its not like I didnt deserve to get jumped tho, my first two kills were just me BnZing a P-40 and P-39 to death lol, me and grumpy had a good fight though

when you're flying in the ma's look for any of the sapp doods. they're a generally friendly bunch, and will help ya. well......until they hit a tree or something anyway.
i will try too, but my problem is that i have trouble explaining what i did, and why i did it.;

grumpy's a good stick.
the 39d is hard(for me at least) to survive in. the 40e is very deceptive. on the deck, she'll give ya a fight for your money. the 38g needs a lil alt to work with, but she's pretty good too. as much as i love the 38j, i'm starting to feel more comfortable in the g now.

I appreciate it. Actually my biggest problem is making out the bad guys. I have color vision problems (often called color blindness) and its hard for me to see them without the tags against the ground if they are below me. I wil keep at it though..the AvA theatre just seems a better place to play fighter pilot.

ok.....one of the tricks to spotting them if they're low......you need to be co-alt, or slightly below them. when i go into a low(below3k) alt fight there, i head in skimming the tree tops. if i'm in an area without trees, then i'm cutting the rabbits ears off with my props. this lets you see that little black dot before they see you(hopefully). at that point, as you get a little closer, you can decide if you want to climb, and be above, or co-altr, and go from there.
one of the keys, is that once you're in the fight with them, do not let them get more than D600 or so away. that's the point where you're likely to lose sight, as the camo works extremely well.
in my sig line there's a link to the ava website. there's a write up in there by dawger with a LOT of helpful tips for flying in here. :aok
-
going NOE is especially rewarding if you catch somebody heading away and napping... sneak up under them and unload :D
-
that is sometimes the favorite tactic of some of the axis pile-its. they also use this to evade....get into a hard turning fight, and lose you when you have to switch views. happend to me a few times...and i think soulss said it happened to him too.
since i can't afford the vr goggles i was thinking about, i may try a trackir5 though, to eliminate that view switching.
-
I've been using TrackIR for nearly 4 years now. It's a great way to get the real world feel to the game and push the immersion deeper. :salute I can't tell you how many times that has helped me NOE Dichotomy from deep six and light him up....but, in a friendly way. :D

be careful the first few times you use it. it can cause motion sickness

i'm ok that way. never had motion sickness.......

That's why they had sliding canopys back in the day. :(

you guys better be carefull with your NOE now that the BnZ fw dweeb (me :D) is lurking around in there :t
-
I have track ir and love it! I don't get motion sickness but I did with track ir. There seems to be a thing called simulator sickness that effects people who don't normally get motion sick. There is about a three month average learning curve to track ir. You will hate it at first but use it everytime for at least a few months and you won't go back. #1 rule don't switch back and forth for first few months. It's good in the MA's priceless in AvA!

Boy....wait till I tell the wife what I need now :lol

You ever hear the one about easier to get forgiven than permission? :devil

that's part of why i'm getting one. when i get into a hard turn fight low, where i go from the forward/up view to the up view, the thing does this little spin, like i'm spinning my head as i look up....that's when i often lose em. by the same token, i've lost guys off my six the same way. :devil
i figure with the trackir, once i got eyes on the con, as long as i can keep him in front for the most part, i ain't losin sight of him.

Hmmm...gives me an idea. How about voice command.. "Fire rearward missle...." (ok movie buffs..have at it)
