Sight tactic for Mossies, 163s...ect

TrackIR is not what I'm discussing.   Again, that is yet another example of "grasping at straws" in defense of the exploit.

Huh..
Well I'm specifically thinking of moving the view over to look through the front window pane on the other side of the frame in the P-47D-11 so you can pick up a plane that had disappeared momentarily. Or scooting the head position way forward to help get those monstrous frames out of the way in 190 cockpits. In neither of these planes can you raise your head position enough to see a plane that you should be "belly blinded" to during an in-plane deflection shot. If you think using the snapviews like this to get around an unfortunate artifact of flying in sims is just awful and ruining the game... And doing the exact same thing by moving your head with TrackIR instead of thumbing a hatswitch is *not* an exploit? What, are you a TrackIR's sales rep or something?

EDIT: I've probably sampled a half-dozen combat flight sims...Il2, CFS, some of ThirdWire's stuff, etc. I'm telling you, the choice to *not* lock the head positions in the snap views in as rigidly as it is in Il2 or CFS was a brilliant choice on HTC's part. The ACM level in AHII is probably higher than in any other sim in large part because even with simple equipment you can easily keep eyes on the bandit and get around unfortunate artifacts of  sim flight (like not being able to lean your head 2 inches to see around a frame). AHII lets you concentrate on the flying, instead of the looking.

Gents,

Moot and I have had a few arguments, but he is correct about shooting 30mm. A few years back Platano taught me to fly the K4. I flew it almost exclusivly for a month to learn how to aim the 30mm. By the end of the month I knew where the 30mm round would impact. It screwed up my timeing with MG and 20mm. But I could land 2-3 kills in the K4. The best advice he gave me on the 30mm was to learn how to fire one shot to kill one plane. Moot flys the 152 so much he can't help but hit other planes with it's 30mm. In the K4 I reached the point that I stopped tracking the con and pointed my pipper where it was going to be and pull the trigger. It's like skeet shooting with a pumkin ball round.

You guys should feel lucky Moot dosent start using an M8 as an Osti. That would raise gamey to a new level in AH.

and my post is more on topic.

So what if you belive you are or are not. My point about Moot and 30mm is 100% dead on.
