Actually i think for starters the tracers are good, since you can actually *see* if you pull too little (very probable) or too much lead.




PS: I have tracers off. (Turning them back on a few weeks ago made my hit% drop to 1-2%.......needless to say theyre off for good now :))

I've tried them on and off. My gunnery is about the same either way. The thing is you kind of want the guy to turn, a turning plane is a much higher profile target than one that isn't. Tracers are also great for making runners break.

Do what Slapshot but also turn tracers off and set your convergence at the range you normally start scoring hits at.

Tracers ONLY help someone when you are trying to scare an enemy off their 6, they do nothing for you. If you've been shooting from buffs this long, you don't need them.

LOL Tater,

When judgeing the turn, you want to be able to read the other guys projected thrust vector (JIC - his path thru the air).  From that you want to read the where his spinner is pointing to see his probable bullet path.  You want to tay just inside, or outside of that all the time manuevering for that no shot position, while trying to stay close to him so you can manuever into a kill position.

I can't wait see you down in the weeds.  If you want the fastest way in, look for the biggest enemy dar bar and fly out at about 3 or 4 k.  Don't concentrate on getting kills the first few times, concentrate on staying alive.  This will help with target fixation.  In that environment if you have to take a second shot, there is probably now someone starting to dive on you LOL.

When you have had enough bobing and weaving and your heart is about to pop out of you chest, climb up on a pearch and do some cherry picking to practice your gunnery and slow things down and get a good feel for the plane.


Number 1 rule, don't ever climb to an enemy, unless you know you have an e advantage.  Rope a Dope stings cause you know better LOLH.

Anyway, ramblings from an average stick.  :aok

Now you just gotta bring 999 down with yah.  FI - 999 takes up the Art of Fur and turns into Shane in every what LOL :D

6) Rinse and repeat. ;)
