Many feel and quiet often degrade me for haveing posted mostly DA films,and that this type of film does little to help people who are new,to become better in the MA.I see this as an evolving type of game and most people who really have the drive to be successful,will still benefit from this and any type of film that broadens their perspective and possibly open up new ideas for them.
I too agree with what Vudak posted. About the only dislike I have with training "new players" in the DA is the having to reup and fly back to each other after each engagement, with players who have a bit of seasoning / er or time in the game it is less difficult, they pretty much know how to quickly get back in the air, read radar, understand direction/headings........so it becomes a lessor issue....
but with the newer players, I find it better to bring them up to speed in the TA.......heck I myself even go to the DA to polish up and knock off the rust at times.
I have been there with Badboy, the WM's, heck got a round or 2 with Creton as well as Nomak back a while ago, for people who have been in the game say 6 months to a year or more and have a grasp on basic flight, the DA can only help them, one must learn how to handle 1 vs 1 engagements, before they can move on to multiple targets vs 1 defender, and it is also helping them brush up on their immediate SA. This will help them as a stepping stone to broader subjects.........I also think the KOTH tourneyments are a good step in helping people with their SA practices, and target selection when dealing with multiple bandits.......
that being said, it is known that HTC wants the Training Arena to be used for Training, and the Dueling Arena used for Dueling / 1vs1 engagements, but that does not mean people can not get some good training from dueling in the DA.........
don't know why anyone would degrade you Creton or tell you it does little to help, everything helps as long as it is presented in a proper fashion to the student......
