The 1 on 1 fights can be fun as well, but make sure you come in with reasonable expectations.  If you're planning on turn fighting a zeke 1 on 1 in a f4f don't expect to win, just enjoy it for what it is.  If you can last 30 seconds without 'extending' away you've done real good.  Sometimes you can get the zeke driver to make a mistake, and make him pay for it, but don't count on that happening to often.

 


Agreed on all points here.

I absolutely got pwn'd repeatedly yesterday in the F4F.  There are some hella bad blind spots in that plane- I'd say I got killed 3 times and never even knew the guy was back there until my blood was splattered all over the canopy (olklok, I'm looking at you...you too MGD).

"Toonces, check six you got a zeke on your tail."

Thinking: What, that guy 2.0k out?  He's no threat.

BAM BAM BAM!  "What the....?"

HOST:  Olklok shot you down.
HOST:  You have been killed.

"WHERE THE HELL DID THAT GUY COME FROM?!!!?"

Okllok picks, that's why he goes from 2.0K to zero in no time.

Then he runs runs runs runs runs.  FAR away as fast as he can...  And since he's in an FM-2 you can't catch him.

He's ruined quite a number of good fights with those tactics.   I don't even go in the arena when he's there any more.  

Love the map.  Enjoy the Zeke...   But it seems a lot slower than it should be, especially with the FM-2 there.

Takes all day to catch Buffs in it and then you die...  Boring.

Love the map and the setup.  Actually getting spoiled by its beauty and have little interest going into standard maps.

Love the AvA arena, been my fav since it was the CT, used to go by HiJacker but was off for a bit. I still see some of the old faces (when you get real close lol) and a lot of new ones. Sure do miss the old VF27 days, was a lot of fun then too.  Midway is great, I get killed alot mostly by KONG, he always has my number (better than me) you would think that as long as I have been at this I would be pretty good, but i usually end up on the recieving end of a long burst, but boy do i have fun!:lol

FYI The FM2 isn't enabled. The F4F-4 is. The F4F-4 is only faster than the A6m2 under 4k. Above that the A6m overtakes it at all altitudes. Also, if the zero stays at 5k and the wildcat goes to the deck, the zero will outrun it and catch up to it.

The wildcat is the weaker plane by far, with 1000fpm less climb rate, less speed at all but the deck, twice the turn radius, lack of cannons (not an issue against the a6m2 though), and the views available.

Might want to consider that before saying things are unfair for zero pilots :D

I agree on principle about the bombers, though.

P.S. Here ya go, F4F-4 vs A6m2:

Krusty the times that I was in there the fights were otd. Theres no need to gain alt untill okpick comes in. Even then hes always 5k+ above the fight waiting for a 1v1 to start so he can dive in.

I don't doubt it. One reason I stopped flying in AvA. Not him, but everybody in general does it.

But I wouldn't blame the plane (as skull was) when it's pretty much out-classed by the zero in this setup.

Skull isn't wrong, Krusty, the FM2 is enabled here.  See the other thread.

The other thread? I missed that one. I was going off of the first post in THIS thread, which said F4F-4, hehe.


Okay, then. I'm sorry, my mistake!

well, i didn't mean this as a bash on okllok (or MGD).  in 4v4 engagement, if i'm getting picked, that's poor SA on my part.

i say good flying. i can't pick for crap.

are you crazy soda....take the f4f out and place a f6 with all them 50 cals. against only a little zeke. OMG the japs aint got a chance now........oh wait a min...u can't make everybody happy i guess...lol

the way i see it is if it aint a challenge then whats the point of trying all

although the 4v1 thing really does suck. others should have honor and expand there fighting capabilities

Both the p40 and the F6F are doing really good vs the 0s.  F6F is almost unteachable by them
