Now now, cease fire on flaming. This thread is not for measuring E-peen, it's to use as a tool for some people that are trying to learn BnZ. The reason I post these films is to help out those that willing to search for and help themselves.
When I first started the game, about 5 months ago no one really help. In fact I remember asking for help with turn fighting on the forum and one of the reply I got was, "Why don't you go learn that for yourself." I was willing to learn, but I couldn't find the help. As a new guy, I was okay with getting shot down 10-20x in an hour, but it wasn't cool to look up to some of the high speed guy for some advice to get smack in the face and be told you suck. The first 3 months in the game I spent maybe 15-20 hours a month in the game because I was bored of getting airborne and die right away. I spent tons of time reading the help forum, and all the help site. Literature can only do so much, it can paint a picture of how things are done. It doesn't replace visual aid or a conversation with someone that knows it.
Fortunately I stick to the game, eventually I linked up with Widewing and had him help me out with stall fighting. I played AW for 3-4 years prior to AH so I had a good understanding of ACM, but I just couldn't figure how the planes were programs, how the gunnery work, how the models were etc. I just had to readjust to that. After a good 4 hours practicing and learning what Widewing taught me, I was able to use it effectively against other players. It was a significant step because it allowed me to able to see what I was doing wrong when I duel with other players. I got spanked by Messiah1 a buncha time to his k4 hax reversal, but eventually I think I figured out how to break that maneuver. I was able to do all that after a 4 hours sessions learning with Widewing. Without his help, I don't think I'd last long enough against other good players, to actually see what I was doing wrong.
To recap, this thread is intended to help other players that are searching how to BnZ. If it does not suit your flying style, then please try to hold your flame back at the door.
