Gaming the game

[CAP1]

If you don't know to use it is. I'm not online anymore so I was only able to do some offline testing. I've flown in this game for a long time and know what things look and feel like.  I set the K key to my stick and I can tell you this, it made a big difference, especially in the 38,... which I never flew well in anyway.

If I knew about it I would have used it and I would be fighting to keep it too I suppose. Realistically though, did WWll pilots really use it for what it's used here in this game?

I'd like to give it another shot...maybe next year when and if I return.
Using that key does give advantages.

i've tried adjusting my trim during fights. i almost always have manual trim on, so i have elevator, rudder, and aielron trims all on my stick.

 adjusting the elevator up in a serious turnfight did nothing for me. werllllll....it DID make me have to re-trim when the fight got faster.

Another thing I just found out is that some of the best sticks in the game use the MAGIC K KEY to turn faster and tighter than anyone else plus helps you avoid auguring into the ground at high speed due to compression. Seems the K key over rules why we have compression in the first place.

Are you serious?  It has been proven time and time again that using elevator trim to make your plane turn tighter and faster is nothing more than an AH urban legend.  Not only has it been proven without a shadow of a doubt, HiTech has even confirmed it doesn't work.  Stop propogating the myth.

  Turning your tank diagonal to add in more equations to the damage model. 

 lol by this standard, the soviets where in violation of the articles of war, for building tanks with sloping armor!
 it is always best not to show a strait or flat angle, to your enemy,in the real world and in the internet one! look it up in armor trainiing, U.S. army, F.M. 
 one inch of armor becomes more like 2 inches when sloped or turned to a 45 % angle, i guess i just assumed everyone new this, maybe you should go put that in your , "this is how i use a gv", thread.
you must just be an internet tanker, no real world expireance what so ever, with actual combat or of any kind?

When the word hack is used in refrence to AH people freak out. I dont know if what tools talking about is happening now, but I am sure that there is someone out there hacking AH. Its no different than any other computer game.

Actually it's very much different. And guys like you are just spreading distrust & paranoia, resulting in dozens of "hacks" being "witnessed" by clueless players every hour.

Proven beyond all shadow of a doubt the UP trim does not make your plane turn any tighter.

I think being naive about hacking doesnt mean it doesnt happen. And lusche i have never accused anyone of hacking. I dont go off calling people hackers if i get shot down.

You can be naive in both directions...

I'm actually stunned that Tool is so clueless.

Elevator trim won't help you turn better and other than that it is used in the game just as it was in real life, as an assist to overcome control stiffness and/or compression in addition to keeping your plane flying straight and level.  There have been numerous discussions of trim in th help and training forum.

To suggest that using something one player doesn't know about or understand is gaming the game is ludicrus.  If you didn't understand trim then it was up to you to learn about it.  Didn't you ever wonder why those keys were mapped to trim and what it did?

You've also obviously never watched a film.  In every flight I film when I go to play it back my side to side head movements move outside the plane.  I only wish they did that in game as well but they don't.

As to Belial's claim that disabling other players skins is gaming the game somehow I doubt HT agrees.  He did afterall specifically place a button in the set-up labeled "disable other peoples skins".  Frankly I've never downloaded anything but the default skins and always have that button checked.  I don't want a ton of skins taking up space on my computer and I don't want to deal with micro stutters as skins download.  In fact, I wouldn't care if there were no player skins.  I do just fine in Panzers using the default skin.  Maybe your just not all the GV god you think you are.
