Back to the point of this thread RE:
For the New players ^ This is a common problem in the world of flight Sims not just AH.
Lets face it, we play this because were adrenaline junkies we like to hunt and kill
. Its a very basic instinct the
"ID" so to speak.
Granted were only shooting pixels in a world of vectors.
But the physiological effect on our brains that simulators bring to the serface are real.
Therefore when we see a weak target we go for it by nature.
If we didn't have the need to feed that Killer instinct we wouldn't be here... we would be picking flowers or playing Sim city.
We can share our food..... Like wolfs, we need to hunt as a pack.
Ever seen how wolfs hunt? One persues the others flank then they all share the food or the
base in this case.
The thing I see wrong with
kill jummping/shoulder shooting, wile another is in
first position (on the guys six) is that it's a
poor strategy Who is covering the other at this point? Nobody. It then turns into a
dweeb train.... I'm no great ace, but I know a bit about team tactics...
What I like to do when I see my TEAM MATE on somebodies six is to go High and be his eyes in the sky.
I try to calm him down and let him know that he is safe and to take his time and relax ...Ill be his eyes so he can kill.
Most guys really appreciate that and it starts to pay forward building a much more cohesive team. As well as on-line comunity.
If I were to jump in on his target, both of our rear ends are hanging in the wind.... no cover.
What usually happen is the guy who was on the bandits six get his butt shot off by a picker and the shoulder shooter lives.
What I Feel Is the best Tactic is the
LOOSE DUCE If your on a guys Six and you over shoot then Say
out and the guy covering will then call
In and you
alternate rolls . But to just dive in on another guys hard work is poor team play and a real bad tactic IMHO.
Use the Com's.. Communicate with your teamates.
That's the best advice I could give for the new guys for that situation.
