Idea for AH players promotional film
« on: November 13, 2017, 11:54:30 AM »
I was just thinking, since shooting down other players is sort of the ultimate goal of combat flight sims, and it's something everyone who's ever played a game can relate to, why don't we all contribute film of our best shots, and pick a volunteer to edit an exciting and enticing promotional YouTube vid. You know those awesome shots you let out sometimes, either very long or at high deflection or a tiny, accurate burst, or even ones where you literally smother the opp with shot from stem-to-stern. Doesn't matter if it doesn't necessarily reflect your shooting skill, we surely all have film of those awesome shots. If there's a little bit of ACM mixed in so much the better.

Might stir up some motivation to come and have a try. I know all the noobly millenials that show up in the MPA love shooting. Some of them start at 3k out!

I just had a couple white-knuckle dogfights with Bricker.  I need to start saving films.

Yes good!

I think that War Thunder crowd had a 'kill-of-the-week' video series I kept seeing on YouTube. Can't let those eye candy, flight-instructor-mode noobs get all the attention. Opportunity to raise the profile of AH!

Who are we going to volunteer to do the editing?

I was thinking you should use grizz's 99 kill 262 run, but I can't find it. :(

On the other hand, you might not want to set the bar that high. :old:

i have been wanting to do a kill cam of the week for a while now. But people would need to send me the clip trimmed down and already converted to an AVI for me to want to do the review process and posting.

The only thing with that is, as Skuzzy recently pointed out, it's AHIII videos that need to be put out there. Because potential players might thing II is still the current version.

Good man! I'll find some and trim them for you Jo. PM me an email address for the WeTransfer  :banana:

Would everyone please do likewise? Spread the word! Spread the word!
