De-rusting using ACME Eagler-compound®

[nrshida]

Despite an end-of-life Microsoft Sidewinder and months of rust, ran into Eagler in the MPA and had tremendous fun. Remembered what this game used to be about,

I'm glad you're back. I'm self-relegated to bomber duty.

True ... but I'll be a 1a decoy on squad night.

For a few weeks when there was no one to fight in the MA I experimented with Level Toss-Bombing. Quite a challenging and rewarding art form! The ack can't touch you. Lateral aim was fine but the distance hard to judge and I stopped before developing a system. <Shrug>

Yes it seems to have been forgotten that the Duelling Arena was a paid arena!

Haven't duelled the Ki-84 in a very long time. Lots of favourite manoeuvres just not there anymore    Felt like I was boxing on Pregabalin. Anyone wants to beat me up for all the things I've said and believe, now's your chance before I clear my head

It might be why only 1v1 works now

If it became a popular 4x4 or more, I  would not have to suffer MA looking for the fights I subscribe for

The Force is a dying way in Aces High. There aren't many who care to learn or understand it anymore. Easy pick in easy super late war plane takes a lot less effort.

Its interesting. 90% of my sorties are in a brewster. The planes I meet in battle are spit 16s and 190s. 51s rarely want to play. Lose alot. BUT killing a spit 16 is just so sweet...

There isn't the environment to learn it anymore 

[Shuffler]

Most on the MA can't fly. That is why it has become the boring 51, 190, 16....  ect.

Bring back MW.

Maybe you would get some more attention other than pickers if you chose a different ride.  The Uber Brewster isn't going to get you much for commitment from enemy unless it's another Brewster, ki43, or a6m.  It's basically a helicopter that will best 99% of the plane set in a drag out low speed fight. 

I'll take 1 or 2 turns with a Brewster in something like a 38 or 51, and sticking around longer than that is suicide.

Fm2, 109f4, spit9, and similar planes that can turn well, just not helicopters, will probably boost the amount someone decides to engage you and stick with it.

Gonna have to agree with Lazer on this. Those Super Brews are too tough for most planes to fight after a couple of turns and their climb ability ain't nothing to mess with. Using less turns birds as turn fighters is the way to reel them in because they won't expect it.

I do agree, these planes are too much in abundance and it causes a chain reaction of more flying them. Having vets rack up over 9k kills last tour alone just in these 3 fighters is having an impact.

Why is nobody talking about ally he Yaks and LAs everywhere! Lol

What's even worse, is that the Temp last tour got only 100 less kills than the La7 at #5 top fighter, with the #1 K/D in the game...6. Wayyy too many taking the easy route.
