actually one can become quite skilled in flying and typing.. even when fighting.

of course it does tend to make ones SA suck

I remember watching AW films many years ago when I first started flying. This was way before VOX, as a matter of fact, before the http://WWW. They guy who made the film was typing away as he was in a fight. It amazed me. Not to mention in a big furball, the edges of the screens would fill up with icons and numbers. You had to watch these and try to figure out what dots in the center of the screen were enemy, tell if they were coming to or away from you by the way the numbers were going. All this, plus watching the text buffer and having on a conversation is something to see.

Now we have better resolution, Icons and range on the aircraft 3D sounds, VOX, joysticks with macros....We have it easy now:)

Typing while fighting was easy for mouse flyers. Just a quick double click on the left button would act like an autopilot and hold your plane in whatever attitude you were in (until you ran out of E or died

). I can remember many spiral climbs when I set it and then typed taunts until I ran out of E. Sometimes I do miss those days

.

EA just happened to be at the helm when the ship went down. The gapping hole was punched in the side long before they took over.

Ever heard the phrase: "Death by Typing"?

Heard of it?? I thought it was attributed to me from my AW days.
