I'm tempted to write some names down and hunt you in AH MA...ambush you when you leatst expext it. Pop out of that mountain at full revs and...BAM! Take you out in a 10 second burst of hispano.
Fly write into that blind spot of your until I'm so close, I can read your thoughts. You'll be having nightmares about me. Everytime you hear the words "sitting swan" you'll break out in a panic attack and check your 6.

Seems to me I'd just have to do a split-s and wait for the maneuver kill to be awarded.

I never indicated that I have any problem with any of the moves in question. Or made any comments on my level of proficiency...however be more than happy to match tiffies...or any other plane...with you.

Not from a "I'll show you"...but simply as a little fun...win or lose most folks find me a decent challenge 1 vs 1.

The whole thrust of my post was/is simple...the FM's are all pretty good and that the over quality of the players is quite high. It's a big step up from his previous set up expectations.

Considering I got about 60 kills on my first two week free tour, don't you think I'm probably the best rookie ever and when I get to grips and learn to do the split-s that whole squads will be running as soon as they spot me? I think so.    :p

There is no need to reply. Your silence will confirm it. Thank-you for your cooperation.   :cool:    :cool:    ;)

p.s. to make it fair on everyone else, i'll fight with my undercarruage down next time I'm in the MA.
  :D

I dont like the look were this is going.

But Good Read!  :)

my 0.00000000000000000002 Cents

( It takes time, it takes people, it takes a lot of fun, it takes listening to people and not, it takes learning before u get it correct. )

you can't really see how good Aces High Graphics, game play and also Flight Modeling is until u spent more than 3 months playing with a Squad and learning.

I love the game because of the community, nothink more nothink less.

If it is tell him he's an even worse game designer than he was as a PR flack. Him and that whole frickin' Judy Garland "I've got a 3d game engine and you dad has a barn let's put on a game" bunch at CRS.

hmmm your free 2 weeks (as shown in the AH score pages which anyone can look at)...

Tour 22:
tempest9 has 26 kills, 9 assists
bailed 10, ditched 10, captured 21, death 89.

So (not including ship gunner kills) you shot down 26 (can't see 60 kills anywhere here  :confused: ) but were killed/crashed/ditched/bailed/captured 130 times.  Giving you the whopping k/d ratio of 0.2.

Sounds to me like you're gonna set this game on fire...   :rolleyes:

Free advice, you may take it or leave it:

Stop the empty bragging and start learning how to play the game.  There are a lot of people in here that will help you with everything from setting up your machine to ACM... if you approach it correctly.  Bragging, trolling and rubbishing flight models that you have no understanding of will not gain you their support.

I suggest you take a deep breath, admit to yourself that you are not the best AH pilot in the world, realise though that people here are willing to help you learn to be, then leave this thread and start another saying how much you enjoy playing AH and how much you look forward to getting to know everyone/getting better at the game/etc etc.  We all did this at one stage... (well most of us anyway).

That's good advice, Mako. Don't think it will happen, though. Some enjoy doing, others enjoy talking about doing.

Just want to add my 0.02 to this post.

Alot of you guys are slagging WW2 Online.  Hopefully those who have done so have actually tried it.

I began playing WW2OL from the beginning and had some great times.  But, there were some very trying times with the game also - head shaking bug, CTD issues etc.  For the most part the tech guys have solved many of the issues with the game, but it is still far from perfect.  I was somewhat pissed off when I first started playing the game because it was simply not what was advertised...they released the game in essentially a beta format most likely due to financial duress.  This caused them to lose alot of good people who would not condone the release of an unfinnished product.  Conceptually the idea for WW2OL is brilliant and I hope they manage to stay afloat...but there is still a long hard road ahead.

My advice with respect to WW2OL is this:

If you want to fly...stay with Aces High.  The flight model is terrible in WW@OL.

If you want to have some awesome tank and infantry battles try WW2OL...but be advised...BUY LOTS OF RAM and make sure you exceed the minimum requirements on the game box 10 fold.  Do not expect any Tech support and use the message boards as much as possible when you have difficulty.

Players are very willing to try and help there...Avondell, Bushman etc. are a couple of names you can drop.  Just be careful not to "troll" too much...you will become very unpopular there in a hurry.

Friend FDSS, this has been pointed out very very very many times, and you are still repeating the very things which a lot of pilots in AH, including me, have already answered time and time again.

 
Quote
Cos I can't complete a split-s through rapid E bleed

 A Split-S is an E-gaining move. It is not supposed to BE an E-bleeding move. One needs to bleed E during a Split-S when he needs to keep the radius of the half-loop as tight as possible, and naturally, this means the pitch of the plane is rapidly changing. Rapid change of the pitch - so to say, the angle-of-attack(ever hear this word?) - MOST NATURALLY TENDS to bring the plane into danger of stalling. You bleed E seriously as you pull a tight loop... if this doesn't result in a stall than that is a "Quirk".

I can't bleed E when trying to land at extremely low speeds.

 People bleed E to land. All planes of this era were supposed to land by the main gears touching first, then the tail gear. They land almost level, with the tails side a little but lower. After the main gears contact, do a shallow and gentle bounce, then the main gears and tail gears re-contact the ground almost simultaneously. If you are expecting the plane to do a modern landing style where the nose is much higher than the tail, you are mistaken. There is a fact which confirms this: the 109G2 models were notorious of its main gears snapping under landing pressure. Most incidences of landing crashes were due to main gear failure after first contact - which means, hitorically, main landing gears touched the ground first.

 This is getting damn tired.

 Record the problems you are having and post it, and I'm sure most of the people here will have a lot to say about what you are doing wrong.
