Blackout Woes

I used to fly a lot of 1 on 1 with DMF (leviathon) & Jase back in the TA when I was a trainer...both of them could do that to me pretty easily...I could fight em ok IF I survived the merge...over time I picked up alot of intuitive feel for what they did but still could never get beyond 2 or 3 out of 10 (at best). I don't have a clue how you "teach"...or learn that ability to put your plane in the right spot for a shot that way...I can usually get to 600-1000 with a good positional edge...but its the bogies mistake from there that gives me the shot solution.

As for DA vs MA I certainly agree...totally different for most folks.

Generally I try not to black out at all while in persuit. Try dropping into a lag persuit to avoid excessive Gs, which allows you to stay with your target AND have more energy then him.

To ALL of the helpful, knowledgeable, innovative & experienced
AH Gamers I salute u for providing me w/ur prompt responses re
my query of Blacking Out.

Ur info was of a tremendous help in making me understand that
Blackouts are a fact, & no amount of scaling is going to alter that
point ... I'll just have to accept it & make the very best of it, some
of u have been especially helpful in providing me w/additional
info in order for me to minimize my blacking out thusly making the
game MORE enjoyable  :)   Thx much 4 ur altruism & unselfishness

I especially enjoy ur discussion as to HOW & WHY the pilots did
WHAT they did & their tactics, ur recommendations are greatly
appreciated as I learn much from ur wise expertise & advice.

In San Francisco, at work, I enjoyed watching the Blue Angels do
their practice flights over the Bay Area in preparation for tomor-
row's 3 P.M. "Fleet Week Fly-over", the Canadian Snowbirds are
participating likewise .... it'll be a fun day for all  :D

Cheers,

Happy1  :D

black-outs part of the deal.  you get used to them and can use them to your advantage.
