Re: Jet Flying Question And Answer
Chris, like I said, I dont do it everytime but it is a very, very effective tool for the tool box. And yes, if im under 400 feet it is a bit harder to break away and get up to 800 meters in time to out run your missles, but like I said, I do this when I have altitude to work with. What you are saying is 100% correct... if your at low altitude, if you maintain a high altitude there is nothing they can really do. Points of vulnerability are obviously rearms and repair runs, but If you time those after you gun down the other jet you should be ok.
I know what your talking about chris as far as, catching people when they try to do a split s and climb to do the strato run and run out of after burner, I catch them all the time doing this, you hit the nail on the head on what they are doing wrong, if you have the time to do a split s your too low in altitude, second thing is you dont have to hold after burner you just have to tap it and youll be fine, like I said earlier, there are finer points to this that are essential in making it successful, but if you do it correctly you have a very good defensive maneuver. I usually see guys trying to get up behind me for a lock way before they get there letting me start this before I'm in trouble. As for flying against noobs, that isnt a factor here, I've flown against my freind just trying to see what works and doesnt and he's pretty good. I fly in rubber ducky against some better pilots also, and it works. BTW chris, what you call generic is amazingly simple yet effective.
On another note have you noticed lately some pilots altering their control file in bf2 so they can actuall turn sharper in a F-15 than you can in a J-10? I saw a guy yesterday that could get in a tight turn and be on your six within one 360 degree turn, I thought it was kind of strange so the next round I switched teams and flew as his gunner, he didnt cut his throttle and then gun it to tighten the turn it was just how he turned. So I ask him, "you moddified your control file I see" at which point he says yes. This guy wasnt good mind you because I kept getting behind him and strafing him, even on fushe pass where I killed him over and over with the F-18 and he had a J-10 but I've never seen someone turn like that in playing this game for over a year and a half. Have you seen anyone else pull this crap?
