Re: Jets make up for artillery?
If your talking spawn times then yes everything can be predictable to certain extent. I swear I can smell arty after I turn a flag. Or if I hear it go off in the distance, I have a good idea where it's going. Run like hell.
No I meant more of the angle of attack ,frequency and location of attack. You have no idea if where and when most pilots will attack. Not the good ones anyway. They can repeatedly hit you then leave for no reason, known only to them.
I think for the best pilots it's like a kid in a candy store. They attack something and it's fun for a while, then something else catches their eye, or some one spots a juicy tank for them and they get distracted.
I know where tanks can travel, we all know. We all know the barriers of the terrain that "funnel" other vehicles in certain directions and patterns.
But with jets you have to have your head on a swivel. At anytime they can be coming from any direction and any angle. Crappy pilots will try the same thing over and over, or the most obvious routes to targets. But the best pilots always keep you guessing.
To call jets "extremely predictable" in this sense is just ludicrous.
