    flying the f18

    heres my story that happened yesterday when i was playing esu kubra.

    so i was on the f18, and mec had f18. ad then BAM!! i got a mig-29 behind me. PEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHPPPP( sound that goes when their locked on u)
    so i think "oh ****, im gonna die" so i do an evasive move where i turn the plane upside down and push my joystick all the way up and to the right. this makes the plane move in a way i cant describe, all i know is it makes it almost imposible fo another AIRPLANE to hit u with a misisle. so the guy shoots off his 6 missiles, they all miss. about 20 seconds later, i had lost him, he goes "pilot in f18 is a hacker" LOL, i felt good for being called a hacker, and then i went and typed "LOL" and called him a noob. so we encounter each other again. i do the exact same thing when he is behind me, and all his missiles again miss me. i keep doing this ad hes shooting me with his cannon, he finally breaks off (i have about 4 bars, red zone) and says "my missiles went through him" and also said something about cannons i cant remember, something stupid like hois cannons werent doing anything to me.

    well, it just felt good to be called a hacker, and i got to say im not the best at flying planes, i still have to try the maneuver on the eagle, and on the f35, see if it helps againts j10's. well thats about it. and yeah, the maneuver doesnt work against mobile aa, frucking mobile aa's piss me off, i cant evade their missiles, and they shoot me down most of the time. does anyone kno any good maneuvers to counter AA?

    againts AA? throw your flares :p

    nice story btw.

    if you want to evade missiles go up and down the whole time, and put your camera on F11(so you see your plane's nose) so you can see where teh missiles are

      Well it seems to me that more and more pilots are figuring out these manuvers. Kinda pisses me off really haha. Heres an idea as someone gets a lock on you go into a barrel roll and throw flares. It will confuse them hopefully long enough for you to get away. Also try spinning and hitting the up arrow. Hasnt let me down yet.

                  Gee, I guess you don't understand anything.

                  What I meant by that is like, "BIG thanks".

                  But to an unsupirior mind like yours, I wouldn't suspect you'd understand xD J/K J/K :laugh:

                  I should be the one to shut up though as you're 21 and im 14 *realizes he got own3d*

                    Yes Bradley, but you are giving him 'BIG thanks' because he did a basic flight manouvere? Hmmm...now explain to me the basics for, lead pursuit, lag pursuit and pure pursuit, and I may respect your knowledge.

                      I've seen this manuever called the Wheelersman Turn. i have no idea why tho, its more of a flip/barrel roll

                      (PS: either im not doing it right, or it doesnt work against J-10s very well)

                      this is more effective against the bombers, and the MEC fighter

                        You're in an F18, that thing dodges missiles flying in straight lines.

                        If you want to put this to the test, use an F-35 or Mig.

                            I don't understand your question.

                            You want me to tell you the definiton of something?

                            Explain better please.

                            (Oh and by the way I was kidding and I guess you don't know what that is do you?)
