cutting throtle in a jet, yes or no??

Re: cutting throtle in a jet, yes or no??

there are certain situations where some slight throttle cuttage is necessary, but taking out a chopper isn't one of them.

I have to slow down, because

A) Im **** with cannons
B) I play with 150 ms ping, and its awful to get the chopper down in 1 pass without cutting throttle

Granted, I dont slow down to 300, but to about 600- sure, if the situation calls for it. I have never been a stable flyer, that means my plane is very unbalanced and twitchy- thats just my style. Theres only room for accurate cannon use when in jets dogfight. A great chopper pilot will make me use the missiles though.

So, dont call them all newbies. We all have our reasons for doing this.

ping has little to do with it, you just lack skills. :nod:

it does if he don't know how to lead properly to match his ping

LOL, what a crock of sh!t. I can smoke a helo on full boost in one pass with a <100 ping. I need 2 or more with >150. Youre talking out of your ***.

I slow down when taking out choppers. ...Sometimes I dont, I much rather take my time taking calculated swings at it, but most of the time I decrease speed and aim for the c*ckpit. I use the keyboard to fly. No mouse or joystick. And as such aiming is helplessly difficult. I've slow down only to miss on some occasions. Its become completely natural; not even a second guess.

You ever think that some people play on ****ty rigs with ****ty connections? I have to play with goemetry on low and by the time my rig renders the chopper I am almost past it.

So am I a noob because I have to adapt to my disadvatnage or is the noob the guy in the helo that only wants to take out the op chopper and use the tv at distance instead of giving his team close air support to take flags?

ok I see this all the time, people slow down in a jet to take out the chopper for example, I see high ranked people doing this, generals too

what do you think of this???

is it a good strategy or not??

if I can take out a chopper in 1-2 passes with mouse and keyboard at full speed why cant a guy who spend a few thousand hours playing this game do it too

I even use afterburners most of the time to go faster

this is my opinion on this

I think its lame, I've never done it and I will never do it coz I think its low, people who do this piss me of and I tell them they are noobs right after I see them do it

I mean they basicly hover by ur chopper in their jet, the worst thing of all is that they fail to kill you most of the time(its a good thing for me :p but for some reson it pisses me of)

damn I thought I sucked in a jet but after seeing this more and more I consider my self very good, pfft bleep that, I dont even use a joystick

I might not be able to dodge well but I take that chopper out in one pass most of the time and I can say Im pretty good with the cannon, ever armored vehicles are easy targets when u master that canon

but anyways what do you think about this??

oh btw just looked up the stats of a guy that was doing it today

hes a 3 star general and these are his aviator stats

Aviator 547:00:34 42,001 5,155 8.9790 4286


wow

have a slight problem with how others play do we?

I like when they slow down. Easier target to hit. Ive hit plenty with the hydras. Can't even fathom how many times my gunner has taken a jet out with a TV guided missle.

I don't really think it's cheap. If they wanna' slow down and make themselves an easy target, by all means, let them.
