What I don't get is why is my device better. I can kill most head on, and 50% of turn fights I lose. Am I a lowlife, am I a bad player with only a superior device? Personally I kind of feel offended when other trash windows players. I rather not feel like everyone hates me just because I use windows on a CPU. :S

Simply stating that as a former Windows user and obviously not a hater, I will say as I have said before, Windows is indeed a superior device due to processing speeds and being an overall much more powerful device. I can solidly say this because I have put in more time on Windows and I haven't owned one in 4 months.
Ignorance has a way of enlightening us all.

I am a windows user as well. I cannot even imagine trying to play dogfight on a phone, the screen is so small! Blah.

Head on I am, well, just awful. Turn fighting is much better but I did some research and have some pretty tried and true tricks. Do I out turn folks? I don't see it. In all the basic flying-in-circles portion everyone seems to have about the same radius as me.

I have no idea how the other devices work but I can say when I hit my trusty arrow key, the aircraft goes just where I want it to go. Maybe that's the advantage....

Pie, I don't hate you because you are a Windows player. I'm sure I can think of other reasons. lol

I dont hate anyone, exept that guy that was teamkilling me to try to get me to team kill him so he could tank at our base and blow blue hangars up. But back to windows... I have never used it to play so I cant really compare exept for what I see. Wig has said it before and now it seems true for me also "I can spot yall a mile away" There is certain things I see that just turns that little windows light in my head on every time. Now for me it seems windows has its disadvantages too as it seems yall have no head on ability until you get real close BUT to me this disadvantage isnt all that bad because with some when your bobbing and weaving to try to get close, now here is where I strongly dislike not hate you, your plane moves unnatural and it is very hard to lead you with the crosshairs to shoot you. When I say unnatural I mean way different from the thousands of other planes I have flown against from day one. Now in a turn fight its like when you turn its either all or none. Thats the icing on the cake. Remember we at M.O.M love cake. Thats where I guess some people dont like windows. Where I need to tilt my device 90 degrees and have 90 degrees of diffent turn (ability, speed, radius, I cant find the best word to describe it) it seems windows goes straight to kiss your own a55 turning and its real hard to follow suit. Now I dont shy away from getting in a turn fight with windows users, although I should. I have found that even with someone like Zebra, I can get on his 6. I usually costs me about 5 planes to do it though :woohoo:

Any way my point is I Love windows users. You make my game better trying to shoot at you.

DAVY says, yes WIG sure made you a nice banner. Lol lol

My dogfight skills have gotten better but the other day I fought you about 5 times or more and lost every time lol lol. The only thing I can do against a player like you is bob and weave and try to tie up your time. I enjoyed it though as you are always fun to play with, WIG is another one that I cannot touch. You guys are just plain old good.

I do win almost all the dogfights now with a lot of other players but still cannot touch some of the major dogfighters. I hear stories of some folks being able to successfully dogfight against you guys using the ipad.

For some reason I cannot figure out how to get you off my butt, I can get behind another player and he is able to escape from me but I cannot escape a superior player like you. However I keep on trying lol lol.

One of these days I'm gonna figure it out and I'm coming after you. :woohoo: :woohoo:

I would like to hear from other ipad users about your experiences in dogfight expertise.

Def an AWE5OME banner Ka5ey!



Always fun dogfighting with y'all.. win or lose! But honestly, it's not all the device... a player of recent topics here in the forum (I won't mention his name) ran up against me in a mission a few days ago. He was quite surprised when I killed him again & again at will and begged me to teach him as I was the first person he said that he wasn't able to outfly in a dogfight scenario (Yes, he's on Windows too) I told him sorry, but since he's not £afayette I couldn't do that but I did give him some tips & reading material to checkout.
Well he was finally able to shoot me a couple of times.. of course I was bingo ammo & trying to get back to my base for more or carrying 2 bombs when he shot me. :P
But if it was all the device (as many of you seem to think) then Windows players would rule the skies in any non bombing missions... but that's just not true.. the pilot that is arguably perhaps the top dogfighter in the game currently, Ziza, plays on either his Ipad or IPhone.. so that shoots that theory down in flames.

Please dont think im a windows hater because im not. I run across people every day and spend 15 minutes trying to get a shot on and cant that I know dont use windows, so I know very much so that the pilot is a lot. I enjoy flying with anybody that enjoys flying with me.

Windows has that one thing that if exploited makes it tough, not impossible. I havent had the pleasure to fly with Ziza very much so I cant use him as a comparison but I remember Blue Max used an i pad and he was very near impossible to kill in a turn fight. It has a lot to do with who is in controll.

There is one who I mentioned to him about a week ago that his flying style very near mirrored yours Zeb and Im willing to bet that is the one who asked you for help. If it is I guarantee wether or not you gave him any tips he is going to figure it out and be tough, heck he is already tough.
