My fav mission is Dogfight...but found...

I let them in air an drop bombs so they can df.....ok I may get couple hits..or wen they shootin at me...

I use a manoeuvre....ilmann loop...hi lo speed scissors...or split s..

get on there tail ..soon as do this an start hittin em......they auto destroy...to stop me getting kill

wow do people really need to resort to such bad play.....

wen I in bombin game an ave to put up with all head on attackin...I stick it out ...
even as most u no I suck at head on.....

ty...needed to ave quick rant

Everything old is new again . . . Bubi was famous for doing that to protect his precious KDR in all kinds of games.
.

srry if topic been done b4...just had df game an 3/4 players did this ..as soon as got on there tails....

I really enjoy gud free for all df game.....an was ruined a bit cos this.....an made change from me getting my rear kicked in bombin game

as for kdr...an all that ..it nice to do well..but not that bothered bout it.....


to me I enjoy gud game...played in gud spirit

I hadn't seen much of that since bubi left . . . sad to hear it's catching on again. I find it's hit or miss with the DF matches for me; most of them get ruined by people spawn camping for easy kills, but every now and then I luck into one that's worth staying in.
.

yes ...normally ignore tanks in these games.....but had to kill 2 tanks..as was they were on runway..tryin shoot ppl spawning...thankfully they wasn't to gud shot in tank

In Elite if you try to autodestruct you have to wait 15 seconds.

You don't have to auto-destruct, you can just pull a bubi and nosedive into the ground. As long as that fourth round doesn't hit, it's a crash not a kill.

Very true.

Happened by accident to me and some others in Elite last night. One time were turn fighting and I think we both hit the same tree, and I was one shot away from getting a kill.

But it's sad when people intentionally do it.

I don't like turn-fighting much because my ipad in it's otterbox is very heavy, so after awhile my arms start to get tired. Easier if you're using a keyboard or control pad.

cheers eagle..ty for replies....like sound off 15 second penalty for self kill....


I hopin to sort elite out 2morro

How do you execute a Split S without having a rudder to slide the tail?

I y=use throttle ..slow down ...so they over shoot....

srry jpg pics want upload ...what size they got to be got to be

In Elite you get points for hits, not just for kills... So even if they manage to preserve their kdr you can still get something for your efforts.

Split S doesn't require rudder.

You're right. Thought about that yesterday afternoon after I posted. It's a throttle adjustment.
Long days, short brain, and the 4 living brain cells I have left were having a ping pong match!

Not just Bubi did that to protect his precious KDR... Calle did that lots of times when I got on his six.. after awhile they both just started quitting games when I would show up as RED

Throttle adjustment? All you do is roll inverted then do a half loop out.

You do need rudder for a proper WW1 Immelmann turn. In aerobatics however an "Immelmann is basically the reverse split s, half loop and roll out at the top.

But don't you throttle back on the down leg then back up when you level out?

In a real life rickety old biplane yes, but only to avoid overstressing the airframe.

I was taught the split S was used to disengage from aerial combat, but in df land I have used it many times to get the advantage on a passing red........

Lol that would make sense! Only ever flown a Cessna 150 years ago and never had the guts to try anything like that. Sure as heck not gonna try it in the powered parachute!

yes..i apoligised as ...was thinkin off hi /lo yoyo...an scissors ..my mistake

I like the 152s they are fun to fly.

However here in the MileHigh city during the summer months we can't fly them as they don't have enough power for the thin air.
