Really? Your 1.3 ratio in choppers makes me think different. You likely spin in a circle at a single elevation and get TV'd down a lot.Zodiaccup wrote:

A decent gunner won't have big problems to hit you while you're doin it.Not wrote:
Not it's a good move. Who told you it wasn't?
OK I mean, if it takes you a minute to finish the roll and you drop 100m in altitude then sure it's bad. But if you can make a fast barrel roll and change direction it's very hard for a TV missile or a jet to hit you unless someone expert is using those.
I hope you are not judging a book by it's cover.Not wrote:

The only bad evasive maneuver is the one you don't do. If it works, it's good.

I can't just give it away lol, but in effect it's sliding one direction, and when the missile nears, slow down hard. I don't know why, but I've watched many badasses miss with that move. I think it has to do with the fact that people are correcting to predict where you'll be, and when they overshoot, it's just about impossible to get back.
I'm an idiot though, so you may not want to trust me, haha.
Try it out and get the feel. My goal is to idle hard when their missile is past the point of correcting back, in other words, pretty damn close!
I've seen people try that. Then I usually watch my driver kill assists rack up. They probably weren't as good at it as you may be but, every time I see someone try a change of direction it just doesn't happen fast enough to trick a good gunner. I'm sure the other pilot, like I said, wasn't as experienced doing it, or didn't even know what he was doing. But I've never seen this work. I'll have to give that a try.Ubersturmbannfuhrer wrote:

+1 for a very nice evasion move, works most of the time!!!!!

I've also noticed that some of the best can miss a simple strafe if you're moving really fast and then almost stop. They fired the TV in the mind that they're going to need to pull of something good to hit you, when if you stop, they're thinking "omg easy" and miss.oChaos.Haze wrote:
