Good times on the server tonight

Yes, I did get hit by your arty dill. Went on a low altitude bombing run and got caught in the upblast of a shell.
Learned that san is a wily lil bastard in that AA of his. Hide and go seek near the end of round 2 was awesome.

I should learn to not stay up so late though.

lol. Thanks for the thought.

And yes VOIP is fixed. Although, being on TS at the same time as most of the opposing team led to me hearing about their tactics.

Well, isn't the point of teamspeak is to hear your TEAM? Not like, every single person on the channel or whatever? Can't you set it up where one side gets one chat room etc? What a shitty program if you can hear everybody.

Yes you can get in different channels, and with team randomization off for the most part people could stay in a channel with their team.

Lulz, I forgot to mention that I led to timantha's death a godly number of times.

Let's see,
  • I bailed out of the F-15 when I couldn't shake a fighter and forgot to yell "Bail out!"
  • He spawned in the bomber right as I was shot down
  • Got shot down with me numerous times
  • Lagged as I lined him up for an LGM shot (I tried it 3 times, and he still couldn't get the shot off )
  • Dropped bombs on a freshly neutralized base, killing him and the enemy

I'm such a good teamplayer.

Oh yeah, and I may (may) have rammed the Cobra crews with my J-10 on two separate occasions.

I love lagging at the worst moments.

Lol, ya I might have had a lock on you with the linebacker one of those times, and I guess you figured you might as well go out with a boom and take some unsuspecting enemy lives with ya Thanks though, saved me missles

I dunno. I can't line up and fire off machine gun rounds fast enough to destroy helis. It seems that by the time I'm lined up perfectly, it's too late for me to take shots.

Grah tbh.

Oh, and my highlight yesterday was hearing Undetected_Killer saying "Excuse me" over VOIP, then having his F/A-18 swoop over my F-15's canopy to reach the Airfield for ammo first.

I have the exact same problem. One thing I've done is look behind me when I go by the heli to see where it is headed. That helps me line up my next run. (Spotting it would be even better.) Also I now use mouse & kbd when I run at helis (rather than all kbd, which is what I usually do) because I can make finer adjustments.

I still suck at it.

You do decrease your thrusters a bit right? Slow enough so you can make adjustments to line up but fast enough to keep from stalling? And of course always come in at their side or rear and from a little above, because must gunners if they can see u, will of course get a tv shot off and try to hit u...I find that after they know they are gettin hit switch to missiles and fire some off immediately. Don't even wait for a lock. Being so close, I think you can actually hit them with locking? I haven't flown in awhile though

YOur right, who needs a jet that attacks heli's and other jets. I say fly as low to the ground as u possibly can with afterburners on and try to ram ANY ground vehicle you can. Preferably that chinese paper-thin transport truck. If you did that to me i would lol so hard.

wtf? I spot the hell out of enemy aircraft, every time I see it. You'd better have some evidence if you're going to make a scandalous accusation like that.

I slow down a little bit when shooting helis, but it is very dangerous to slow down too much if there are enemy jets in the air or mobile AA on the ground. It makes it easier for jets to get behind you and it makes AA missiles much more accurate.

I have tried to shoot missiles at helis and they just don't hit if the heli uses flares. Zenmaster's guide says they'll hit if you release them very very close to the heli, but I'm not willing to run such a high risk of ramming. Coming from above is a good idea. I always worry about the heli killing me with missiles or a TV if they see me coming.

I used to have similar problems with gunning down choppers. My problem was i would wait to line up the target then start shooting. I would never do enough damage and would fly past them with out really doing much. Now, I just start shooting in the general direction once it's infront of me. I find that I track the target better when I know bullets are flying out of the nose. And switching to missles at the last second and firing does hit the chopper most of the time but you almost have to ram it to work. I played a couple of nights ago, it was real fun. I wish I had more time or that the server would have players when I do have time.

don't forget about those amazing gunners in the Cobra.
