Nice flying!
A question: I can't callibrate my damn joystick to keep the crosshair centered, so all my jet does is crash straight into the groud. How do you do it?

If you drop two bombs on a full health tank you will only take about 95% of it`s health and the tanker will bail, one at the time ftw! What i do is just drop one bomb and switch to missile mode before the other bomb releases, that way you dont have to think about: first drop two bombs, then release, pick up one, release, pick up two... you know the drillturkeybacon wrote:
Yeah in that one case, I knew the pilot had no lock, and the guys on the ground would cap refinery if I didnt bomb them. That jet didnt kill me, I got on his ass after the bombing run, then a helo rammed me before I could kill the jet. If I make another one (doubt it) I'll show some kills against J-10's, I get a bunch on dragon valley, not many people know how to fly on that map. And our server allows carrier rape, so half the time they are on a straight vector for the boat, you just gotta intercept them high and behind, easy kill in the F35 (usually).
edit - I started dropping single bombs recently, kinda took some time off flying for a bit though. I dont like how you need to turn back on tanks half the time to drop a second bomb, but when you kill them with one bomb its obviously worth it because you get one more. It took me a while to realize you need to empty your bomb load before rearming, or it switches you back to regular mode. I was always getting pissed and saying fuck it, using 2 bombs. Now I know..
wow.... that was really good +1
however... I will let you know that i have no respect for anyone who uses the F35

Its good but not amazing, when I rape as I do a lot, I get 5 kills every sweep. I am a shit pilot at flying, but pwn at killing people .

yeah, but I didnt want to include a bunch of carrier strafes. Pretty boring stuff, I also fly on smaller servers (not 64 players), I'm sure you get a shitload of noobs on the deck in 64 player wake but I dont really care. I'd rather get good at hitting jeeps on dragon valley, helos in one pass, stuff like that. Carrier rape is good for the stats but it puts me to sleep...specops10-4 wrote:

It depends on your angle, I kill full health tanks in one drop (2 bombs). I practice alot off-line on dragon valley, and can drop that one tank at the power station pretty consistently from full health, in one pass. 2 bombs on the top of a tank = death. Dive steeper, they land closer and blow up anything with a direct hit. Even still, single bomb mode seems better and when I start flying again I'll use that. I just learned that trick the other day, where you drop one bomb and switch to missiles putting you in single mode.Fredrik wrote:

Not nearly enough usage of the Fly By view. Complete and utter ignorance for enemy jets: you see some ground targets and completely stop dodging him. All you do to loose enemy jets are capability-based maneauvers. Footage of raping enemy airfields makes me fall asleep.

i will however give u praise for using the f35b on wake...
Nope, not a full health one, never, sure flamekill, yes, but you give the tanker the opportunity to bail, u wont with single bombs.turkeybacon wrote:

I just passed 100h, so yaaaaah for me, I am now a Vet Aviator.1 And I can recall maybe three times at Wake where I bombed/buzzed the carrier deck. I've been on the opposite side too much, and I think it takes no skill or honour to rape or arty the carrier. I've only done it when really really furious, like after a swap when they were doing it to us. I don't agree with spawn-raping.turkeybacon wrote:

Hmm, as I think about it, I'm not the Virgin Mary or anything. I have bombed the carrier at Oman before. But only after we've pushed them off land, so that's different. Same with surrounding the WoodYard as USA on Dragon Valley with armor, I've done that. But it's different if you've played the enemy into only one spawn point. If the game only gives them one uncap, I say give them a chance, it's a game and the "enemy" are other guys like you and me, just trying to have a good time.
Anyway, not hijacking the topic. I thought it was a good first video, and showed some flying skillz.

1. Holy CRAP! Is it a l-o-n-g way from Basic Aviator (15 mins) to Veteran Aviator (100 h) OR WHAT!
