    Me, too. My Kill Ratio is going way down with so many good opponents!

    But it's good fun.

    Keebler, want to do a peaceful fly-by when we see each other to show we can co-exist w/out worrying about the other? I tried that with you twice the other day, but you did not seem to understand.... heh ;)

    Or... join SAB :)

    Unfortunately you have to have a picture of your Profile but maybe you can talk to H0130j03 about your problem but I'll vouch for you to come join :p!

    Kunning, if you're too lazy to read about SAB, then why do you want in? It seems as if you want in, but you don't care what it is.

    You have to at least read the stuff we have written. You have to understand what it is to be SAB. And then you have to behave like a SAB member once you're in (which is not hard: be honorable and nice).

    Too lazy, sheesh.

    I found TA by googling Skies of Glory and then looking at some of the posts... You guys are good flyers always a challenge. I really do not like the rocketers! They have no skill and wack you in the middle if a df! ARGH! Had some good dfs with yous over the last couple of days... I changed to 'Phobos' when I got the new Hein for free ;-) I like the zero better but Hein is good for h2h and taking out rocketers quickly...

    If I do not want to challenge you it is my habit to do a first h2h without firing... If you fire back I will see you as fair game :) I know in FFAs we will get some random kills in messy DFs... That is OK if status is low...

    One question I struggle to get the rear view when I use the raddar... Easy to do side views but seeing my six seems impossible... Any pointers?

    Sometimes I get to the rear view and sometimes I can't. Need to practice doing it correctly. But everything is happening so fast in online fight, where's the time to check your six? I rely on radar.

    Aye, Phobos, I popped on for a few minutes a while ago (after seeing your first post here), and tried to fly past you to show I wasn't going to shoot at you. I never really found a good angle for a passive h2h (head2 head), but I did sorta fly past your nose once.

    What is the rear view you speak of? That view that always keeps the nearest enemy in view? I never use that unless I'm trying to take pictures :)

    You know, Phobos... we talk all kinds of tips and tactics in our own private Touch Arcade social group (Sgarrista Air Brigade).... What do you think of that?

    Hi ya again Capt Fear,

    Sorry again about engaging you at every flyby, I can be real slow on the uptake sometimes, just ask Frumius!......Alexander Hamilton! :) (Frumius knows what that means :) )


    Keebler,

    I will personally buy you EVERY plane if you join! And that's not just cause I'm terrified of the Keebler Kruger either. There is a whole nother world over in the SAB section, and it would be fun to see you over there as well! (it's where all the good stuff takes place dude.... don't tell Capt Fear, but we like to talk about him all the time:p )

    I prefer Keebler to stay out of SAB because I still haven't beat him in the kill rate. I want to decisively overtake him in the ingame ranking everytime we meet. :D

    I was just joking. But my kill rate slowed down by 80% when there is a SAB in the room.

    Someone has said before if everyone join SAB, we will not have anyone to shoot at. :rolleyes:

    TP room is more fun than FFA

    If anyone think u get more kills faster in FFA than in TP room. Think again.

    I find in TP room that there is a fixed region for each team for the planes to reappear after they are shot down. So at game start, the key to having high kills in quick time is to reach to the enemy's base and held the dogfight there.

    At game start, both teams will fly towards each other. When a team keep winning the joustings, the team will be progressing towards the enemy base until they reach it. Once there, the enemy will reappear nearby at slow speed, making them extremely easy targets.

    So in TP, there is an objective to achieve and that is to lead your team into the enemy base for easy killings. Of course when u're shot down, you have a looong distance to travel from your base to the enemy's. That's when the enemy have the chance to counter attack and try to progess into your team's base. That's where the class1 planes with 4stars speed rating have the advantage.

    Now, doesn't this seems more fun than the FFA. ;)

    Can anyone tell me what is that P40 lookalike that have white patch on top of their brown wings? I keep seeing these planes since day one. P40 has only single white stripe per wing.

    Shern, I like your observation about how the game will migrate from one spawn-base to the other. Get a few of us on a team, and we could keep it in their neighborhood for a good long time, I bet :)

    I had once staying in the enemy's base for quite long time and have 20 kills with no loss on my plane. With zero that has the shortest turning radius, I can search out the enemies fast when they just reappear and they will not have time to increase their speed.

    And when u join a TP room and find that the furball is just nearby, it means the enemy has reached or is near your base. You got to help your team to push the enemies back to their base by killing all of them first, and then your team can rush towards the enemy base.

    So there is a sense of mission in TP, as compared to FFA which is a mindless and messy killings of one another.

    OK, which one of you guys just went undercover in the AA (aviators anonymous) room in one of the new Hiens?? To Whomever this was, I just trying to get my quota but you obviously had other ideas about that, as you proceeded to kill everything that moved! :) I'm posting this here so that everyone (Keebler..and Cpt, Fear) can see it, and so I can say to them, that was absolutely incredible! That was fun! With a capital F! :)

    Btw, I wrote 'AA' for the room name is because I am in a rush to create a FFA room and could not think of any interesting name. I never expect AA has lasted for few days already. I have played twice when there are only 3 of us in that room. I though I have the honor to close my own room. Then 4 players entered simultaneously and filled up the room again.
