delta7 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Why not try the mustang with the predictor gunsight this will show correct lead required and .50s are good to practice with My gunnery sucks big time, even tho I have all the manuals and practice. I have got people to send me tracks as well to companiar their line up of targets and I still can't nail down what makes someone successful at it. When I flew online a lot I resigned myself to very dedicated defensive tactics, hitting from height and only making one pass then extending and not getting involved in turn fights I survived a lot and over time had a healthy kill\death ratio, but takes dedication and isn't as much fun as getting wired in. Good teamwork defiantly helps as we saw on Saturday, the pair that stuck closer together generally did better Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted January 20, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 20, 2016 Nice idea Dave, we can record some tracks of the Mustang site in action for reference lead : ) I would also like to practice 1 vs 2 with the singleton attacking the pair with an E advantage, followed by the pair turning their defensive position into a kill.

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 23, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 23, 2016 Good show today... good fun.... too nackered to write up anything more sensible... Could we please have the next session either one hour later, or three hours earlier? Quote
T_O_A_D Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 You did this today? What time? I've been sitting here working on the pC all morning, had I'd of known :-/ Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 23, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 23, 2016 Sorry 'bout that Todd! The session today was from 14:00 - 16:00 GMT. Preparations are being made to announce the next session in the banner on the forums... Quote
Ovy Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 ~S~ All Today 's session was mostly on doing 2 vs 1 and 2 vs.2 with similar airplanes. To make it even more challenging Painless winged with Sid against already teamed Ft & Ovy. The result were a couple of fights with well learned lessons on trading altitude vs speed and fine coordinating of wing crossing. Thaks all for participating (and even watching / listening - Nick), especially mr. P for sharing his expertise and Sid for taking it for so long ...) sorry m8.. An unofficial practicing session is planned for this Wednesday , 19.30 UTC Please post here your intentions Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted January 24, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 24, 2016 I can make that Ovy : ). What would you like to concentrate on m8 ? Quote
Ovy Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Depending on how many will attend and since the purpose of what we're doing is to "solidify" flying and fighting as a wing i would propose , just to see the progress and hearing FT's and yours comments if this training pays off - one mission 2 vs 1 with a stronger aircraft -like 109 F4 / G2 , EA in advance - purpose for the wing to avoid head-on and manoeuvre to shoot him down without losing any plane - 2 vs 2 missions with scope our wing to practice one time attacking as a wing one EA and second mission to try each going for one EA...you and Sid will try to "trap" us in too big separation or sandwhich or else But once again i would like to hear FT ideas or you can set the scope . After we feel a bit comfty i would like to apply wingman ground attack in future sessions RSVP ~S~ Quote
Sweper Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I badly need more flight hours. I am in. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted January 25, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 25, 2016 It was obvious that FT and Ovy had been a pair for a while because they coordinated very well. Noticeably better than Sid and I in the first 2 vs 2. I know it would be difficult to arrange because of attendance issues but I wonder if we could ( whenever possible) establish regular pairs who always fly together not just in these practice sessions but in regular coops ? Regular pairs could also form flights of four when appropriate of course. I often pair with FT for ground attack but we don't always stick close together after the first attack run because that arrangement has not been fixed. I would really like to try this idea if folks are up for it ? We could be a little flexible and have maybe two or three potential partners each so something can be arranged for each coop session? The main idea being to try and pair up for the evening as a priority, to get used to watching out for each other. We might not be that great at it to start with because of misunderstandings, interrupted comms and poor decisions but after a while things would gel and the results would reflect that I'm sure. Quote
Ovy Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Got it Mick ! Press Shift +B brings up Fixed and Gyroscopic reticle. Press it twice you only got the Gyro predictor. As i said it before and won't stop repeating it's all about practice. Everything...from basic to the most difficult tasks. For almost all individual skills one can practice alone or in DF / hyperlobby against drone targets or humans and getting improved . But, for wingmanship you GOT to have two...who will try to bear in mind all the time "i 'm not flying alone". And it is not simple to think "like twins" - where's my man, what is he doing , how to match his actions , i lost eyes on you - dammit ! And after just a very few sorties both find out how is his mate turning, exteeending etc. Anyone is more than welcome to these sessions , either pairing up for good or for fun , or playing aggressor. As for the GA - even better if there's more than one wing coordinating the attack . So , at least we are three...for the time being . I suggest to talk it over tomorrow or Wed evening FT & Mick?

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted January 25, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 25, 2016 To use the words of Status Quo...... "Whatever you want" or Cilla Black.......... "What's it all about....... Ovy? " lol See you Wednesday m8. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 25, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 25, 2016 Rgr... Whenever Ovy's around when I'm around, we'll wing up, fighters, bombers, bait... whatever... Add some Painless to the mix, and there you are, a three ship Bi(e)g(o) Wing! 1 Quote
Ovy Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Tonight...tonight...oh hoh.. I'll be there half an hour before - if can join we could set up tomorrow's session and some (more) practice ) ~S~ Quote
