Combat maneuvers

Post by Sparrow » Sat Aug 30, 2008 12:44 pm

Is there a guide that gives a simple decription and examples of all the well known combat maneuvers?
I'm only here for the beer.

Hi, theres a reasonable guide in the game itself - under Training you'll find a series of narrated tracks.

Of course these don't include "the Rabitski roll" or the "Gadje gazunder", but you'll find out about those soon enough :evil:

... or the Sneaky Russian "Land at the other guy's airfield in your He-111 and strafe everyone who spawns" gambit.

I try to be "instinctive" as possible in combat empty mind ZEN stuff and all that, usually I fly well, sometimes not so well. But I always learn from the experience, thinking about what your going to do next can sometimes cloud the issue ........... Was a martial artist in my younger days, so a lot of mind training techniques have stayed with me. Funny what sometimes can bubble to the surface when your "in the zone."
