Flight Assist Combat

Jul 19, 2005 cryptkeeper link
I have noticed maybe its just me. I do much better in combat with FA ON with my flight stick. I supposed its more dog fighting style.
Any one else notice this? Im just looking for suggestions to perform better in the game.

I use FA on most of the time when I'm in light fighter combat, it keeps you in the other guys face and allows at times for you to overwhelm him before he can react.

And some times it just makes it so he can pick you off easy...

Switching between the two gives very good results. Although I only use flight assist off (physics mode) with my joystick. Since it doesn't have any sort of auto-center (force feedback stick), I couldn't do very well in arcade mode.

Yeah, switching is really good, though it takes a lot of practice to be able to dodge flares with FA, it usually requires welltimed switches... I'm working on it

But yeah come hang out with the BLAK crew, you'll have fun.

LIsten to Shape... hang with BLAK.

They'll teach you what you need to know about combat.

Watching one of them hunt queens is like watching art.

EDIT: guess I should have phrased that better... teh queen's escort.

Hunting queens? Just backroll and shoot... That's not art that's just rolling bab'e.

Now once queens start toggling auto aim off.... THEN I'll be scared...
