Training Saturday
Teacher 1:
Teacher 2:
There's no special Requirements for becoming a Teacher, other than finding Eric IRL and Shoving a Creme Pie in his face.
Just Kidding. You just have to know what you're doing.
It will be Hosted on the WW3 Server at 7:30 EST (GMT -5) every Other Saturday that WW3 Weekends aren't occuring.

WW3 PLZ
You know the WW3 weekends happen on a fortnightly basis, so this should fill the weekends without the event. This way, you can train the newbz one week, and see their new skills being put the test the following week with the veterans.

Re: Training Saturday
All this is why I'm using big, slow or ww2 aircrafts most of the time. Just can't control a jet with my mouse...

Re: Training Saturday
Using a mouse will put you at a disadvantage from the start... It's just doesn't give you as fine control as a joystick does. However, it's not impossible for you to adjust to it and be as good as most joystick users. Before I got my stick, I was using mouse and Mav/Bomb managed to teach me to be alright.Mobiyus wrote:I am in desperate need of dogfighting training. I was in the furball on 42s yesterday and I did not do a single kill. Jets controls are just too sensitive, having hard time simply be ''in plane'' with target aircraft. And when i'm in the same plane, i can't out-turn and get behind it, even if we have the same aircraft. Target will indubitably get on my six within a few seconds, and stay there 'till I'm dead

That furball on 42S was a lot of fun. You seemed to be moving slower (TAS) and not turning as sharp (flaps and angle). Remember, all of the good dog fighters in that situation use the exact same setup:
stock F-16
30% fuel
Flaps at 100% when trying to outmaneuver your opponent, 0% when chasing or need speed.
No missiles, bombs, rockets, fuel tanks... Anything at all.
The reason that we're considered good is because we've practiced countless hours, against each other, with the above setup. It's like second nature to us.
Now Mobiyus. Your mouse control needs practice by the sounds of it. Try to practice fine mouse movements by doing carrier landings, flying upside-down under bridges, flying around ground objects, flying upside-down as close as you can along the runway... Things like that.

Re: Training Saturday
But i digress.
If you come across a chance to get a Joystick, Do it. It doesn't have to be a Thrustmaster or a big Setup like some Simulation freaks have. it could be as simple as mine with just my cheapo joystick. That and flying around with a mouse and keyboard isn't all that healthy or ergonomic, especially on a laptop. In the end, I suggest that if you can't afford a joystick for the time being, follow what MR said and save up your money for one.
Good Luck, Mobiyus.

Re: Training Saturday
In the meantime, well I'll just practice, and time will make me better I guess. I will participate in those training sessions for sure.

Re: Training Saturday
We talked about fuel, AB, flaps and waht to do after the merge. Within another 10 deaths he was able to fly in-plane with me and I was killing him with only 2% fuel left. HUGE improvement!
We then practised aim with me in the Arbalest which was also good. I must admit, I see Mobiyus as being one of the new up and coming dogfighers worth watching. With more practice I'm sure he can become a serious dogfighting machine.
