J5_Hotlead Posted November 13, 2019 Report Posted November 13, 2019 Last Sunday, I had the opportunity to hop on Jasta 5's Flying Circus server and test out the Arras Map for the first time. Typically, numbers are around 50 or so people for this event (I have seen server logs listing as many as 120 for one mission last month! ). This particular week, numbers were more like 30 or so, but I still had some super cool fights! And hey, just flying around the Arras Map was so much fun in and of itself. Here's one particular dogfight I got into over the mud:   You can view the full livestream here: Flying Circus looks to be taking off gents! I'm super excited to see what the community does with it in the future! Stuka, Klaiber, -Hawkeye- and 3 others 6 Quote

Barton Posted November 16, 2019 Report Posted November 16, 2019 Very good handling of that fight until you got fixated on the second Se.5. Perfect example of why you don't try to turn fight in an energy fighter. These guys didn't make it easy for you but you made it look pretty easy. Good job switching targets as necessary!

-Hawkeye- Posted November 16, 2019 Report Posted November 16, 2019 This guy is a natural. Takes on all comers without blinking an eye. It's easy to tell how new this game is, since there are actually people flying that would try to turn-fight in an S.E.5a. Such a thing would never happen in RoF. I don't think that situation will last too long though, after the education that HL gave them. I was wondering if the S.E.5(s?) that attacked when you were egressing were the same ones, or others? If the same ones, they sure took a lot of punishment and still remained viable.

J5_Hotlead Posted November 17, 2019 Author Report Posted November 17, 2019 Thanks guys! I think according to the sortie logs, there were 3 total. The one that bounced me was new to the fight. The first one I damaged did not return to the fight and was credited as a shoot down. The second one I damaged turned around to pursue me when the third one hit me. The Albatros dropped in on the third one to save me, so I was able to focus on the second one and finish what I began.  Overall, I feel good about that fight! Just need to not fly straight without checking 6 for a prolonged time in the combat area. -Hawkeye-, Snaggle and Barton 3 Quote
DeFreest Larner Posted December 21, 2019 Report Posted December 21, 2019 Good work, and nice target switching! I bet the S.E. boys learned a thing or two in that fight LOL, the 2nd guy must have dropped out of the sky with all that lead weighing him down!  Snaggle 1 Quote
