i bet its hard with joystik, on keyboard just lean slightly(angle of lean=speed of strafe and keep your nose pointed in the general area of the target i guess

, I ll work on it tonite while warming up for the scrim(if anyones even there

GET ON THE SG CLAN FOURM GUYS!!!)

I can do it somewhat .... I have been able to put it into a High speed spin and keep the nose prett centered ... It's a trick with the roll and Straffe at the same time .... I don't remember how I did it .... Either way this is more of a Trick for showing off , not for true effective manuevers against the enemy

Then there is the rotating around to nail a target repetedly ( which is also a fantastic way to dodge the SA-7's )

I can do ti a little but not perfected yet ....

I'[m using Mouse and Keyboard btw

Little_Girl is pretty good at it but he takes a wide berth. I've seen some guys that can keep it tight which is as MyT said...the best defense against the SA-7

It depends on who is with me in the copter, if i have a gunner, i let them get a few shots in too. the radius on that gun is so horrible, but probably accurate.

ok a tip on the circle of death....think if it as an orbit, constantly falling. so to go clockwise, you X-axis-jstick left and Z-axis-jstick right. you will have to y-axis-jstick forward slightly too. keep a constant chek and adjust accordingly. throttle should always be moving to compensate. finding something to circle around. building, flagpole, etc. that reallys helps with that too.

hopefully ill get some games in this week.

ok then
