Track IR (Pure dogfighting)
Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 3:27 am
hey guys, I wanting to get some input on the idea of perhaps getting a thing going here for us Track IR guys to get some no-padlock flights going. I certainly don't want to seem like I'm trying to come in as a new guy and attempt to change a bunch of stuff around. but it seems to me that its an aspect that is missing..that would perhaps be enjoyed by alot of folks. (I hope)
Now that I have had the chance to fly some fights with Track IR on both sides and padlocking disabled...its become apperant that while standard dogfighting is a challenge indeed...Mk.1 eyeball and rubbernecking adds that much more skill and challenge to it.
in 2v2 or any multiple fighter scenario it adds the challenge of tactics in order to keep SA on your targets.
in ALL fights it allows a much more realistic use of real world tactics. Blind spots, terrain use, extensions to escape etc etc.
so...what I'm asking is, would it be feasible to develop a prelimenary ruleset for no-padlock matches..and would there be any interest in possibly setting up a seperate ladder for these specific types of flights?
I'd be more than happy to begin working out a modified rule set for "rubbernecking"
again...let me say that I mean no offence to the admins or to the spirit of the ladder, I do not think the current ladder should be modified in any way. just adding an extra feature for those who would like to add that extra touch of realism to this already amazing league.
