This Wednesday I'd like to have a mini-training session for any of the new(er) people that have joined us on how to better use planes in planetside. I know a few of you have experimented with flying the various planes in planetside, so this Wednesday at ~8:30cst we will have a training session for anyone who wishes to learn how to fly. Below I put in a short mini-guide on the various planes.
Flight Training:
Air Cav Scout (Mosquito) - Required - 3
Air Cav Assault (Reaver) - Optional (Highly Rec'd) - 2 (After Skeeter)
Air Cav Interceptor (Wasp) - Optional - 2 (After Skeeter)
Air Support (Lib/Vulture/Gal/Lode) - Optional - 3 (Vulture only w/Bomber Ace Silver)
Galaxy Gunship (Gal Gunship) - Optional - 2 (After Support)
Phantasm - 3 (After Infiltrator)
Controlling Aircraft:
Spacebar - Afterburner (Lib switches to bomber camera)
WASD - Same as grunting or other vehicles
E/C - Elevate, Desend
Q - Autopilot Full speed
1 - 0 - Autopilot 10% - 100%
Most aircraft are highly mobile and they are THE BEST way to get from point A to point B in planetside, and I would encourage everyone once you hit roughly around BR14+ to have one aircraft certed, either Air Support or Mosquito whatever your preference leans toward, if you have a cloaker character you should get phantasm or mosquito.
Mosquito - kill infantry, light vehicles, other aircraft
Reaver - Kill Maxes (AA), vehicles, and anything else that moves (also a moderate dog fighter)
Wasp - Made specifically for dogfights, missiles lock on, the nose gun chews up air, do not engage ground targets
Liberator - the A10 warthog of planetside, bomb shit, nosegun tanks, and prey you don't get caught by other aircraft, if you beat a light aircraft in a dogfight they should probably decert and go cry in a corner in shame
Vulture - A10 w/afterburners and better vehicle bombs (do not do anti-infantry though)
Activities will include maneuvering through trees, learning to adjust your sensitivity, and making attack runs on vehicles and infantry.
For this FRIDAY, we will start activities early since its a US Holiday, I plan on coming on line maybe around 4 or 5 cst, battles permitting we will build on what we did Monday night and do a liberator swarm and/or our usual hot drop shenanigans.
My contest for a group of 20 is STILL on, so make sure you come out at 7pm CST sharp
- If I am not there and we hit 20 a screenshot will be required as proof
Day: FRIDAY
Time: 7pm cst (or earlier)
Ventrilo is mandatory
IP: il2.leetvent.com
Port: 3812
Pass: tightpants
If you make a character please post their in game name here
Fun in this game increases exponentially with the more people that join up so I hope to see more of the people that stated they were interested in the initial thread to come out, the game is FREE, but you are restricted to 14 days after which you will have to start all over again. If you get "suspended" or banned since the trial accounts are loopholes just make another one. Conversely you can spend $20 to pick up the game at direct2drive, which comes with a free month, this allows you to keep your character instead of having to re-level someone every 2 weeks.
