Give me team battle scenarios anyday with limited fuel and ammo (on a Strike or CTA map) .....I'm getting to be real grumpy old git these days.....  |
Well, talking about respawn time, in my games is set to the maximum. Flying hints and tactics have to face game structure and limits. I wish i could have 1 minute respawn time, that would even force you ( or opponent ) to think twice before pulling a dive that you're sure not to pull out in one piece. Also, unfortunatly, i feel like some players use to crash just to respawn in a better position, or tends to crash easy. It's very frustrating, after several minutes of chase, to see your opponet crash and respawn on your six after 5 seconds, lol... A good workaround of this behavior is to know how game respawn system works, and set respawn time at 15 sec. Crashed plane always respawn a little higher than you, so, just turn toward the red dot on the map and look up, probably you'll spot plane in a second. Attack and CTA game have fixed respawn points, once assigned at the beginning of the game, i've noticed that you will respawn exactly same place and height during all the match. 15 second respawn time gives me enough time to climb at 600 - 1000 meters ( up to the plane i'm flying into ).
I do enjoy dog fight just against 4, 5 or maybe 6 planes. After that, i prefer team battle, and, strike or cta also, hopefully with a good fast plane
