im up for that joining a squadron if one is getting made , just level 5 atm British , had some good games had 9 kills in 1 match was impressed with my self haha
 
I was really looking forward to the typhoon, that has been the biggest let down of planes so far and would happily go back to my hurricane... it's almost like flying a brick but with the offensive power of a kitten and I get more air kills in my beaufighter! lol God I love that plane too!
I find I can't hit fighters with the typhoons cannons so I either go after bombers with it or attack the light armoured ground structures. You can also attach 2x bombs for the heavy structures.

I'm probably sympathetic about it cos I got this as a free plane for playing in closed beta :)
 
I love my Typhoons, you have to fly them right.
If you think a Typhoon cant turn, try a Tempest. They REALLY turn like boats.

Anyway, the Typhoons are boom and zoom fighters.
Excellent dive speeds and energy retention, do not turn fight with them.
The 4 20mm's rip through everything at convergence range.

Speaking of which, what do you guys normally set as convergence range?

I've spent most of my time using 300 metres which is great for close range attacks but useless at ranges of 500+ metres.

Recently switched to 500 metres and have found it much better at long ranges and only slightly worse close up so have stuck with it.

Might try 400 next though to see if it offers the best of both worlds.

how do you adjust the convergent range?
 
I'll happily join a ocuk squad but this game is like a "quick 30 minute blast" type thing for me.

Maybe I should play some HB, I'm a bit burnt out on the chaos that is arcade at the moment.
 
I play a mix of AB and HB, mostly British.
Id be interested in a squadron. :)

As for convergence range, it depends what Im flying.
For planes with wing mounted guns I tend to use 250 (Spitfires and the like)
With nose mounted I doesnt really seem to matter much so leave it at 300.
For boom and zoom type planes though (Typhoon etc) I tend to have it somewhere between 400-500, still experimenting.
 
once created i'll post up in here. i guess i'll need everyone who's interested in joining to post up their in game username.

to avoid randoms i'll only add people who post in here with their names, that sound fair enough?
