Lag...now I get why my bullets seem to pass through planes without causing any damage!!
Joke, I'm pretty sure my connection is quite good. Anyway, I have met Mirgervirn in quite a few games and he's always been a nice guy, even when he was shot down many times (which didn't happen often, and not by me) he never quitted, but it's just my two cents. |

Mirgervin is a great pilot, although i was one of his main competitors until my official controller broke after i defeated him.
it sure was one of the most intense dogfights i have been in so far. if anything a one on one with mirgervin would end real close between the two of us, no joke. i really need to start practising more often though as i haven't been on sim in a while. |

Well, the implication was that you bring a good wingman, or one you can work well with. Actually, Mirgervin and cep prove my point - even more so doing it against the odds. Usually, with a wingman, you stay in position with each other so that if the engaged fighter loses the advantage, the wing comes in and gives the bandit something to think about while the other fighter goes back to a supporting role. Essentially, two could keep jumping in and swapping out to keep the bandit continually on the defensive. It's a bit more complicated in practice, but that's the bare-bones of it. Sometimes, more desperate measures work, but your wingman may not exactly thank you for it back at the O-club. For example, I was in a little guns match in Over-G Fighters. My wing and I were in F-14s against a single F-15. Now, the F-14 is a solid jet in that game, but the F-15 has a clear performance advantage - light weight with big engines, and the ability to pull +9Gs till the sun goes down versus the F-14's heavy weight with big engines and +6.5Gs. Whether or not the Tomcat is fairly represented considering the Eagle's performance (it isn't) is a topic for another day. So, we hit the merge, dogfighting happened, etc., etc. Eventually, I get a little spit out of the fight, the 15 turns in on my wingman and he goes defensive. Thinking quickly, I decided to start calling my wingman's turns to help him evade, but more so to help me re-engage and saddle up on the F-15. So, essentially, I staked my ability to have my wingman maneuver the bandit into my sights and my ability to hit what I was shooting at against my wingman's ass. I figured, as long as I could make it happen fast, I could either get the bandit to break off or kill him because he was so intent on my wingman. Long and the short of it, I had my wing drag the bandit into a firing position for me, and I nailed the bastard. It was actually a pretty beautiful thing. I did my best to help my wing reverse as the bandit overshot him, so by following my instructions, I flew my wingman into a scissors with the bandit while I closed for a shot. So, I was really trying my best to not get my wingman shot. It all worked out in the end. My wing was pretty impressed (at least at first) and asked how I knew when to call his turns for his defense. When I confessed that it was more intended to help me get a kill shot on the bandit (but by doing that, save his pink hide) the sentiment he expressed was more along the lines of "Good thing you didn't miss." |

Subarugaz is the only one here who has beaten Mirgervin in an organized tournament duel. I've managed to beat him a few times 1 on 1, though not when he uses a spitfire. Here is a simple guide:
How to Beat Mirgervin (joke version, 4 easy steps) 1) spot mirgervin 2) run away 3) hope he doesn't follow 4) hope he crashes How to Sometimes Beat Mirgervin (real version, many hard steps) 1) don't try to shoot Mirgervin head on, especially if he has a spitfire 2) learn to maneuver while checking 6, and learn to jink and dodge 3) learn to perform and counter gravity accelerated vertical turns 4) learn how to win rolling scissors 5) learn how gaining lead and making the opponent overshoot depend as much on ailerons as elevators. 6) read an air combat sim guide 7) practice endlessly |
