Why is it, without the obvious-wrong answers, that someone can turn faster using the same plane as the other?! Is it computer player versus phone player?

Also, to add to that, I understand turn trajectories. When they enter, when I enter, etc... They may even have a lil more speed when they enter...but EVERY time?

Well this is obvious but you never know. Is your sensitivity set to the max? My other theory is that this could have to do with the processing power of a given phone. I've been using the same tablet for 14 months and it doesn't run the game as fast as it used to. I turn pretty much everything off these days.

Yes - but this game requires more processing power than anything else I do with the tablet. This thing gets smokin' hot during dogfight. I could flip it over and fry an egg on it. The game also flatlines my battery sometimes. It just completely drains in an instant.

Well, I've had the same droid x since the game first came out. Been a champ, no problems. Actually have learned to tweak it to make sure its running at full rpm lol. I use motion control. After EVERY login, I go into settings, controls, set limited cockpit for most vision, set my plane level as I'm pointing at the ground so i get major up motion for turning when i pull up. I still look retarded cuz i have my phone twisted over my head lol. I have sensitivity set to max. No bomb...dur. Also, i usaually play with my phone plugged into the charger, using an extention cord lol. I keep looking back at the thread.........my phone is nice n cool too, no heat issues

It's a 1st generation 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab. I've also played briefly with a smartphone and I felt it was easier to get straight on kills with the phone. This reinforces my belief that the game is optimized for phones. I'd be interested in other opinions re tablets vs phones.

G Jackson is one of the best Turners out there when we meet in game we go on and on and on and on and on and on. I think everyone has their own style the ones that dont follow the same pattern are the best. You do the same thing over and over again you're gonna get it. Throwout to ricken Dawson Reid Davis bomber and bigboss too. The biggest mistake is when yoy turn for a sec and even think about firing at another plane because your both milliseconds from contact. Im sure I forgot some you know who you are
A man with any character at all must have enemies and places he is not welcome...

This is just my opinion but when someone out turns you and you are chasing them then 9 times out of 10 they will come close to you at some point during the turn. This is because you bank when you see them do it so your trajectories are a few hundred game feet apart. Just be glad you dont use the joystick. You can't even turn with the Italian stallion (white plane) lol
And 420 check out the galaxy note for att or the nexus for Verizon. both big screens both not tablet size. I have the note and love it.

Thanks dogss for the compliment...........yeah everyone has there own style. But i do find that many players have faster planes even though they have the same plane. I guess it has alot to do with connection speed.....i have chased with new players and it seemed impossible to shoot them.....my plane on the other hand sometimes seems like i am flying a balloon....slow, and hard to meneuver....there are a couple things i do to pick up speed as i enter a turn fight (most turn players prolly know)....its not "drop the bomb", dropping the bomb is a givein.
Sorry for my lousey typing...lol...im in a hurry and dont care to type...

My tablet has a high resolution screen so the game does look great. I don't know if a 10" tab would be ideal though. That is alot of weight to hold in a long dogfight. A 10" tab might have too much resolution for dogfight (and look blocky but I'm not sure). Even my 7" tab feels heavy in a long chase. I think a new uber smartphone with a near 5" screen would be perfect like the newest Samsung smartphone.

I've used the Kindle Fire since I got the game. So much clearer than a phone! Doesn't heat up either. Sadly I started with joystick and now I realize I cant turn that well which is why I have so many more deaths than kills. So I'm TRYING to go to motion but man....its difficult.

Only Zuperman can play it on a computer.That feature would be nicer though.Imagine playing Dogfight on a giant Vizio PC.  our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen!

420 ive had the same problem but ive mastered a new technique, turn under them, as your nose is pointing slightly down your speed increases - it also closes the gap between you and them so you get a nice big target!!!! It might work fot you?

Yeah i never decrease my speed in a turn fight....only time i touch my throttle is either when i am shooting a tank, blimp or i am following a slower plane

I never do more than three turns in the same direction
stopping at a dime is the skill Im allways trying to improve on the only time I throttle down is if I im chasing lower ranking players on slow planes 
this is how i fly !!!

Oh man! You and me both about the Droidx2! It has sailed across the room at least once but, luckily the carpet saved it.  |
