We'd like to think we are that good but I have no problem admitting that we do use hacks. We can't hack anything that's moddable via server-side, i.e. we can't make turbo planes on maps that do not have turbo planes.
The hack we use is one we got off your server, the Legion hack for 1.6. We did have a pb-proof hack at one time but pb found out about it and stopped it. Most of the hacking I do no is with rfa files (client-side as opposed to server-side). There are many values you can change that the server doesn't pick up such as properties dealing with graphics and sound. Many people change the fog this way instead of using a third-party hack. There are many other things you can do, such as making buildings transparent, introducing new views, and modifying tracer fire. However, rfa hacking has its limitations in that you can't use it on a server that runs content check. Most of the servers in 1.61 run content check.
As far as flying goes, both GuyWhoFucksYou Up and I have been flying for several years. We do take the advantage of alt-whoring because that's where you get the most speed. As far as accuracy goes, that's just comes with experience. Sometimes I have a good shot and sometimes my shot sux. A lot of times I just get lucky and blow away planes in chase rear or flyby.
Bonehead did remove a link to this video I posted from youtube. You can search for it by typing Read a Book. This video depicts the nigger lifestyle and is basically a statement saying that niggers should get off their asses and do something good for themselves. But some of you probably turned it off before you actually realized the satire.
Anyways, if you want to get good at flying then my favorite piece of advice is to dogfight people who are better than you. Both of us got our asses whipped for a long time before we got to the point where we are now. And there are definitely pilots out there who can give us a run for our money, but not many. Also, learn how to fly well in all views. I mainly use flyby and chase rear and then switch to nosecam when I want to take someone out. My buddy fucksyouup relies more on chase rear and chase front and less on flyby. Also, joysticks versus keyboards versus mouse. Keyboard rules over joystick and joystick rules over mouse. Remember that! Keyboards are much more responsive than sticks. Think about it, it takes much less time to change keys than it does to move your joystick from one side to the other. I say master both. I can fly well in keyboard and stick. But I fly better with stick because it's more natural. However, I find that my plane is more responsive using keyboard.
Also, a little bit of my philosophy. I always bail unless I'm taken down in a respectable dogfight. Usually when I bail I will commit suicide to piss off the cheap-ass pilot who shot me down. So don't take it personally if you ever catch me bailing. Odds are that you couldn't get a good enough shot on me anyways. Another thing, if I am looking for a halfway decent pilot to fight I will not blast away on first sight; instead, I will look for the dogfight by giving the other pilot a chance to notice me and make a move. My buddy GuyWhoFucksYou Up does not follow this idea. He prefers to shoot on site and is way more aggressive than I am.
If you want to train to become a good pilot then give me the heads up and I'll show you a few things.
Also, props out to all the good pilots in MAFIA: Balthazar, BlackJax, and Maggot. And heads up to Killa and Milky. Kraut, we still hate you. Bonehead, read a book. And Misfit, keep rockin the mods.
