Help with manual interception

09-17-10, 10:37 AM

As much as Ive seen the guide (visual even) I still have problems [now I wish I would have paid attention in trig last year]

a couple points Id like to ask.

Firstly. Ive noticed Ive had quite a few topics posted the last few days and I just want to say sorry for acting like a madman cluttering up this part of the forum :P

Second, Since I have GWX installed now and all, what would you all advise me to do? I have basic manuevers down, I have the idea down (Ie get to a 90 and fire, unless your using magnetics and all ) by this I mean, would you all advise me to take baby steps?? (learn proper positioning, then evasion then manual targetting?) or jump into it and try and get the hang of it right away, Im a pretty fast learner, I just feel like even though I took trig, and stuff Im going to need to have some one litterally tutor me in the interception and manual targetting method (Im considering switching to manual but using a calculator and the Laws of Sines Cosines and Tangents at first.) I am a very patient person but am also as of lately a sort of perfectionist and am willing to do what it takes to become a very skilled skipper!

And Third, would anybody be willing to play a game on the internet with me personally for a while and physically take the time to actually teach me manuevers and such (as I watch with an event camera) the reason I ask this is I seem to be a much more hands on learner so if I watch some one do then do it myself and recieve critique then try again I seem to learn quicker and much better than just reading guides..

Hope this makes sense
But for now Im off to go get a workout in and play some basketball!!

Firstly, nobody minds about you asking questions - even people who've played a lot still find out something new every now and again through somebody else asking a question - so your asking helps others

Secondly, it's up to you, I still don't manual target - I have every intention of doing so but I just think - meh, one more patrol...

Thirdly, if I could do all that myself I would gladly help. I think in a few months time I'll be asking you for the help

. I'm sure somebody will help, pop over to the multiplayer forum and ask there too!

But in the same sense. some one like yourself who has been playing longer than me. would be able to actually teach me some things as well. But enough for now Im off to start my first patrol on GWX. wish me luck !

and its not the asking questions part its the freak out and post 5 different threads when I could have just posted it all into one :P thing.
