Amazing Scythe Skills

Not my video, just saw it on youtube and its too good not to share. Dude has some matrix-like reflexes.

 

Too bad they don't handle like that anymore...

 

I didn't notice anything different what did they do to the handling?

 

My eyes might just be messing with me, but certain parts of this video are sped up ever so slighty, segments where the pilot is splitting trees and rocks seem much faster than 300kmh

 

Well for 1 it's obvious that it's an older build. He's got a TR HUD when in a VS Scythe, plus the yellow exp gains.

among like 50 bajillion other things.

And his acceleration is massively higher than a stock toward the end of the beta. Even with Afterburner.

 

oh ya lol I knew it was an older build it still has Auraxium. I was just focusing on the handling!

I might just not have noticed because I had full dogfighting airframe rite when it came out had certs saved up.

 

when I said that air to air was extremely complex i was talking about how there are so many ways to out maneuver someone on your six that most people haven't realized yet.

 

for instance on the last night of beta air raid video @2:33 I'm attacking a lib @2:44 I hear 2 reavers behind me. Just as they start to fire on me I break off down and turn around to engage, @2:50 I realize there still on my six so I start a backward slide about 30 degrees down with the nose pointed up then I hit afterburner with my ascend jets on and my throttle off so the afterburner power goes to the ascend jets.

As I start to gain altitude I put the nose down so I cut back over-top of them and hit yaw to spiral up backwards about 50m above them. As I start to get a shot on the one that totally lost me the other gets a shot on me again so I do a little roll and cut back down to the base and fly under an archway that I promptly hear the reaver that had a shot on me run into. I don't still hear the other reaver so I do a quick loop around the base, fly under another arch just for fun and start back for more ammo.

The second reaver got a shot on me again as I was leaving but a friendly started attacking him so I just let the friendly have em just kept on going for ammo.

I've played full flight sims that didn't have anywhere near that kind of content.

 

I just got in-game and it's all gone now no sliding, ascend is way weak now thrusters don't even bag out anymore.

 

I can totally see what people meant when they said it's like a flying camera. Even as is ESFs handle like some sort of otherworldly manifestations, but that is ridiculous.
