Re: I think that it takes ZERO skill to be a spin flight!

I will add one little bit to this conversation that is on topic.  Although I am not a fan of CAF I don't think it takes ZERO skill to use.  Yes it has it's glitches and it's advantages.  But zero skill? No.  The good CAF pilots are able to maintain a control over the position of their hawk.  but it does not take a lot of skill spin around and and be defensive with it and dodge.  

 

However to be able to switch from flipping around teleporting across the screen to being effective at offense as well and keep control of the position of your hawk in that flight mode... does take skill.

 

Easy to learn. Harder to master.

Re: I think that it takes ZERO skill to be a spin flight!

Dodging is way too easy.
It enables nefarious KDR **bleep**.
Buy a mech pad,fly to the enemy respawn and stomp on a noob.
You can still do it in normal and advanced but it is a bit more difficult.

Defending it because you only use CAF for dogfighting is fallacy.

Re: I think that it takes ZERO skill to be a spin flight!

This argument is stale and old. GOW explains it well.

The brutal truth is in this game AF is stupid flight. You're only asking to be killed if you fly AF and Ill say this one more time for the noobs just because you choose AF and die it doesn't mean CAF is glitchy. It means you shouldn't be in the air trying to fly AF because you see the word advanced and think it makes you elite or that it holds some super power that shows youre better. It's possible to fly CAF in AF if you know how to do it anyways but most don't.
The game/players have advanced past a simple shuffle. So have the ways of dodging. I think some have forgotten the actual meaning for glitch. Abuse of something that was allowed in maybe but its not a glitch. Unnatural and totally against physics probably but not a glitch. Basically the title of this thread should be HOW DO I GET BETTER AT DODGING?.

Re: I think that it takes ZERO skill to be a spin flight!

One last thing-
There's a video here: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Starhawk-General/Backwards-flight-in-CAF-and-a-little-demo-at...

that shows what GOW is talking about. Full dodge, no spinning and refilling all weapons. When you can do that then come back and talk to me about no skill in CAF.

*just to clear it up... That videos not meant to show tactics during a DF match because that's different but the principals the same while refilling ammo or in CAF you'll never find the ammo until its to late.
