Fighting in rear view

[Colonel Z.e.r.o.]

I was fighting a BH GS earlier today in my OC GS and I was baffled by how he was able to hit me so accurately, in rear view. I don't understand how it even possible to make those shots so consistently while flying in reverse while making hard unpredictable turns.

Does anyone have any tips for this tactic?

Turning in rear view is near impossible, strafing on the other hand works very well, especially on the very thin BHG ships, namely the GS and dessie. In those ships, left-right strafing will make you near impossible to hit, while you will still be able to hit the enemy in rear view (make sure to turn mouse flight off first though, that will lead you to turn uncontrolably).

I believe you can set up hotkeys for turning while using rear view as well.

Tried it, doesn't work.



However, if you move your mouse to the degree that you want to be turning, then pop out of rear view for a second then pop right back your ship will begin to turn based on where the mouse was last.

Please elaborate......

BHG GS can use all six turrets in rear view. In normal view it can only use four.

As a thin GS, it can strafe effectively from right to left.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

Unfortunately you can't use the turn control while in rear view. The "roll" control also does nothing from what I've tried.

Needs to be done in cockpit view.

I say we put the engines on the BH GS on the front, so we can fly the thing backwards. That way we can fire all the guns forward.

While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack
