I get that, at it's heart,
WoG is a simple game (in a good way!).
But after playing it on and off for 3 years now, I think I may be missing something.
I play in battles of 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. On occasion we will mix things up and throw in a bomber, or two-seater, or some trenches. But for the most part it's pretty straight dueling.
And the typical battle goes like this:
Opposing pilots start a foot or two apart facing each other.
We fly towards each other, shoot when close enough, almost crash, fly past each other, perform Immelmann turns, and repeat.
I exaggerate, but not by too much. Every now and again someone breaks away, is chased down and, surprise, performs an Immelmann to face his pursuer.
We have a grand time, but I don't think it makes too much sense to put your pilots intentionally in the line of fire by flying at one's enemy head-on. (It does make for shorter dogfights though!). It also gets a little bit repetitive.
Any suggestions?
How do folks usually handle duels?
Are we all simply playing too aggressively?
Can one of us turn our opponent's aggressiveness to our advantage?
Are pilots usually more defensive?
Thank you!
PS: might there be a preexisting thread in
WoG tactics?
