I can pull most of the plane tricks on Kubra. Upside down under the bridge, corkscrew through the tunnel. But there's one I can't do at ALL.

Know where the lower dam flag is? I can't seem to fly through it.

From MEC Side It seems slightly easier because there's a nice broad horizontal entrace, but the tricky part is twisting past the flagpole and coming out without clipping the side block.

From USMC Side: Looks hard. Go in perpendicular to the ground and getting past the post is easy. But once I try straightening out, I always clip the container @ the MEC entrance/exit.

Pilots should get points for making chasing bogeys crash. I've lost count of the F-18s who crashed trying to follow my mig through the tunnel. Or under the bridge for that matter

Ive seen it done with a helo, but never seen a jet go through. Not sure which side is which, but coming in from the back of the dam was the way i saw it done, i was in the APC thats in there by the pole and sat there with the "wholy shit" expression on my face and let him fly right through without taking a single shot at him. lol, he deserved to live after that stunt.

Getting a helo through is piss easy. I've never seen a plane fly through there, and have never even thought of attempting it on that map, the flag makes it near impossible to do.

It's fun flying sideways through that gap in the bridge with the spikes jutting out, though.

Helo is piss easy *agreed*. Slightly harder with a blackhawk/MEC Transport Chopper, the MEC attack helo's bulk makes it slightly harder, but its all around very very easy with a chopper.

I need help with getting a jet through! I just KNOW it can be done. Until I try 1 million times pissing off the entire game + screwing my K/D ratio.

Yeah, the flag's a bitch to get past. You go in horizontal -, you have to twist to vertical |, THEN have to go past the flag

then have to twist the other way to avoid the overhang

Someone help me!

as far as the jet through the lower dam flag...i've seen it done in the stunt regen video, and got it myself once out of about ten tries. it was luck though, the angle of your wings has to be pretty precise. i don't know if anyone can do it consistently, but you should be able to get it a couple times if you try enough.

from the mec side, you can tilt your left wing up and make it past both the flag and the block.

Tried that really, but I need an 'S' twist to duck the flagpole and a block. Gah.

this is something for me to try. i cant fly to save my life, buti can pull some crazy chit off. when it comes time to flying with a purpose, im next to useless

my best so far is upside down under the bridge in wake.. not sure if thats worth mentioning tho ><

That's not too bad, there's only a little clearance under that bridge. Time to upgrade to the tunnel in kubra. Upside down or corkscrew Now you've to watch your sides as well as your top.

Whats the use of flying through that hole? As if pilots wont fly above to shoot u down:P The risk of crashing through that hole is 80.9999% if u are a first timer:P

No, the risk is 100% if you're a first timer, 99.999% on the second try, less 0.0001% everytime you try it. Theoretically then, if you try 1000000 times you should perfect it.

Its useful if the opposing pilot is tight on your tail. Usually I pull a tight swerve around the crane, dive down and watch my back. If he follows me through that manoevre, he's pretty good, and pretty close. Then I just blast through the tunnel under the dam.

1. If he has the balls to follow me, good. But it needs a certain amount of skill and reflexes to follow me through, if he doesn't have what it takes, bye bye.

2. If you're following me closely, you won't have enough time to pull up into a 180 degrees climb. And you WILL clip something and die.

3. If you're not that close and you pull up into a climb, i'll be out the other end, and the chase has now turned around Its YOUR turn to run.

I've done it here is the trick.

From the MEC airfield side of dam. Go at about 30 degree angle into entrnce coming from right to left of tunnels. Plane out in tunnel use normal turn left while rolling slight right (this for clearing wings in tunnel) then come out and pull up.

From valley side. (hard to do.) when your coming in you should see two little boxes with rebar sticking out you should be about level between those and the ground outside the ramp of the entrnece. Pull up at about a 20 degree angle while comeing again from right to left. When in side turn left and roll slightly left too. Then once your past the flag quickly piull up, turn right, level out and make sure your angle is high enough to clear blue dumpster, but not steep enough to hit ceiling. It's hard but possible.

I tried (hard to do so on a 64 server where everyone wants the jet) failed 2/2 times tho, hit the pole.

On a plus note tho, the next map was wake and I did perdy well there, with someone from the forums playin (i followed em to the server) Jestar something

yeah goin through the tunnel will free you of most pilots, even goin through the gap at the helipad at the top bit of the damn confuses most pilots

so i am able togo through the lower flag area but i have no idea how to describe it to you. but i would never use it during a game since theres isnt really room for any errors at all. in the tunnel theres at least some room especially when your on the right height.
ok here some more pointers:
1. the angle of approach is very important since theres not much room to steer inside that gap.
2. left wing tiltes up and the right wing goes right through the lower corner of the ramp if i remember correctly.
3. dont be to fast since you have to tilt clockwise after entering the gap to get past the flag pole.

apart from that its a matter of try and error. anyway i think i have to try it towards the MEC base since so far i only made it coming from the MEC base.

ps: i dont have this stunt in my vids but they might interest you so get coming through 1+2. link: http://hosted.filefront.com/mort4u

Yeah if your in a bomber be about 600 speed and in a figher between 600-800 (they have between handling so can be faster.) it's by far easier from the mec airfield side and in the fighter but can eb done with either side with any aircraft. (i actually had someone try to follow me once I made it, he didn't lol>)

It's blankwindow (no i'm not annoyed or anything everyone makes the mistake because the ns blend in unforuantly due to a optical illusion effect of the brain and most people only glancing.)

anyway no it wasn't you. I know the guy in person who did it. At the time he was actually about 10 feet from me in the other room and had been tired to shoot me down for a while. I finally got tired of doding, rolling, ect and decided for a work or die route of the tunnel. What i plan on trying next is seeing if i can make it thru the drainage tunnels at the bottom in a jet. I have enever tired not sure if they are wide enough and if they are if it's possible to maneuar in and out on both sides.

I also tried to do it, and i managed to get through it 2 times now. Only problem is, that i only recorded the second time at that was the try where I crashed in a little radio-tower, thanks to the lag. Just see it in these small low quality videos:

[url]http://members.lycos.nl/destructionsquad/video.html[/url]

These are movies of the second try (with crash). Video 1 is "cool" recorded in slomo. Video 2 is the same, but in just in "F11" cam (but in BR) and real time.

just watch my 2 stunt vids cause i did this there. in the first i only flew through the tunnel next to the damn and in the 2nd i went through both i clipped the wall a bit as you will see i never tried it during online play but thats mostly cause i tend to line up pretty early wich gives my opponent to much time to aim so i prefer to outfly them in open field
at least i think those are the tunnels you were speaking of but i cant think of others on kubra.

If you manage to fly trough the hangar at Dalian Plant (at the flag yes) Then that's impressing.

going through the lower flag is all about perfect timing, other than that its easy. i can do it consistently. through the hangar at Dalian Plant? what u mean? the big ass red thing? i can hit that at every angle

if you meen the big ass red thing or the hanger the planes or in that is simple. (hell i've gone thru the plane hanger on the rubway when there was another plane parked in it.)

be specific of which hanger at which flag.

wow CTD, haven't seen one of yall guys since i quit playing novalogic games.
