In TIME ATTACK of AC2, there are THRILL, SPEED FEELING and EXCITEMENT. Try TIME ATTACK, and join us even only 1 score. I often receive questions; "Are your best times TRUE?" or "Your best times are too fast !!!". At least on my times, there is no lie ! I think that the main points for achiving fast best time are; (1) Use FREE MISSION. (2) Use XFA-27. On time attack, there is no merit for using other aircrafts. (3) Keep on full afterburner except for several points. (4) Try each mission again and again, in order to cultivate your skill to control your aircraft QUICKLY and CORRECTLY. (5) Choose the best route. (4) is most important, I believe. Please try the mission again and again. You will get much faster time, even if now you think that present best time is a limit for human. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [SAMPLE] My tips for "GAMBIT": [high altitude] ***** * * 6 * * 5 * * 7 8 * *************************************** --> ********************************************************* <-- 4 3 2 1 [low altitude] 1.full after burner 2.shooting down one of first line bombers by HEADS ON 3.shooting down one of second line bombers by HEADS ON 4.air brake, and starting Inmermann turn 5.Inmermann turn 6.role, full afterburner and lock on the rest of second line bombers 7.shooting down the rest of second line bombers 8.shooting down the rest of first line bombers Result:0'22"36 This is no more than my method.
