[PVP] FA/OFF - Viper v Vulture/Clipper & FDL

[I and I Redeye]

FA/OFF-Viper v Vulture/Clipper & FDL, 3 v 1

I'm still trying to get the hang of Flight Assist Off, so here's some pvp for viper fans.

A Vulture interdicts me and his Clipper friend also joins in. 2 v 1, I make a mistake and get punished.

After the 1st fight, you can skip fwd to 10 mins. I go back out again and look for them and find them again @10 mins.
This time there is an epic 3 v 1 battle.

Many thanks to the FDL pilot. I really enjoyed.
Here it is. You can also skip the last 5 mins, after the FDL fight, it's just me returning to station.

I make quite a few mistakes, some bad one's but I was under pressure and trying to use FA/Off, it's alot to do. I think I was very lucky.
What do you think?

Nice Viper flying, its a fun ship to pilot if you have the skillz I'm still laughing at how utterly useless the vulture and clipper were in the first fight. No skill ram for the win. You have to wonder

Thanks.
I really like the Viper and I wanted to push it's limits to see what it could do, hence why I never bailed out.

Funny, the vulture I interdicted earlier but didn't want to fight to the death, so we agreed shields only.
Then, when he has a wing mate, it was ok to kill me.

Cool victory agains the FDL! Good job man!
Viper is also one of my favourites, nice to see it is still capable against much bigger ships!

Viper is a beast when fitted for combat. The FDL really made me work hard. Credit to the FDL for staying the distance, he gave me a great fight.

I have uploaded and included the youtube version.
Enjoy Viper fans

It's truly a shame the Clipper usually has to resort to ramming if they're fighting a small ship with lots of chaff equipped. As you could guess, I'm really only able to run 1 fixed weapon (beam) and it's still extremely difficult to hit a skilled pilot going all over the place like dread was. If you've ever fought someone like Tannik, you'll know how annoying the Viper can be.

Pretty good fight OP. The Vulture randomly wanted to wing up with me last night and go after anyone wanted, I guess he didn't expect to meet a skilled Viper pilot.

and i really wish he hadn't provoked hercules... i'm nowhere near as good as he is.

Hiya Snooperson,

thanks for the brawl last night. You got me good at one point, your beam went straight through my SCB charge.

Yeah, I was really confused when the FDL turned up, I thought, omg that's all I need, I'm dead now. I thought he had come to help you. Then I saw him engage you so I took advantage.

Hercules did some serious damage to me, with no shields and crappy class 1 SCB, I was really up against it.


Many thanks.

You do know multicannons are useless and do no damage at 3 km, right? They really are for use under 1.5 km. Weapon damage falls off with range. I used to have a chart/table somewhere but darn it I can't find it.

Yeah I know. They very weak at distance.
At 2-3km I was adjusting my FA/Off, sometimes allowing my shield to gain some regen and a few times I just had to take a breather and compose myself again, then look for an opportunity to close the gap.
