Power Games

1. Where to put your ships

Some people place all of their ships together. This way if someone sinks one of the ships in that group they will move on to another part of the board. I personally don’t like this theory. I believe it is better to place your ships far away.

While it may throw off your opponent at the start that your ships are all together once they figure it out it is all over. They know exactly what area to shoot at in order to hit you. If on the other hand you put all your ships in different areas it is much harder. It is easy to find ships that are next to each other harder to find a ship that is in the middle of nowhere.

2. Know about your opponents.

Every opponent you have will probably think just a little different. They might tend to put their ships on the sides or they might start shooting for your boats in the middle of the board. Knowing what to expect is a good way to win the game.

3. Keep Record of everything

This goes without saying. You should keep record of all the spots you missed and all of the spots that where a direct hit. If you do you will not shoot at the same spot twice and that can really help you.

Choose the best table. This is probably the tip that will increase your profits the most. If you are capping yourself at a certain blind level (you normally want 200x big blinds at the table), then use the search function, which almost all poker rooms have, and find the largest ‘average pot’. Tables with large average pots mean players are betting their money wildly, and it becomes an ideal place to make a profit.

Bet before you call. The general rule of thumb is: you need to have a better hand to call than you do to raise. If you call a bet, you learn nothing about their hand, you don’t increase the pot (by as much as a raise would do) and you don’t give yourself the chance to win the pot there and then. If you don’t have a made hand (e.g. flush or straight draw), make the bet anyway! You could win the pot, you could hit the flush or straight on the next card or you could get re-raised. Even if you do get re-raised, you have learnt a lot about your opponent’s hand, and you can re-evaluate your next decision.

Take your time. If you have your hard earned cash on the table, you should take the time to think through every decision with detail. Think through how your opponent has acted in previous hands, what he could have that beats you, what he could have that you beat and whether you have the Expected Value to call.

Bully the weak players. No, I don’t mean call them names – bully them at poker. If a player is playing timidly, and is folding anything but aces, you must be a predator and extract as much money out of him as possible. If he re-raises you, you know he has the nuts, which makes your decision easy!

Despite the thrill it provides, some people still find it difficult to have fun with flight simulator games. Their reasons vary, but one thing is for sure – you don’t have any reason to feel that way. If you want to change how you feel about it, this article is a good read.

· Caught off-guard – A lot of people get too excited to try the games that they try it in haste. However, some people try it without having an idea of what to expect. This is the primary reason why they are caught off-guard. As shocked as they are, they fail to fully have fun with flight simulator games.

· Very low stress tolerance – Some people have very low stress tolerance that they poorly manage minimal stress. Any kind of role-playing games can at some point be very intense and these games are no exception. Depending on the person, he can find this intensity either as stressful or thrilling.

· Too real to handle – The purpose of any kind of real life game is to resemble actual situations. To be able to do that, these games often exhibit intense flight situations which can become too real to handle. Some of these are plane crash, extreme weather disturbance, emergency landings, etc.

· Fear – Different people have different fears. If you have a fear of heights for example, it is only reasonable to expect that you would not fully appreciate the thrill of flight simulator games.

1. Feel the sensation, but don’t get lost in it – real life games can really fire up your senses. It can make you feel all sorts of sensation – nervousness, excitement, thrill, name it. This is normal because simulation engages your senses in many ways. The key is to feel the sensation while keeping a clear head. It is only through this that you will feel the thrill of flying.

2. Don’t take it too seriously – While these kinds of games involve problem-solving activities, keep in mind that this is only a game. Taking it too seriously tends to stress you out. This will prevent you from having fun.

3. Take it as an adventure – It is in the nature of people to get adventurous at times. If you want to enjoy these games, get in touch with your adventurous self and try to explore all the learning possibilities.

Death Island

A reworked version of the single-player game’s Silent Cartographer map, Death Island is loaded with vehicles. You’ll get a pair of tanks and one of each Warthog variant, plus a Covenant turret (aka Shade) and a pair of Banshees just a teleport away. Also, remember the shotgun and health pack inside your base.

The best ways to get the flag are:

Method 1: Inside your base are two teleporters situated across from each other, with icons on the walls indicating where they take you. One warps to the Shade overlooking your base, while the other takes you on top of the map to a sniper rifle and your team’s pair of Banshees. Grab the shotgun, warp to the Banshees, and fly one directly across the map. Swoop down to the enemy base entrance, hop out, grab the flag, then it’s up, up, and away out of the enemy’s line of fire. A great way to score if the enemy is caught napping.

Method 2: A simple vehicular caravan is the other prime method of flag-capturing. Simply get (ideally) both tanks and a Warthog with at least one gunner. Take the long drive to the enemy base and let the tanks dish the hurt while the jeep swoops in and snatches the brightly colored fabric.
