Hard = Limp

Bank = Half chub

Straight = Full chub

I say Nk, lazy N, hard N, N straight.

Unless it's a lazy 3 to the left, and then that is 'I know a few maneuvers'

Banks and turns are the correct term for aircraft maneuvers.

These are spaceships though

Directly translated from my native language it'd be "Sharp #" and "# bank". As for k-turns, I don't do them that often, so I've got two different, "# koiogran (spelling?)" or "# flip".

First of all, what the EFF is a koiogran supposed to be? Seriously. Why put such a long name to a commonly spoken word.

You say k-turn when you playing with noobies (which I try to teach often) and they look at you funny.

I say "2 tilt" when I'm trying to make my friend rage.

"Where's Soontir going?"

"Too hard."

I think this might explain what a Koiogran turn is and why they use that term in x-wing: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Koiogran_turn

2 Hard, 2 Soft

I've seen that before. But it doesn't tell you anything about the move. OR what or who koiogran is. Why not use a regular air fllight term like an immelman turn or something or a split S? Or even just U-turn.

"2 hard right", "2 lazy left". Like that.

The article explains exactly what it is, here is the quote "the pilot would lose all forward momentum and loop-roll in another direction."

They use this particular term, for Star Wars reasons, I guess.

Technically it is an Immelman turn, and was first used/created by the man himself in WWI... but because this is star wars and no one has heard of earth.. you get koiogran..

The turn was designed to put you on a heading back the way you came, with a little altitude. this is easily done in Wings of Glory, there is also an S-turn that gets you lower but also in the opposite direction you were going in. Hope that helps

I try to use Turn and bank, but invariably I use hard and soft.. as those were best choice at the start.. lol..

People get confused with the turns so I say Straight, Bank, Hard, K-turn (or K) and when IG-2000 comes out Loop or S-Loop

My group all call the lazy and hard. Lazy because of family guys blue harvest with his incredible lazy left maneuver.

I usually go with Hard and Soft turns... but then, I also call the "K-Turn" what it is... an Immelmann. Even though Immelmann himself never existed in this continuity...

Gentle/Hard generally but probably used most sensible terms at one point or another

Also I've a tendency to call K's crazy Ivan's that sometimes gets an odd look.

We usually say 'hard turn' or 'gentle bank'

Sometimes 'three hard' or' 'one gentle to starboard'

Kiogran (sp) turns we call immelman turns or K turns as 'kiogran' is a stupid word.

You say k-turn when you playing with noobies (which I try to teach often) and they look at you funny.

It's based on a real maneuver: the Immelmann Turn, also known as an I-turn.

And as said dozens of times on here... you can't really call it an 'immelman' turn as immelman was a WWI fighter pilot for the Germans side. You've either got to shoehorn a very very German sounding name into the mythos and have him invent an identical manoeuvre... which stretches narrative a wee bit *or* you make up a new name for the same thing.

Just a shame they made up such a rubbish name for the manoeuvre.

I say a Hard and a Bank.

I'll be in my bunk...

Interesting, I don't think I've heard the two mixed before.

I say Hard to avoid confusion. A turn could be a soft or a hard one for someone that doesn't use the term 'Bank'. But we speak french at the table, so I think I'm the only one who use those terms out of habit from the forum. I think we refer to it the most as doing a 45 or a 90.

I say Speed then Bearing. I also use the terms in the rulebook to avoid confusion, so straight, bank, turn, koiogran (sometimes i shorten it to k-turn)

Example: 4 Straight, 3 Right Bank, 2 Left Turn.

Hard turn..

Hard 2, Flacid 2

I used to say "sharp" for turns, "swoop" for banks, and "u-turn" instead of K-turn, back when I first started with my wife.

Even now, I still catch myself using them even though I know better.

Port, starboard, bank, turn, k-turn, and the distance.

Although i say 'left and right' when playing the wife as she hasnt got a clue which way port and starboard are and can never remember which is which... which is odd considering they are said in the same order as left and right
