ir Battling
Battling
with ir battling, the infrared transmitters in the front of the ship will send a
signal and the infrared receiver beneath the ship will register a hit.
ir battling is relatively easy because it sends a wide signal and the receiver
points down underneath the ship. if you aim anywhere beneath your target ship from
a range of less than 2-3 meters, you will most likely score a hit.
when battling indoors, ir
signals can bounce off of walls
(especially white walls). you
can sometimes achieve a hit even
if you weren
’
t directly aiming
at your opponent, if you fire
using the right angle.
when ir battling, you will not
be able to battle with any
star
wars
ships that are set to use
aux weapons battling mode.
a few things to note about ir
battling:
sunlight greatly reduces the
distance that an ir signal can
travel. Battling outside in
daytime means that you will need
to be especially close to your
opponent to score a hit.
when battling with your vehicle it is best to fly outside in a wide open space of
about 200-300 feet, in an open field with no obstruction such as trees, houses,
open water, or power lines. when battling indoors it is recommended to do so in a
very large open area such as a gymnasium or sports center with high ceilings and no
obstructions.
