AA dodging questions

[imported_The Cow Goes moo]

I've been wondering a few things about dodging AA missles in plains (fyi im fairley new to the game), and I want to know the opinions of my fellow players on if you think backflips and barrel rolls are good dodging tactics.

Re: AA dodging questions

I find it best to pull up at a 20 degree angle then do a charp turn down and to the left towards the ground then immediately start doing loops and turns at the same time. Hard to explain but you'll never get shot down, but subsquently people will accuse you of cheating since their missles wont hit and then bring it to TBF2 and have your stats reset, LOL.

I've dodged 16 missiles from both essex guns with a f-35 on my ass and the trick is a quick reaction time. Basically you gotta fly in a curve to beat the f-35 but make it irregular to beat the essex.

Re: AA dodging questions

Only if you are in a J10, its turning is UFO like, so it can dodge any missiles most of the time.

Re: AA dodging questions

You can fly plains in BF2? I thought they only had planes...

Re: AA dodging questions

Depends on the plane. F35 you could go into ****ing space and the missle will jsut follow you there. J10, flare and turn and they magically turn away. A lot of times you dont even need to flare.

Re: AA dodging questions

I hope people give some good advice, because I was wondering the same thing. I just got my joystick in the mail, and I'm getting owned by AAs. I thought other pilots would be my downfall.
Great stuff so far. Keep it coming.

Ya, in the J-10's if you ask me what the X button does i'll have to go look it up in the hand book.LOL

EDIT: the poll isnt very accurate, different planes use different tactics.
But here are 2:
F-35: YOU ARE SCREWED! but maybe loops could work.Best bet is to eject, lol.
J-10: Do a combination of back flips and rolls at the same time by pulling down-left/down-right on a joystick, or moving your mouse down-left/down-right aswell.

Re: AA dodging questions

Ya, but think of listing all 4 options for each plane. My fingers would get cramped (not really but it sounded funny)
