Re: Dogfights

instead of being the outgunned F-35B be the overpowered J-10 :p

another ickle tip would be fly in bomb mode, that way you dont lock onto enme jets so they dont know ur there.

and break of to the right, every1 seems to go left

Re: Dogfights

maneuvers should also be based on enemy jet distance..

for example, if they are hard on your 6, using brakes / reverse thrust while pulling a hard turn will usually cause them to overshoot you, then you can ram the throttles forward and try to turn the tables in your favor, but if they are trailing from a distance, this tactic becomes useless and infact will increase your chance of being shot down.

Re: Dogfights

I'm learning myself too. My first "reaction" is to hit ab and loop or split s. Sometimes it works....most of the time it doesn't. I guess hitting the brakes actually may work a little better depnding in how close the enemy is.

Re: Dogfights

Evasion involves usually multiple maneuvers (depends on your jets strengths. For example for MiG its loops, for F35B its multiple maneuvers) to make you unpredictable for the enemy and lose you from his view. This should also involve playing around with your speed.

If you're in F35B against J10, good luck, you gonna need it. Multiple maneuvers are the key here, again because J10 has a slight delay in control response. Against MiG, try to slow down during those multiple maneuvers. Make use of rear chase view. If you see yourself getting too far ahead, make a loop to decrease the distance. The closer you are to the jet, the better chance to lose him, because your jet will start going through his view faster, leaving no lock time.

All in all its experience. Just try to be less predictable and give them less lock time.

what he said - all good stuff -
but biggest mistake people make is constant rolls back forth
that does no good
you have to 'pull through' enemies' field of vision
