What am I doing wrong? (FLYING)

[Morketh]

Okay, so I am finally learning how to use the SU-34 but my problem now is when I run into the UBER jet pilots!!! I cant shake em!!! I do the same maneuvers they do when I am on them but when I do them when they are on me, I just get butt raped!! I even had a guy shoot me down with just guns IN SECONDS, like it was no problem, SEVERAL TIMES!!!
I have MAJOR problems shooting down other jets with guns and missiles, I can barely stay on them without them losing me!! Whats the deal!

Well, you are the pilot of a BOMBER, not a FIGHTER. Bombers are generally slower in speed and are not so sharp in turns as some fighters. However, if its a bomber v bomber dogfight you should be able to have an even match if you pull the right manuvers at the right time.

Do you have a joystick? I recommend it if you are serious about flying. Also, sneak behind the enemy in air to ground mode, that way he doesnt get a lock indication. When you are close enough, change to air-to-air mode and shoot him with the cannon let him drop his flares and then fire the missiles.

Remember to press X for flares, once that beeping becomes constant. Try to look behind u every once in a while. Dont fly in a perfect straight line, especially if a guy is behind u.

Also check your six often. Another good thing to do is fly at high altitudes and only come down for a bombing/strafe run or to engage an enemy jet.

Yea I already knew all of that, there must be another trick though... I am not talking about just bomber jets though, I have fighter vs fighter and people still own me like its a junk and i dont fly in a straight line whatsoever.. when i know they are on me i am doing 360's loopty loops whatever i gotta do to get em off me and they still get me

I consider myself a skilled pilot, say your in a j10 to dodge missles just i duno..hell you dont even need to dodge, but in an f35 my trick is to make a really sharp turn while letting your flaires go then head straight up to about 700 feet and swoop down, you'll be goin really fast an then you can attack the enemy fighter...


Add me to xfire : sstdevilish an i'll practice with ya

Re: What am I doing wrong? (FLYING)

I've said this in other posts and I'll say it again, flying in bf2 is such a meticulous skill that combines a multitude of small tricks, techniques and skills that a few simple tips will not suffice for such a far reaching request. your basically asking how not to get shot down and shoot down other. Yes a simple question but It involves a comprehensive answer. I'd be more than happy to show you how to fly and set you up to survive but it's going to take a whole lot more than tips written in a forum.

that being said I'm not just going to leave you hanging, If you want to learn I'm willing to give you a couple of tutorials to get you up and started on the right foot, let me know if your interested in learning...

You need to use all your camera views and lots and lots of practice. Some pilots have been flying for years starting back in 2002 with Bf1942 then BFV and now since BF2 came out.
