agh the thing was I didn't concentrate on one or the other.. I just kind of mixed it up.. some dogfighting while still trying to get kills. If I would have done one or the other, I probably would have ended up 70-0 or so if I was going for kills, or like... 15-0 if I was just trying to dogfight... but I did a poll and most people wanted to see a mix of both.

Metallica you suck so bad that my eyes bleed!!!









*Ha. Great video, right up there with PWs. I rank it even higher now as its an updated video with a nice mixture of three sides. One, F35B survival against J10. Two, some nice ATA and three, some nice ATS. If there was a video guide for rookies to watch and learn, your video would be first in the list .


PSJU- Its going to be a piece of literature.

Yeah, right now Ive got 9 or 11 finished chapters with a total of at least 7-9 A4 pages of reading. I have a strange feeling that I havent quite put it all on paper so I estimate the final would have 10 or 12, 14 max chapters. Its not a tutorial, its an analyzing research with educational purpose. If anyone wants tips, they can just use TBF2 search function. And since the game is changed with each new patch, I couldnt make a project that would outdate with the next patch. So I focused on something else, something that would outlive patches and thats an insight to a dogfighters state of mind and philosophy of improvement. Everything I wrote up can be said in short, "practice practice practice with better pilots while flying the F35B", but I wanted to make it an interesting read since I know a lot of TBF2 members are hardworking office clerks seeking for good reading material.

Re: A dogfighters guide to improvement (in the making)

Calling it a "dogfighting" guide would be annoying. There are no dogfights in BF2. Dogfighting pretty much ended when Jets came along and doesn't belong here.

Actually what the choppers do up there could be considered a dogfight.

Today in Gulf of Oman a dogfight erupted between me and an F-35. I ran out of missiles but I was still on his tail and no way was I going to let up. He forgot I was behind him, and headed for his carrier, I lined up and took him out with the cannon. Dogfighting is still around and probably more effective. Any good pilot can take out a jet with missiles, it takes a skilled pilot to take them out with cannons.

Thing is, you dont "need" to rely on cannons anymore, and 1 second lock time is just too short to prolongue a dogfight. If you have the target jet in a 45 degree cone after that 1 second has passed, the missile gets the target. There still is dogfighting around, but not as good as it was.

I shot both down within a few minutes of each other, and had forgotten to go over the runway. Both of them were noob pilots that flew really low. And when I mean low....scrapping the ground low. I went for the first one and shot him down with 3 missiles, I went after the second one shortly after, 1 hit him the other 2 went for a friendly helicopter ...and then I shot him. I've had better kills with a cannon..I'm just trying to say, dogfighting is still around and its still fun.
