  • Jet tips.

    Seeing many people being miserable on jets, i decided to make a guide for them.

    Bombing

    1. Save your afterburner!
    If you keep using the afterburner to get to targets faster because you are impatient, fighters will have no problems getting you down. Use afterburners when you are locked on to or going vertical.

    2. Let the co-pilot fire
    If there is a tank on the ground, and you are out of bombs, fly directly to it with 60-80% throttle and wait for your copilot to take him out. The laser guided missiles are horribly powerful.

    Don't dive bomb!
    When you are in a bomber, dive bombing is not very good, since you are launching 5 bombs and when diving they will hit a very small radius. If you fly directly horizonal and drop them, there will be a line of destruction.

    Dodging fighters
    Bombers wont shake good fighter pilots at all by doing complicated manouvers, the best way to get rid of a fighter is to fly vertical, get the burners running and fly straight up, this is really hard, but when you have the right altitude, then pitch up and go down again, in certain altitude planes will lose control and most likely land out in the deserter zone, and since fighters are a tad faster than bombers, the guy behind you is more likely to lose control.

    Dogfighting

    Wait for flares
    If you get a clear lock, don't fire before the target has fired his flares, because unlike helicopters, aircraft have a long reload time of flares, and you will have plenty of time to take him down.

    Machineguns
    Out of missiles? Don't worry, the machineguns of aircraft will tear other aircraft in pieces in no-time. Just make sure that you have around 30 cm leading in front of the aircraft if it is pictching.

    Keep the bomber sight
    If you see an enemy aircraft that is moving randomly, then put on the bomber sight and wait for him to drop his bombs, then wait till he heads on home, and when he gets static on the way home, change to missiles and blow him out of the sky.

    Use F9-F10-F11-F12
    If the target gets out of sight, use the F(9-12) buttons to locate him, then keep hunting.

    Global tips

    Repairs
    Don't land for repairs, its safer to fly over the airfield a few times. The only safe aircraft to go get repairs is the F-35B, since you are hovering you can always increase altitude if someone tries to take you out and dodge him.

    F-35B Rocket Launch
    Many of you know how to make the F-35B launch like a rocket by thrusthing down to -100% and then full throttle with burner. But sometimes you go backwards out of the carrier deck and end up drinking salty water, when you thrust negative, pitch up until the tail hits the ground, if you pitch more than that you will be wet, then full throttle with burners and take off.

    Radar
    When strafing and bombing enemy targets, make sure that there are no friends around it by checking the radar, since guys that are about to C4 a tank and land in a bombing strike, even if the tank dies, will be pissed off and punish you.

    Hope it helps some of you.

                        Re: Jet tips.

                        getting back on topic here.

                        i'm fairly competent when it comes to actual flying however when i have a target locked onto me i ALWAYS get pwned , yet when i fire on other targets when in dog fights 50% of the time the missiles miss the target, how do pilots do that ?

                        and what kind of throttle % should i be using for different tasks ?

                            i usually try to kep 100% throttle..u cant turn as tightly when ur going slower and turning is waht lets u evade missiles since missiles dont turn as well as ur jet
