I needed that guide sooo badly thx
My biggest tip for air: teamwork makes the team work
If everyone is flying solo and being selfish you won’t win, and winning gives your extra sl and rp. And helping eachother can give you easy kills and assists
The thing I don’t like about BnZ, even though it’s the only tactic I’m decent at, is that you’re defenseless while zooming away, at least in my experience
Let’s say I zoom on a plane, well if I miss they ALWAYS just turn right around and follow me while I’m zooming away. Sure I’m a little faster but since I Mm going in a straight line( because trying to dodge removes basically all your energy) I’m just an easy target
can you make a tutorial video like this but for flightstick/joystick players like myself I need a guide for joystick please…
unclear, I got shot down 3000 times and got called a skill issue
bro i failed in physics so idk what enegy u were talking abt there mate
Whenever I choose an opponent I dive down to attack them and once I have them I get hit from behind and even if I break off I get chased how do I stop this from happening
To everyone else struggling, I have 500 hours in Air Battles. I have made it to rank 3 in a singular nation and consistently place last with no kills. Compare yourself to me and say, “Hey, at least I’m better than that astrocyte (or neuron, depending on whether you adhere to the glial or neuronal doctrine) lacking pilot named Pseudo.” Then go and do just as bad as me in your next mission.
I'm so lost I don't know anything😭
i always try to climb a bit at the beginning of every match, but most people stay at 1k/1,5k altitude. So, sometimes the first minutes 2k above them since i do not want to dive
Bestes Video was dieses Thema angeht. Danke dir
Is it tips for the game or physics class 🤷♂️
What happens if you have to fight a f-16 in a p-35a?
I would rather be a glide bomber
Ну и нахера по-аглицки?
super video, weiter so bro
5:55 Sun Tzu over here…
How do u aim properly tho
How do you find out if it’s a boom and zoom, an energy fighter, so on.
Man I win rounds, get kills and still rage quit.
Man I cant even get my plane to fly steady
Is it bad to use the mouse to control
“Right in the middle sit the 109s and the yaks, which are very versatile, but rely heavily on your piloting skill.” That would explain why I prefer the FW-190 to the BF-109
Ok but for console?
when you title a video with ''begginer'' you shouldn't namedrop 30,000 planes in the first 5 minutes.
im sure this is a great guide but it doesnt help me when the settings have different names in game.
for example there is no accelerate or decelerate option in settings, i only see thrust axis which i cant change
i cant even see a Zoom option anywhere
even though I'm kinda bad at air and always find myself get 1 shot by mostly any enemy I encounter this guide helped me a lot and taught me that running away isn't such a bad strategy
(i retreat to my airbase after almost every kill but it still works)
I dont get it
How can you tell which type of fighter you’ve got?
hiphiphura germans know this sentence cooles video
0:20
Is that a tank?
This is a plane.
F*ck.
Great guide! Thank you for making this 👍👌
i cant find a comment asking this' but how do i know my type of plane (boom and zoom, etc)? is there a list or something?
1:02 zoom, do you mean “zoom axis”? Or “targeting optics view”? There is no “zoom” function, this game is so confusing that I had to look up a tutorial for decent key binds..
Good guide. I have 20,000+ Air RB kills and my advice is 'fly to not die'. If you stay alive you'll probably get more points and kills as the skies thin out of fighters. Even the very best pilots will struggle when outnumbered by a swarm of 3 or more enemies. Don't bother with head to head kills. Although sometimes you have no choice, if you can avoid it do so and get yourself in a better position. Also don't fight at a disadvantage. Disengage if you can and, you guessed it get yourself in a better position. Apart from some very basic manoeuvres like an Immelman or Split S don't try to learn air combat manoeuvres and then 'force' them into your game. Every dogfight is different. You have to learn to fly instinctively and the best way to do that is just to try, try and try again. It's an unforgiving environment and there is no fast way to learn except experience. I also realise players want to get on to the better aircraft as soon as possible but I recommend flying at low tiers for as long as possible so you can pick up air combat skills. I usually fly an aircraft about 30 times in Air RB before I move on to the next aircraft. It's very important to build up a knowledge of the capability of your own and enemy aircraft and if you fly the same aircraft over and over again you will learn everything about it….which will come in handy later on when you meet an enemy flying the same aircraft. One last thing. Use the C key a lot! Always scan behind you, above you, below you, to the sides. Good luck, stick with it and you will get better.
