But he did give some really great advice:
He used to post a little on the PBF forums but the people just called him a lame jerk.I followed those tips and have seen me improving over the months. And btw you will not become godly in a day. You will get crashed over and over until you feel like there is no stoping Darth Vader on your ass, no matter how much you try.
- You should watch all his vids and try and imitate what he does.
- His skills in a jet are based on experience, and the only way you can learn is through your own practice, but watching his videos couldn't hurt.- Don't fly around in missile mode but rather in gun mode. This prevents any of the beeping noise to the other jet.
- True- Try and gun the guy down rather than mess with AA. Bullets take the enemy down fast and it will kill him before he knew what happened. It also prevents the beeping alert noise to him.
- True to a certain extent, guns own if the enemy doesn't realize you're on his tail, but when it goes to the wild-goose-chase moments them having missiles are necessary.- Use the thrusters when making turns and during take-off.
- Using thrusters for turning isn't always ideal, it makes you take a wider angle and if he's on your six, gives him an easier time to lock onto you. I never use thrusters on takeoff, completely unnecessary and you wind up wasting afterburn-fuel.- Dive bombing is the way to bomb. It directs the bombs literally instead off the hit-and-miss carpet bombing, and also practice your bombing.
- True- J-10 owns and its as simple as that.
- True- Do loop-de-loops constantly to lose the attacker. You will really loose him if you are in a J-10 because of its turning advantage.
- If you're in a J-10 you can just pretty much do whatever you want and you'll lose him (especially if he's in a JSF). If you're on a JSF though, if given the chance get up to ~900 and slam on the afterburners, you'll break the speed of sound and the J-10 cannot catch up to you ... but this takes a LOT of skill and practice. The ideal way to launch yourself up to that altitude is to do an 'S' shape flight path and you should be near the stall range, just becareful and don't tilt up otherwise the momentum will drive you up past it and you will stall.- Get familiar with the joystick and buy a good joystick.
- I wish I could get one ;(
Myself, I just felt restricted since the keyboard sensitivity / movements feel's so ... "clunky". Kind of like using a D-Pad vs Analog on consoles, it just doesn't give me the freedom / precision of the analog.
