planes suck

@CooperCreeper18  I see a lot of anger here and unfortunately it's easy to get worse the more you get frustrated as you're not flying to the best of your ability. You'll start going more aggressive, get tunnel visioned and ultimately lost all sense of surroundings which will see you back at the home screen in no time.

Yes the Fliegerfaust is an extremely powerful weapon but it's not unbeatable. Here are some tips that I guarantee you better results in future and while these seem like common sense and you may tell other people yourself, very seldom to people take their own advice.

Firstly if you know there is a section of the map that has people shooting at you with the FF avoid it, don't try and get back at them because this is what they want, they will hide in bushes, behind houses, etc and it will only cause you to get more and more frustrated, leading to more and more deaths. Just let it go and steer clear.

Secondly when going in for a strafing run, be aware of not only your height but distance to target. You can strafe low but allow yourself enough turning time to keep out of the FF range and this goes for both factions.

Thirdly if you are in pursuit of an enemy fighter and they start to descend towards the island IMMEDIATELY pull up towards the ceiling and watch behind you. One of two things will happen with that fighter, they will either head towards their resupply station which you can then follow while remaining near the ceiling to enable a quick dive boom and zoom or two they will loop off towards the water once they realize you are not behind them and at altitude they will not be able to see you when looking straight back as you will be out of their FOV. One thing is certain and that is you will avoid being baited by either FF or the Type 10.

Forth, in a dogfight it doesn't come down to who has leading edge, which has radar or even who gets on who first, it's who utilizes their aircraft the best. I don't run the leading edge or radar on any of my aircraft and I can comfortably turn the tables on nearly every aircraft that gets on my six but initiating various manoeuvres, speed control and using the surrounding environment to my advantage. If you're one of these people who have been spamming stall as your primary defence then of course you will have major issues when dealing with decent pilots as this is actually a very easy thing to counter which will leave you sitting in the air like a floating piñata. Stalling should be used ONLY as a last resort when they are so close behind you that they can practically see the pilot.

Fifth and final, fly smart. I know this may sound redundant but flying with full awareness of your height/distance to enemy ground targets, knowing where both the enemy and friendly fighters are at all times, keeping an eye on mounted AA positions through the use of the minimap (the AA icon will disappear when mounted until spotted up) and if you're in a party, keeping good communication with your team is key.

Flying isn't simply choosing a plane and watching your score go up, flying actually takes a lot of patience and skill to use effectively, for if it was that easy to go 100+ in a game everyone would do it but alas only a handful of skill players can pull this off. Learn from these pilots, watch videos but most importantly take every game as a learning opportunity to improve on your next
