You're most likely missing, people really don't practice actually aiming in WT, especially the U.S players that think they have infinite ammo. In a zero or similar plane you have to fire within 300m or less to really gaurentee hits. I see so many people blow through their 20 mils spraying at one plane and wonder why they're out of ammo.

Man happened a couple times... One, my SOVIET (low ammo) team, FIRST shot the AI planes, and went back to the base. I was ahead of them, alone, no time to retreat, and the enemy ENTIRE team went on me and killed me of course. The other time, after the initial combat, our survivors fighters were killing AI planes while a few enemies were above us. I was close to the allies and saw the enemies dividing on us. Reported them coming but they ignored and kept shooting AI planes... OF COURSE enemy dived ON ME and killed me first, while my team mates, who were just beside me, ignored me while enemy was diving on me... Oh man RB gives you a hard time sometimes lol. The problem is not AI, it's actually good for strategy, easy kills (when enemy is shooting them carelessly), and to get some extra points. The problem is when your teammates act like these examples I told you

6:00 that's one of the best dives I've seen, slow calculated and with a cool head!

Personally, I've perfected a special headon trick with enemy P-51s. The idea is to dodge a headon very early, like at 2 km distance (changes depending on speed of course). If he tries to go straight, then I'll have completed a 180 degree turn onto his tail at a very close range, rather than being outside of guns range when I complete the turn. If he instead tries to get on my tail because I start turning so early, I can bait him to lose his energy and overshoot, giving me a shot. As long as you don't get shot down exposing yourself like that, you pretty much always get a good shot at the enemy before they escape.

@AdamTheEnginerd

6 жыл бұрын

2 km? When you complete the 180 degree turn he'll be in perfect firing distance from 700m or so? I'm not sure I understand that first part. The second part is what I do, I bait him close and up if possible, which gives me a few seconds of firing time before he gets out of range.

@J7Handle

I am slowly agreeing about the germans being the hardest planes to fly. Being a middle ground means adapting against the enemy planes, but is hard to do when both spitfire and a p51 is both on the tail. But I think there's something about fw 190 D's dogfighting ability. I refuse to believe it is restricted to bnz/bnr like most people say.
