As far as i know fighter planes had a rear view mirror(s) any chance this will be implemented in the furture?
And my second question, how is it possible that some pilots know exactly where you are, i dont see opfor soldiers on the ground when i’m in a plane.
But some know exactly where you are and bomb the living shit out of you time after time, no matter where you are on the map not even the cover of trees or buildings will help you.
And no, i’m not the person that follows the lemmings to B or hide with them on the obvious spots. I use sniper alot and stay well hidden so i don’t get marked. Sorry for the bad englisch.
Bombs have a huge explosion range. There are a lot of reasons why you get bombed, I can see players on the ground if you go low enough. People can ping you and I bomb where people ping if they show to be reliable. Some spots that seem to be really smart are smart but more people use them. There are not infinite spots that are great sniper spots and a random missile in a spot kills you.
so put retro to fighters, already that hunters are chasing planes !!! which is not really the case, 95% of the time they use it to drop bombs or rockets without chasing enemy planes when it is their priority job.
for the bombings it is a force to play airplane they declare the spots to be bombed. there is no secret there.
Also to know that even if you hide away with your snipers, do not forget when you kill, there is a kind of replay kill, so your position can be found, is enough just after a player marks you with the key V. a little advice if you want to snip, kill and move places from time to time, otherwise you will be countered and not understand how. For my part, I often have fun doing only counter sniping, with my snips, just by understanding where they are or because I also know the sniper spots.
some Pilots avoid fights against other Planes - because its really hard to fly.
Btw what i cant understand is > when i fight sometimes against Enemy Planes - then they can.
1: fly loops
2: climp/dive up really fast
3: turn fast around
Cant find out how they are doing that o.o Is here a special Key for it or so? ( i fly atm just with Mouse and w,s,a,d )
When i want follow them ( with the same turn manoveur ) then my Plane crash in the Ground - same when i want do a Loop ( then my Engine goes off and i crash ).
( fly atm a advanced Stuka )
Do you use flaps? when you in a dog fight better put your flaps in combat and if you want to climb fast you can put them in take off but that slows your plane down really fast so i only use that comming out of a dive.
if you did not change your control keys you could change w and s to increase/decrease trottle.
And checked the Stuka ( Ju ) - so the first German Dive Bomber and the IL 2.
Cant find on them Combat Flaps ( it show for me only “Flaps up” and Landing Flaps )
