What a good Fighter should be able to do

When playing the other day, after being shot down, I was able to switch to my fighter and get my revenge after nearly getting caught off guard again.

Here is a 40-second clip of what all fighters should learn to do if they want to be competitive in the skies.

On a side note, after using the replay feature for the first time, please create the option to rewind.

Geez! You’re the first person to accomplish that! Congrats!

I gave no idea how you saw him (I can’t see it even when pausing the video).

In Pacific, what I do is even easier, and safer.

I look at the minimap, where is the enemy coming from (huge red line).

I fly around to get BEHIND it. (Most enemies only look at what’s in front of them).

M13 are open top, so a concentrated canon barrage from high altitude can utterly destroy it.

Tip: often, the team won’t mark targets. But pilots completely forget THEY CAN MARK TOO. If you see a canon flash while in the air, MARK. Then you can prepare your plane for the correct diving maneuver without being afraid of losing your target.

Profit.

Thats a smart way to deal with an M13, they definitely would be surprised by that from above.

Yeah I was looking at the replay and wondered how as well! But I must have seen him last second to line up the drop

Or save your bombs and just use your 20mm to kill him?

Here is the tip for wanna be good pilots :
I always dive bomb if its possible, even with rocket planes. Bcs players tend to shoot planes who are not so above and coming horizontal route. Vertical approach petryfies them.
Also more vertical aim ends up more accurate bombing results even with fighters.
Also high altitude helps you to prey on other fighters and attackers. O lot of newbies dont fly in high altitude. So you can see and attack them like a hawk attacking its prey from above. Only biggest flaw of this tactics is when you are dive bombin or climbing after your bombing, you become very vulnerable, if enemy plane saw you first, %80 you will die
