Why are people afraid of dogfights in Tunisia?

Tunisia campaign has some of the most iconic fighters, the FWA1, Spitfire MKV, I literally am dedicated CAS, I kill one person, nobody else flies, I know no ordance doesn’t help appeal, but c’mon can have some awesome dogfights…give me a challenge please!

I have flown against 2 very good pilots in Tunisia, I know there are more flyers out there. I’m maxing out my planes, already max campaign level…

Mostly it’s just waste of time, not many people will have fun and fck around when the grind is sucking their sould out of their bodies, and only decent xp is from zerg rushing the point.

If I get 6 kills in planes, I can get 250-300 per kill, that puts me top or in top 3 usually , not always but changing role in EL makes fatigue and grind less painful.
At least for me. I fly waiting for a duel. Maybe when tail gunners get added things will change I guess…

  1. No air-to-ground ordnance means low amount of kills and xp.
  2. Air-to-air kills don’t give enough xp.
  3. Enlisted is mostly populated by players that want to play with infantry weapons, as if you like vehicles, chances are you’ll like warthunder for that more.

So if the planes give you no xp and you can have more intense dogfights in warthunder, there’s barely any reason to play fighters in Tunisia.

I like the combined arms, actually making a difference, I don’t want third person pros on WT owning me constantly.

The rush when you are in you cockpit, someone on your tail, or when you trail someone open up with your cannons and watch them burst into flames.

If you see me on, I will guaranteed give you a fight, I am slowly grinding up my planes, so to avoid fatigue… I am even getting good at strafing the ground, maxed my Hurri like that, didn’t use Italian plane yet.

As for XP, I get 250-300 per kill, which isn’t bad, then when you die, deploy rally, get a few more then back to air patrols.

I guess I can’t force people and the lack of incentive to get a plane where people might not bother to take one against you, is a valid point.

The problem is that fighters with no bombs aren’t really combined arms. It’s just air to air. There’s plenty of games that do that better.

I’d tell you to go play warthunder simulator if it wasn’t completely dead. But I would reccomend IL-2. Great air combat sim.

The problem is that a tank will overall earn you 2-3x as much within the same timeframe.

Not rly when you learn how to strafe run which every fighter pilot must learn. And HE ammo rly helps to. Youre basically an MG from the sky and can hit targets behind where friendlies cant hit (inside trenches to). Heck from time to time you even manage to take out spawn points :wink:

its a waste of time.

i dont even care about others in the air when i bomb with the stuka or the english plane.

i rather die and move on than wasting few mins chassing another plane for a few hundred xp.

And you end up doing like what, 1-2 kills every pass? About a third of what you can do with infantry weapons? And ulike bombs or rockets, it has no real impact on pushes. You’re better off with an Enflield.
Like, sure you can strafe, but with light machine guns that’s incredibly inefficient and barely does anything. As sure, mg from the sky and all that, but that mg is inaccurate af, from far range and has to be aimed while flying at high speeds.
All in all, it’s a waste of time unless your plane has strong cannons, which most/all of the tunisia fighters lack.

I’d also add to that the following: People are way too fixated on doing daily tasks which don’t allow to play the game like a human and not a bot. Not their fault, it’s the way this game is set up, but still.

The grind incentive (that isn’t there for fighters in Tunisia) needs to be very attractive for them to get off the daily task rails. Meanwhile using something “for fun” is nearly unthinkable for many players with the way everything is set up.

How are daily tasks a problem?
I do them all the time and the only thing they sometimes urge me to do is to play a different campaign.
Otherwise, if you don’t like a task, you can always reroll, and the bottom one is always doable in 1 battle (except for the 1 variation which tells you to capture a point), so 3 battles a day should take care of that.

Its because dog fighting is rather useless in enlisted if your in a plane you may as well just unload your ordinance onto the ground forces then parachute out or just press escape and suicide.

Your much more useful of the ground if you do want proper dog fighting its probably best to go and play war thunder.

Fighters are kind of a waste of time in enlisted its more useful to play in something with bombs or rockets to maximize damage against ground units.

2-8+ kills including spawn points and strat things… yes it depends and ? whats your point ?
Can your infantry men shoot thru rooftops and pen tru buildings like butter ? Or fly from the top and shoot in to trenches as one ex ?

In regards to popularity of dogfights in Tunisia they are a problem because they are almost entirely infantry based. It’s a good thing in of itself (as “good” as anything related to that atrocious mechanic can be anyway) because infantry is required for game modes to function, but it adds another layer of reasons to avoid airplanes.

I’d very much like to see you get an 8 kill pass in a hurricane. As that seems impossible. 2-8 kills is Bf-110 C territory.

My point being that it’s useless and basically does nothing.

They can pen buildings as much as mgs, and I can jump in a trench and get more kills with an SMLE than with a hurricane pass.

And stop editing your comments like that, it’s annoying af.

Aw to bad :slight_smile: Well you just have to get good

I mean, not exactly.
Sure, there’s more infantry based ones, than aircraft ones, as there’s more types of infantry weapons, but I find that most of them are neutral, so I don’t find it to be a problem.

Then again, I do play mostly infantry, so I could be biased on that.

Or you have to stop lying.

It depends. :slightly_smiling_face:

Lying about what ? That Fighter pilots can actually be effective in strafe running ?

8 kills in a pass with light mgs only
