Right aircraft for the right job and a few stupid questions

nurfman · #1 09-23-2009, 02:47 AM

Online Id class myself as a noob in but i am learning and as long as i ramp up in skill to hold my own that is fair enough. I have however noticed that some people including my self are using aircraft that dont seem fit for the game mode example strike and as i know some of you are hardcore online aviators so i ask the question(s)

1. Which aircraft is the best for noobs to learn and which is the hardest?

2. What range do you begin to fire your weapons?

3. Ive been ripped quite a few kills by nuggets crashing ..i guess on purpose but i noticed last night the enemy were landing ..... silly question but does this repair the aircraft?

4.Any pointers or even or tips would be great.

This all refers to simulation mode,

But I think the Spitfire MkIV is a great plane to begin with.

I 16 is also a good training plane. Just watch the dive.

About 1 km to fire guns... I wait 'till I'm much closer though because I play with limited ammo.

That enemy was probably landing for fun... No ammo refils.

A lot of the people on realistic and sim aren't crashing on purpose. It's because their plane is too dammaged to fly.

No problem friend.

If you're on XBox and are interested in flying some simulation dogfights then feel free to add me. Tag: PedroTheGoat

It may be a tad frustrating for the first while you play with us. I mean, you'll be flying with the top 10 ranked in the world. (Not that that says a WHOLE lot. Not a lot of people play online simulation) But if you stick with us then you'll become really good and you'll have a lot of fun flying with us. We're good peeps. I'm going to bump my Simulation flight school thread up so you can take a read.

1. Which aircraft is the best for noobs to learn and which is the hardest?
Yak-3 is I think, the best plane to learn to fly. It's easy to handle, and is fast. The hardest would probably be like a P-51 just because of the hadling

2. What range do you begin to fire your weapons?
About 900ft or 274 meters if you prefer. Like Predro, I use limited ammo so I need to make my shots count.

3. Ive been ripped quite a few kills by nuggets crashing ..i guess on purpose but i noticed last night the enemy were landing ..... silly question but does this repair the aircraft?
What Pedro said, probably just for fun?

4.Any pointers or even or tips would be great.

Answers are in BOLD!

It's possible that people were landing because you were playing a Capture the Airfield match.
