No no hits at all!

The more i play this game the more frustration i get
Trying BnZ tactics but i just dont get them, seem to lose my targets more often, crash more often i dunno whats goin on with me aswell.

Practise makes you better right? Doesent seem to work with me.

I'm clueless, i just cant like the demo anymore
I hope when i finally have the full game i can get more knowledge play some games with cool ppl. And all will be fine.
I hope

If you keep having trouble finding your mark, switch to the virtual cockpit for a while... it will allow more visibility. Just stick to the basics, the AI isn't all that challenging for the situation. In dogfights, the 109 will just use a simple spilt S or just try and out climb you. Don't expect anything, just keep with him and put well placed shots into the engine.

PS: if you want more detailed help PM, or stay close to this forum, we are all willing to help you see the beauty of this game.

I do see the beauty, Im fighting against the FW190's mostly in Tiger Hunt.
Im just having really bad days lately, like i keep getting worse now

Im trying to figure out BnZ tactics, after reading. But im just having a hard time succesfully applying them.

Also trying to improve my Awareness, But i lose targets often with a blink of an eye even if they are right in front of me, with some difficulty i find them again though.

Still getting frustrated about the engine, feeling it just can stop any second..
Sounds like a xbox 360 to me! haha. Hope to figure out what is causing the stopping engine.

A) I don't even know where to begin trying to apply new tactic, so good luck with BnZ. B ) Tiger hunt has REALLY bad visibility. The sun is pretty direct and the there are a lot of thin clouds that restrict visibility w/o you even realizing it; so don't be too discouraged about that level. If you want a confidence boost, dog-fight in Dover as there are a lot of escort 109's after they tell you to go to the harbor. You can usually find one pretty quickly and engage it. That level is a lot easier to spot and keep track of targets.
C) The lack of sound for stalling is a bug in the demo that will be corrected for the final product, so don't fret too much.

Thanks!

Well im lucky not to have too much problems with stalling
I guess im just having some bad flying days haha.

You can memorize where they are by zooming into the guages and reading what they measure.
