The high altitude and ZnBers rule the game now for sure and getting wasted with two bursts happens all the time.

Every game it takes over a min to get in.

Almost every game the team is ridiculously unfair.

and it only takes a sec to be killed by those high level aircrafts.

wthis with those heavies fighters? They are just so overpower. When ever I'm fighting another aircraft there is always that one a$$hole with heavy dive right down from up the top and fk me up in 2 sec. seriously!!! How is this fair??

Welcome to the game and the forums! These guys here have some very good advice. I couldn't put it better myself.

It is only a problem when they level up too fast like the OP did. Tier 4 is where you really learn about altitude. Remember speed is life and altitude equals speed.

Highest guy at the start has the biggest advantage. The guys that dont know this like the noobs dont stand a chance.

You have to have 500 battles + before you actually get a feel for the game. I am not there yet - I still don't understand the game! But I do understand that the higher you are, the better. Every plane has an advantage and a disadvantage.

 

Watch up on youtube videos, learn it first!

You just started. You have much to learn yet.

 

Heavy fighters are not very maneuverable and you can easily turn and avoid them as they can't turn with you.

 

1-2 minute wait time is fine.  Patience Luke.

Maybe fly higher so you're the one on top? Heavies are not very maneuverable, so get up top, and burn em down before they get you.

 

It's all about energy. Altitude = Energy.

Fly high, fly fast, fly smart, and shoot first.

 

comeon dude have u ever seen a fighter able to seriously out alt a f2h

I have been killed by fighters in an f2h, and have killed f2h flying fighters, so yeah, it is a serious threat, but you have to know when and how to push an attack, or you'll stall and die.

I know a yak won't, but I've killed many a f2h's in this game with the F-94D, MIG9, and others.

What Warchylde meant was to get above the heavies after they have gotten towards the bottom of their zoom dive. Thus as they are climbing back up and slowing down, you can pounce on them. There are so many strategies to deal with heavies. And, the highest guy only has the advantage until he gives it up. As soon as he makes his first dive, he's lost his advantage until he climbs back to altitude again. That's when the low boys can light him up. There are some planes that actually do worse at altitude. There's no reason to take a Yak or Zero past the green altitude band. Just stay on the outside of the fight and wait until the big guys run out of energy... then they are helpless. Yeah, that's a little harder in higher tiers, but the OP wasn't talking about that. Fighting a heavy is all about timing. Turn sideways so it's harder for him to hit you. Turn into him and dive under so he closes too fast to get a good shot. Turn early before he passes you so that when he does, your guns are ready. If he's already past you, you will only have a second to shoot him. Turn early to increase your time on target. Fly at a 90 degree angle from his angle of attack or dive towards him to lessen the amount of time he has to shoot you. Also, if you are flying a weaker airplane, you don't have to fight against a heavy. Pick and choose your battles. If he dives at you, a quick turn and dive the other way will have you miles from him in no time. Get your allies to take on the harder targets.

Yes....a P.1092 can do it

Besides, ya ignorant troll, this guys is in Tier 2 &3, where not many heavy pilots know what they're doing....kinda like yaself.

Probably be awhile before he sees the likes of a Banshee or a Seraph.

Some great advice above. Here's a little more commentary:

 

1) Yes, as stated, attack heavies and high altitude aircraft when they come down into their dive and specifically at the bottom of their dive. They can't kill everyone unless they come down from the clouds.

 

2) As they come down ON YOU, learn to position your aircraft so they can't just blast you away - make it hard for them. Heavies don't maneuver that well, and a fast aircraft can flip, turn, and GO UNDER the dive and survive just fine. Then after you scoot under their dive pull up, roll, and be on their tail as they climb.

 

3) While they are flying high, kill all of their team mates to gain POINTS towards supremacy. This puts pressure on them to attack OR LOSE, and that means they will come down, and sometimes the rush to catch up and come down pressures them to attack too early, or in a bad dive, or they crash into the ground, or they pull out of the dive, lose energy, and are now just flying low trying to regain momentum. That's when you kill them.

 

4) Yes, as stated, remember the planes are not equal in capability. You must SKILL UP your pilot with the right SKILLS to match his aircraft, and also the UPGRADES that make that particular aircraft BETTER.

 

if you don't do #4, you still won't do well. Its part of the winning equation and how the game is designed. You have to leverage all these things then also master your own skill.
