I usually circle around a bit, hope that they don't follow me. ![]() If your being trailed, and you have no wingman, prepare to show some l33t flying skills. Because even if you have a good shot, then can easily escape. In order to be good at taking down a plane, you must be a better pilot than your enemy. Shoot about a half a plane or so in front of them, hope that it hits their engine. If they are turning, that is your chance to do major damage. The bottom side of the plane is weaker than tail (also, you might hit their engine, which is VERY weak). Once you get close enough, shoot UNDER their plane (as in shoot their landing gears and stuff). If you have someone in your front, try to sneak up on them. This is very hard unless your good at flying. Dive bombing is also very effective (fly high, then dive straight down. Once you get the hang of that, you should have a good *feel* for bombing, in which you can easily adapt to different heights. Its nearly impossible to be shot down by infantry unless they are super good or you are careless. In single player, practice bombing on static targets, especially AA guns, as those are your first objective while in the air (make a habit to take out all AA guns, even if they are not occupied, it will prevent you from being shot down. I cant exactly tell you how far you must release bombs to hit your targets, because that depends on your height (I fly LOW, so I release them quite late not to mention it is hard to hit me with AA ). Fly at this height as much as possible, and practice bombing targets. I don't quite know how to explain this, but what I suggest you do is set a height from the ground in which you fly at all times. ![]() The possibility of dying from being shot in the rear is greater then being shot from the side (unless they are experts, then you will die either way ). And when you go in your bombing runs, keep checking your rear. ![]() Most pilots die not because the other person was a good shot, but because someone snuck behind them and shot them up before they could respond. Once you get some alone time, change your view and look around on all sides, especially the back. Once in the air, you must check your surroundings. A plane taking off is one of the easiest targets in the game. If you see it coming back awfully close, jump and start running. ![]() Also, if you see a plane whizzing by, place yourself straight on the runway, and then view towards the plane (side view or whatever). Don't squeeze between walls, vehicles, or other planes, as usually you will hit something. You need quite a bit of space to take off, so don't try doing it in confined spaces. And I seem to be able to get top 3 in most games I play. It works well for me, more than a joystick would. I use a Keyboard/Mouse combination for flying. you will be missing so much targets simply because you see them too late. If you don't or cant handle that, don't bother. In order to be good at flying any airplane in Battlefield, you MUST have 100% or close to 100% viewing distance. If you don't, you must go get BF1942, NOW! Anyways, I writing this based on my fighter/bomber experience (and since I only use planes, thats quite a lot of time ). A few of you play Battlefield 1942, so you should know what I'm talking about.
