Tips on Shooting Jets Down?

Have you tried strapping some C4 to a log and launching it as soon as they swoop in for a strafe???

Yeah a few lately been jet swarming it must been the pilot school update hype. Everyone just goes in passive mode or they go get a jet themselves to either join in or kill the current player in jet wrecking the session. Tanks are alright, can blow them up (if got access to sticky bombs, grenades or rocket launcher) or just drive far away from them/hide.

 

Just leave session if they continue driving out towards the army base when they die (in cheat mode don't die but crash somehow) because they waste of your ammo & time.

I never seen anyone take a jet down unless in a jet or buzzard heli, but I'm not saying they talking sh*t. I got sniped in a Titan so it's possible but a Titan and jet are not even in the same level..

 

Advice:

Passive mode in current session.

Leave to new session.

The best way is to use the Heavy Sniper, but it's still far from effective. They desperately need a lock on launcher in this game, especially since there's the possibility of a Flight School DLC dropping tomorrow.

I'm sorry but what credible source have you received this info from?

 

The credible source would be the fact the Rockstar released it yesterday. U mad bro?

and any tips for people with no heavy sniper or minigun? the lower level people? (im 75 myself)

a simple sniper rifle will do, just be accurate.

Hard to accomplish with all the things pilots are able to do best option find overhead coverage and just sit or you could use marksman rifle and try that way

I made a jet crash one time and i did not get the kill!!

This jet was flying over me and I took out my heavy sniper and started shooting at it, Thru my scope i see there's smoke coming from it, so i injured it! a few seconds later i see that this kid had died.... i assumed he crashed... but i did not get the kill

Heavy sniper all the way. Aim for the engine or pilot. I've had roughly equal success in taking out both. Best time was a few weeks ago, took out the pilot as he was slowing down for a strafe. Jet skidded down to a stop in a field. Oh, the rage that squeaker gave when I flew off with brought tears to my eyes... :)

If I'm in the city and the jet(s) is on me, I find the nearest cover spot. A lot of these 'Jet Elites' like to show off flying under to take you out of cover. If the pilot doesn't attempt this, use heavy sniper to get him smoking or an RPG for the kill like said above. For those that fly under, throw C4 on upper/lower end of your cover spot. Make sure to spread them out a bit so you have a larger window to get the kill, timing is key.

 

Most of the time I just go for a jet myself to take one out, then hop back out as soon as he's down. I've grown to liking a few dogfights here and there since I started flying not too long ago.

 

Back when I used to play lock-on lobbies around last Christmas, I was on a roof while a jet made a swoop down to hit me. His lineup was off, and I killed him locking onto him with an AR lol. Probably one of the funniest jet kills I've pulled off.

Tons on YouTube. I'd make a video for you on how I taught myself, but I am by far an elite in a jet. I will admit I know how to handle myself in one, but I don't use jets that much so I probably don't have the skills some of these guys do in a jet. Check out Tonksi on YouTube, he's got some pretty good guides for the jets.
