This is how you evade Homing Launcher rockets with the Hydra

[shmok2]

Until recently players who used the Homing Launcher against my Hydra managed to hit me many times. In the last 2 days, since I found out how to successfully evade, my success rate is 100%.

 

Before you start to attack other players you need to fly for something like 30 seconds in order to reach top speed & from that moment you never stop pressing the accelerator button in order to permanently stay in top speed. After someone fired a rocket at your Hydra you need to do a non stop side loop until the rocket will explode. In many cases doing a regular loop with the Hydra doesn't work. Don't know why. It simply doesn't work.

 

With the Lazer & Besra it's ridiculously easy to evade Homing Launcher rockets by doing the regular loop (I was never hit by a Homing Launcher rocket while I flew the Lazer/Besra) so I think that during a regular loop the Hydra slows down.

What is a side loop?

What is a side loop?

 

Instead of flying up & eventually coming back to where you started you make a turn & eventually come back to where you started.

So an aileron roll?

 

[size_m]

no, as he said a turn!

a turn to one direction until you have flown a whole circle.

what's so difficult to understand about that?

[JuZ 75]

I get it now, thank you.

Yup just tip your wings to 90 degrees and lift the nose and fly in a circle until missle goes boom.
