1. Get your jet.

2. Kill everyone in freeroam until they go passive or leave the server.

3. If someone manages to bring you down or you crash into a building, go passive and repeat steps 1 and 2.

I can't stand those passive bastards. A lot of assholes will go passive right before I down them, then they tease me for eternity. Pisses me off.

 

While I've got you here, why is it that I can never win dogfights?

 

Homing missiles in particular - I can get a perfect lock-on to someone's tail, fire, and they just keep flying in a straight line and the missile doesn't connect.

 

But when somebody gets a lock-on on me, I can fly straight, do flips, loops, corkscrews, veer off to the side... nothing I can do can dodge them.

 

Plus, I can't get a lock-on to people unless they're within a couple hundred metres but others can get lock-on on me from miles away... I just don't understand.

if you are lower altitude than your opponent, the missles will not lock. I only use missles to force a pilot to turn or loop so I can catch up and position to fire my canons.

Anyways, the outside loop attack is immune to almost any defense. Lol

Now that FINALLY AFTER TWO YEARS players actually know how to retaliate... I was wondering what the latest Air to Ground method would be.

How do you people get targets on foot so easily? I always have to go on first person to see them :/

you learn to distinguish exactly where they are from the radar, and pick that spot out and hit it. You get to know all the hiding spots and how to hit them. You're not always trying to see the person, but hit where you know they are based on radar, and experience. If they are firing minigun or rockets, that can often give their location away. Dispite how the videos look, it often takes more than one strafe. The only place I really look for the actual person is in wide open areas such as the beach, and the mountains. And a good tip for the mountains when spawn killing, players usually spawn on the spine.

Killing people with jets is so damn costly. I pay at least 100k in insurance almost every time I get on it.

just place $2000 bounties on anyone in a PV. If you're good, placing and killing bounties is the fastest way I've found to rank up in this game. Look for high rank players especially.

 

I was just gonna ask for an Ultra update. How many deaths?

 

Nice hat :D

It's very confusing to the target. I use this technique to get the rpg+suicide players. This method works well if you can't time their respawns for an attack.

 

Hey, jackal. Could you please make the video, of you against the Italian bloke, public again. You set it to private. I was trying to explain the perfect turn to someone and pointed out your vid.

There is no other place to live but 2000 Great Ocean highway on my jet profiles

I should also add that a Del Perro Heights apartment is great to have for a jetter. You can use the heist warp and Del Perro is the closest high-end apartment to Great Ocean Highway. You can easily afford Del Perro after completing the flight school. Then you can afford everything else you need after doing a fleeca (+first time bonus 100k). I highly suggest making a jet only profile.

 

I can literally have a character with 2000 great ocean garage, a highend apt, special carbine, marksman rifle and a bati/ hakachou in less than two (probably more like three... but still) hours, starting from level 1. Not to mention the highest kd in the lobby.

Sometimes I record my dogfights. I figured this might come in handy for some of you. Me versus a italian pilot.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Erc4mW-TvY

 

 

If you look in the description you will see a link to another dogfighting video.

 

 

Also If you want to see more you can check out this guys channel for more. He is on break for a while but he acted as a agent for pro dogfighters to schedule matches.

 

This is the video to watch, guys. Let's discuss the minutia out of this thing.

Thank you, Jackal.

Is the barrel roll + rudder missile dodge somewhat nerfed, or is it simply not appropriate in the Lazer with its weaker rudder and such?

Hate to promote myself like a whore.... but.. this is in case I make any more dogfight videos in the future. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjHEeyUxvc9_RatmsO0c4eA

Subbed.

I really don't ever use that technique. I'll always opt for straight line speed or a flat circle. It's just too easy. If that missile is fired from another jet and locks, you're already in trouble cause he's behind you. In this case, i think an angled Immelmann turning into a flat circle might be appropriate... or passive :| Edited by Smooth Longsack

Yo longsack.... I know a military crew that is pretty well structured, and they are looking to recruit pilots. You interested?

I'll play if you're in it. I'm real happy with the crew (Line of Sight) I'm in right now but I'm free to be in another and not be kicked out.

The crew is called Sentinel PMC.

When I mean structured, I mean REALLY well put together.

 

Leader's gamertag is "Sentinel Oryx."

 

You can also contact "Sentinel Tribal."

TDMS, most of their crew is composed of skilled infantrymen. Me and Zkydash were looking for a decent milsim crew to fly in, and they really wanted dogfighters.

 

They are looking for the best skilled players they can, air or ground. A strictly structured PMC crew.

i'll request an invite , i love air to ground

Contacting the leaders and telling them I sent you is probably the best method.

i use it. Dangerouse if you're going too slow though. It takes some technique. It isn't just a straight forward barrel roll with rudder added. You have to actually work the stick, widening or narrowing the roll (I call it cork screw), to throw off the rocket, and gain or maintain speed advantag. A narrow cork screw will give you more speed, but a wide cork screw will be too much for the rocket to follow. You need a combination of both depending on the situation if the rocke is right on your ass. It can be tricky. I've got it down, although, once in a while, one will sting me sending me back to the base in flames, or ejecting out in a hurry. Edited by huckmonkey

is there a jet pilot crew we can join ? used to be in the 8492nd a while ago now

Crews come and go. I'd love to practice stacking luxors on the maze tower with you, stang. Come to the darkside on xb1. I'll probably end up flying with you sometime, biker.

Biker, message me your gt. I've got a crew for you if your kd is a 2.0 or better. If it's not a 2 but close, that'll do too.

WHEN ARE WE GETTING CONCORDE!!!! Could care less for any other luxury jet.

That would be cool! That's what the luxor delux should have been! I think though that kinda of speed is out of the question due to rendering abilities of current gen. I just NEED NEED NEED the blimp in gtao. Please R*, let this happen! ...and let us use a crew tag for the logo. That's all i want for Christmas.

it's been said before but i'd like the Rustler in the next update , 8 x .50 cals in the wings would be lethal in a dogfight , also a forward firing gun and a rear firing gun for back seater in the duster would be good too , it'd be full on carnage with a lobby full of those mixed up in a huge turning fight :panic:
