I don't often use hover mode in dogfights (since you'll lose all your speed and it's very risky), but when things go wrong, sometimes it's the only card you can play:

Slightly off topic, but I remember a while back Smooth Longsack (at least I think it was him) was talking about using hover mode to get a ton of kills in piracy prevention. Well anyway, I just did a similar thing with a Savage, so now I know he wasn't kidding:

Sorry for the triple post lol, but here's some dive-bombing. Oldest trick in the book I know, and it's not all that hard to do, but it's a good example of how it should be done. Done like this, it'll be a thousand times harder for any RPG to hit you.

Bit of comedy I observed earlier this week while in a lobby with 8-9 people using jets:

 

 

 

Not one to just mock other people, I also accidentally killed myself in the same lobby when my attempt to use VTOL in a Hydra to force an overshoot ended up causing the other guy to crash into me and kill both of us...

So, the bane of CEO operations, the dreaded to all ground peasants and the most fun armed vehicle(s) in the game barely gets any discussion these days.

 

Ironic that the "buff no-skill launcher, nerf jets!!!!1!!!11" threads are all gone when the prominence and the disruptions caused by jet domination are at all-time high.

The P-996 Lazer is first and foremost based on the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

I don't even know where to start. Words can't describe my appreciation for the beast.

 

So much money made and distance traveled for such low effort. I'm rarely on the ground, I spend most my time in my hydra. I'm not always aggressive and usally keep to myself but I can be "that guy", most of the time I don't bother anymore and just protect myself and staff when I'm working and I'm always working.

 

Tips that I used to get better, own the garage by the base and run contact missions that don't have cops. I don't recommend all of the cop-less missions but some are great practice. Artificial scarcity is the one that helped me. Mixed up with coke is ok too but less targets to practice on and two of them don't move.

 

Start the mission in the garage, hop the fence at the base, grab a jet and take your time with the targets.

Jets really had a pretty big buff in range when current gen started. It's hard to appreciate it when you're going fast in the air, but when you hover you can notice it much better.

Apparently, I have trouble landing sometimes.

Screenshot-Original%2038_zpshazqvgh1.png

 

And it's not just me either.

Screenshot-Original%2047_zpsvecmjgow.png

 

Other times, it's trying to take off where things go wrong.

Sometimes, even a successful landing in a tough spot is still far too close.

That range is just umm mouth watering haha. Looks atleast double then that on LG. Range is tiny on LG especially in dogfights. Lately I find myself either killing myself or with a smoky jet after firing at another jet that is too close. Its pretty annoying when you shoot the sh*t out of another jet just to find you have committed suicide as your enemy rides out into the sunset. Or just as bad these guys that crash directly into you and they walk away without a scratch. Oh well back to the base lol

Of course i flew under that arch in the mountains. A guy chasing me in a fighter blew up trying to follow. I've fallen in love with the assault and fighter planes. Chech out the tank buster package on the assualt planes. It's a slow slow rate of fire but it's a one shot on assault and fighter planes. It takes two shots to take down a bomber. I'm definitely gonna buy the bf1.

 

Rip cod.

 

Eta- are you taking about the pass by the F flag? Lol no i haven't flown through there yet. Loggin on now.

BF1 (which is mostly awesome) makes me think of what the Duster could've been :/ Just wish I could rank up in it...

You can! in a sense, you rank up your gear instead of lvls atm. Took some time to do but yeah it's possible. I thought the same as you until it happened ;)

Sadly, i haven't been recording any of my bf1 shenanigans. My game dvr is full and i want to make a gta montage before i delete. I've done some great things with the attack plane with the tank buster kit.

 

Besides the game being super fun, i hope they tweek the planes so that the camera can swivel like in gta. There is an option to toggle the camera swivel but it doesn't work.

yeah agreed that little tweek would be better & yeah i was mainly in 3rd person until it came to shooting them down, that had to be done in first person. :cool: Those tank buster grenades are op to f*ck :D

Yeah I figured out it meant class rank, but I got the scout to Rank 1 and... it reset to zero. Tried the "set up loadouts on the website" trick but no buy buttons for me, other than vehicles. Grr. That's betas I guess.
