This might be the first time I've ever watched a guide that was thorough, wholesome, didn't waste time and was fun to watch. Also the first time I've felt proud of myself for knowing most of it, with my own in game performances being almost a good as game play shown here, I feel proud of how far I've come as a pilot, and only hope to improve further. Loved the video, easy subscribe, thanks man
Watching some of these dogfights is pretty intense. I was playing conquest 64 and flying a nightbird, enemy was in the stealth chopper (still new to this game, don't know the name) and we were doing circles around each other and taking shots for what felt like eternity. He won in the end because his team had AA and the score was something like 100 v 500 at the time of the fight, with my team losing.
The last dogfight was really insane. I would have been died 10 times. I don't know if i will be ever on that insane skill lvl but thumbs up you're a god. Never saw a realistic dogfight like that on a video game. Edit: After watching this my looping movements got instantly better.
This was The missing bit of info ive needed. I mastered BF4 Jets to the point id get like 60 kills and less than 10 deaths per match back in the day., 2042 jets are a bit different. anyways. just did like 32 kills and 0 deaths with the Draugr keeping the tips from this video in mind. thanks man.
Great video! I would suggest using the 3rd person camera to zoom in since it has way more zoom than the cockpit one. It's a bit tricky at first but it's a gamechanger once you get used to it.
Yeah I use it a lot, they changed the placement of it in one of the past updates so it's not good with close quarters, I find it very good when the other jet is far away
When you’re behind an enemy jet and you’re trying to shoot it down, do you use your mouse to aim or your wasd keys? I really struggle knowing when to use what when i’m trying to shoot vehicles/infantry. So i often make over-adjustments and it really screws up my aim, meanwhile in this video you have smooth aim and hit every bullet
I have pitch up mapped to space on the keyboard and also on mouse movement up, I use the space bar on keyboard during dogfight in order to loop, and then I use the mouse for finer adjustments, you can see it on this old video here : ruclips.net/video/psEa4Lad9-E/видео.html
Hi! I'm new to the game. lately I have been facing a issue with key binds and such with the jet. In this game, at least for me, it feels terrible using the mouse to pitch the jet, and using arrow keys seems to me not accurate at all. So I would love to know how the hell to you turn your jet? bc on your kbm cam your mouse is not moving at all, do you use "WASD" and like aim with you mouse, please lmk! Thanks
Good video, though I’m interested in the opposite of this scenario, how do I keep myself from losing jets I’m pursuing. This has been the number one problem for me in dogfights.
I think the below videos may help you, if you havent watched them already. Also you can add me to discord and we can dogfight on a private server and I can give you some feedback. ruclips.net/video/oEc0HP8hIyY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/UDc0rj9KGcU/видео.html
I went into dogfight at Spearhead and passed to the VTOL mode when I engaged the production facilities. Su-57, which could not maneuver, crashed into the facility, I wish I had recorded it😅
I play on PS5, so I’m not sure how affective these tips are for me. Anyways, I’m a pretty good pilot in BF games, I already T1 both jets in 2042, BUT there’s always those players that seem to turn way sharper me and 90% of my deaths in jets are because of that. Can you make a video on how to do sharp turns, because I cannot figure it out. 😂
@@AntiSocialElf Thank you! Your videos are awesome and VERY helpful. My biggest problem right now is dealing with nightbirds and wildcats. I just cant find a good way to counter them. Sometimes it feels like the nightbird has higher speed than the jet lol.

They still catch up to me no matter what, practicing against the AI is easy mode but real players always seem to out-maneuver me even when I catch them by surprise. Wondering if there's a way to properly practice without getting shredded immediately
I’m saving this video so I can go back and reference it again and I’m going to go practice the moves and afterburner management like you said in solo matches so I can get a better understanding of what I need to do. One question, are you using a controller, joystick, or keyboard? I only have a keyboard but I’m gonna practice with that and hopefully get better at dogfights or at least not just be target practice for some of those guys that have mastered the art.
Have u ever played bf4? Asking because jet mechanics are the same in bf3 and bf4 and I'm curious if this could work there. We have afterburner too in stealth jets
@@AntiSocialElf I see :) we use the afterburners there to increase speed or to compensate the gravity when going upward in a dogfight, to try maintain perfect turn speed. I was curious if this could work. Thx for amswering ^^ take care!
Man i want so bad to pilot like this, but i just cant understant it, i mean ok i can control it, nit like this but still, but i cant make no kills, maybe some heli or pane who just had the bad luck to get in front of my missile but thats it
it will take practice and time, this is me when I started - laughable performance :D : ruclips.net/video/rltyH0tFhn8/видео.html and this video shows you how to train: ruclips.net/video/zwZYlcygwWg/видео.html
this is why i don't play big vehicle maps on consoles.. you will never be this precise flying a jet using a gamepad.. some ppl are pretty good at flying choppers, but planes? forget about it.
I think you have to play a lot vs bots first, when I started I couldnt even kill the AI jet. I know this sounds like a boring advice, but search air superiority in portal and play vs AI, it will help you, I promise. if you want to train with me I can give you direct advice, just add me on discord: sevenvi
@@AntiSocialElf Yeah, well, I have given up flying since BF4 but always wanted to ACE it. I will get some training in the botfield and report back. It would be so cool to actually learn how to fly that damn jet! thanks ^^

But I’m terrible at dogfights and radar rockets are the best I like getting right there where they can’t use flares to escape but then I have to loop around fast and yeah after burner control was just something I learned over time is it possible to do any maneuvers? Like something ridiculous top gun style
Now that we have Air Superiority we can Focus on trying to kill Infantry and die with the try because a Liss Player gets you out of the air imidiatly and you are a 1 Hit kill
@@AntiSocialElf yeah I think its outragous A bullet fired from a fighter jet in real life Kills a Human no matter how it Hits him INSTANTLY but no In bf2042 not because casuals dont like reality
@@AntiSocialElf The F35 now has a slightly faster turning speed. Therefore, all other things being equal, the F35 outperforms the SU57. Russian aircraft now require greater mastery of afterburner and aim control. So if your last opponent was an F35, you probably wouldn’t have been able to cope.

Thanks man for teaching the AB management. Really helped me alot in dogfighting. I always drain the other jet’s AB and then its an easy kill.

No worries, let me know if you have any other questions 👍
Masterpiece Tutorial!
It was good explanation. but i dont get how you can make loopings so fast. is there any other function then wasd, mouse, and shift for afterburner?
@@felixpayer6867 Yaw right and left, I usually Yaw towards the ground if I want a faster loop. If am turning right, I Yaw right
@@AntiSocialElf thank you
Thanx for your guides, but question is: how to cut angle when you stuck in nose-to-nose df? How to seat at enemy’s tail from this position
I can make a video about that
Sounds good, will wait 👍🏻👍🏻
So it's just about finding the fast angle and braking?
You can start with that, do that enough in fights and if your opponents are good they will counter, and then you will learn to counter them back

Does everyone use mouse and keyboard on jets? I use my joystick on a transport chopper but struggle with the jets.

Excelente! no se ingles pero eres un maestro con ese jet!
This is art
what is the best way to deal with wild cats? im learning to fly on console and im doing fine at everything except fighting wild cats
Never attack from the front, attack from the back of the side and pick a moment when the wildcat is busy with other targets. use Hydra rockets
@@AntiSocialElf alright thanks!
Hello mate, good explanation, thank you for a vid!
So to simplify, vertical loop with good afterburner managment?
In most cases yes
@@AntiSocialElf What could be the exceptions? (Sorry if you said this in the video)
No worries, look at the 2nd and the bonus dogfights (especially the bonus one) you will find a mix of horizontal and vertical loops
