I remember the Split-S trap literally saved/extended my life. I was in my Spitfire Mk. IIa and had just run out of ammo and this P-51 was chasing me and I pulled the trap textbook like and could have turnfighted him but no ammo
Oh what a coincidence haha. I like to use head-on's to spook the enemy. The YAKs are really good at getting behind someone when you roll downwards and keep up speed, even gain speed. They pull some serious Gs.
oh ya but see you have a plan after the head on a lot of new people want to the head on to be it. Then they have no plan how to make sure they are still alive and what to do after if they are. 😉🏴☠️
Thank you for the video! Everybody has their theories on this, and there are some absolutes. I think you've done a nice job balancing this. Keep it up!
@@GamingWithJollyRoger i need to figure out how to properly use a russian boom n zoom plane i still havent quite figured it out, but this video helped a lot with it
Cool, Russians are kind of jack of all trades, against some planes they out turn them and against other you boom and zoom or do energy traps. But if you want to check out some energy fighter tactics, take look at those videos: Getting on to Turn Fighter Control zone, and the P38 Boom and Zoom. Not Russian but same concepts. Hope this helps 😉🏴☠️
@@GamingWithJollyRoger Moje ulubione to F4U na 5.7. Zaczęłam też K4, a teraz próbuję czegoś z Japonii. Bf 109 K-4 ma ten problem, że to dość wymagający samolot, a na obecną chwilę te Spitfire'y są niemiłosiernie mocne.
Ach tak, F4U to dobry samolot. W przypadku K4 kontra Spitfire, spróbuj mieć przewagę wysokości, ich energia wyczerpuje się powyżej 5500 m, więc jeśli wzniesiesz się wyżej i zabierzesz ich do walki w pionie, zazwyczaj mają duży problem. Poza tym 109 jest szybszy od Spitfire. 😉🏴☠️
@@GamingWithJollyRoger No nie powiedziałabym, po tym jak Spitfire'y dostały buffa. Wyciągnęłam jednego ancymona na ponad 6000, ustawiłam lot poziomy, żeby odskoczyć, i jakie było moje zdziwienie, gdy szedł za mną jak zły. Dopiero po dłuższym czasie minimalnie się oddalałam, ale jeśli tak ma to wyglądać, to słabo. Tak, wiem, żeby utrzymywać energię i latać wysoko. Z tym nie mam już problemu, bo całkowicie przestawiłam się na inny styl walki. Co nie zmienia faktu, że na obecną chwilę K-4 ma problem ze Spitfire’ami, a tym bardziej jeśli leci nim ktoś ogarnięty.
The problem with war thunder is even knowing this, it wont help all the time.if you get ganked by 3 or more people who know what they're doing youre dead without a chance, if you have someone who can out turn you and has enough ammo to simply hold down the shoot button you lose without a chance, the list goes on. This kind of knowledge does help in ground rb for air superiority but in air rb you become a free kill trying to use maneuvers desinged for conventional fights irl, rather than a game where people dont care about energy, air speed, or ammo count you will lose to someone simply using a meta plane and get shit talked in game chat or off to the next match.
sure all that happens, but you can help yourself, if you don't want to get jumped by 3 people, side climb first and wait till they start dropping low, that it self helps me a lot not to fly into a red cloud, also once you one of the highest guys in the match, you can pick your targets easier. This is not perfect but it makes a huge difference. Good luck and have fun
@@GamingWithJollyRoger side climb and someone with better climb rate because br compression will be on you anyway, the game is extremely flawed, especially at prop brs. My point stands that the gameplay doesn't really allow for use of realistic tactics, only stressing whatever aircraft your using the the max to get at least 1 kill before you get swarmed. I could record 5 games in a row trying to side climb, taking off late, staying with the team, trying to sneak around the enemy, etc, either way it usually ends up you getting ganked. I can usually deal with 2-3 people at a time depending on what plane I'm using but it's just pointless to try and use tactics.
I understand your frustration but that is not my experience. I just try not the get in those situations that will get 5 people on me. hmmm. What country are you usually playing?
@@GamingWithJollyRoger all of them, I have almost 5000 hours in WT. Regardless of Br or what I do I usually end up getting ganked. I usually only ever play around 8.0 air, since its a be that requires skill For years I've wanted a guns only game mode for air(to not have too tier missile spamming). I really hate playing top tier, I hardly even play the game anymore, if anything I don't touch air and just play low be ground
Ya, ground is fun once in a while, I like that you can't see enemy tags, I wish they had that in AR Air too. Sorry you do not like the rest of the game, I really enjoy this game that is why I play it. Do I get sucky matches once in a while, sure. Here are mine 3 rules I go by when judging a situation once I climb. #1 STAY ALIVE - so if by the time I get to altitude and I look around and 90% of my team is dead and their team is fine, I will land and J out and hope to the next game, no point in losing a plane and paying a repair cost. #2 WIN - I will bait enemies, push them down, and set up kills for my teammates, even if I do not get any kills all game. #3 GET KILLS - This is literary the last thing on my list. Do I like getting kills, sure, but I prefer to stay alive and win much more than getting a few kills losing, and being shot down. This is my philosophy on the game and it makes me enjoy myself a lot. But if I did not enjoy this game, I would not play it that is that. So maybe just try a different philosophy of playing or just find yourself a game that you really like. I wish you Good Luck and have some fun
ya right, but sometimes it's not up to you you got to merge and they are coming straight at you. If you can slip on then not from the front, that is the way to do it
I think this is one of the most helpful videos yet. As a relatively new player, most of my deaths are losing head ons lol
Glad to hear it, trust me we all did it in the beginning 😉
I remember the Split-S trap literally saved/extended my life. I was in my Spitfire Mk. IIa and had just run out of ammo and this P-51 was chasing me and I pulled the trap textbook like and could have turnfighted him but no ammo
the spits have soooo little ammo. But hey if you are on his 6 he can't shoot you 😉🏴☠️
Very helpful video, well done!
Thanks a lot, I try 😉🏴☠️
Ima be real, I found your yt when you advertised in air RB, and completely forgot about you but hell yeah appreciate it
glad you like it, I only do it once or twice a day, I do not want to be annoying to the players 😉🏴☠️
Great advise!
Glad you liked it 👍

I wanted to just give people some basics, thanks for checking it out
do skidding ehadon. roll to the left, let your rudder pull you away and aim to the right to compensate for the plane drifting
I feel like this is more advanced technique, one day we will to more complex merges and heados, I'll definitely throw that in
@@GamingWithJollyRoger its a very simple but good technique to land your shots but confuse the enemy as to where to aim :)
really solid tips on this one
Glad it was helpful!
very helpful
Glad you think so! What are you researching these days?

Witaj, nieźle latasz! :) Ja dopiero się uczę i poznaję te wszystkie zwroty i manewry. Czasem coś wyjdzie, czasem nie.😉
Wiem jak to jest. A w jakim kraju najczęściej latasz?

Ok, przy 5,7 są Spitfire'y z silnikiem Griffon, które są szybkie i mogą latać wysoko.
this can solve the bane of low tier
and thanks for letting me get shot by your majesty
thanks buddy!
LOL any time, you were not holding back either 😉🏴☠️

rudder lock is the enemy
I don't think I ever seen rudder lock in RB, have you ?
@@GamingWithJollyRoger some planes suffer with it
ha interesting, I only get the flat spin issue with some Italians but only and super low speeds
@@GamingWithJollyRoger rudder lock is hell in the p51s
oh I'm going to have to try to recreate that, is it at high speed or low speed?
lol or just not head on and never get shot
ya right, but sometimes it's not up to you you got to merge and they are coming straight at you. If you can slip on then not from the front, that is the way to do it
