Many people from all possible age groups have been playing this game.

Many of them can't play it right so ive come up with this extermely detailed guide for them.
Ive written it assuming a person is playing it for first time.

1) Master your landing skills.

Its very helpfull.
No one tells to master the landing skill, but its very helpfull. Learn to land in any possible situation.

Many times we over shoot our landing an hence crash. The best thing to do is do a barrel roll turning your plane upside down and then pull up as hard as u can. It will ensure a perfect safe landing if u master it.
This can also help to get someone off your tail. Its hard to get shot doing it. More over you can also get on their tail using it.

2) bombing and shooting.
Develop your bombing and shooting . Best way to bomb is to fly low and drop it when a tank or a hanger is besides your mini map.

Never ever use a tank unless its for bombing a hanger.
After you reach level 8, never use it. Not even for bombing a hanger.

While shooting, try to get on an enemies tail. That way its easier to shoot him.
Never ever take an experienced player ( more than level 7) player head on. If u get in to such situation never pull up . Try to turn away from the enemy without any change in altitude. Never u turn in this situation . U turning will get him on your tail.

In a dogfight, try to fly as high as possible . This ensures that the enemy wont notice u and use the clouds for cover.( hiding in the cloud doesnot work if clouds are disabled by the enemy in his settings ).
When you spot an enemy, wait untill he is under you and then quickly drop down behind his tail. When you r on his tail, stabilize your self before shooting as he does not know you are on his tail. Try to shoot the pilot and not the wings as if you hit the pilot, it will only take 4-5 shots, compared to 6-7 if you hit the wings.

3) long shots.
Try to anticipate the path of the enemy. When you are sure, aim a bit ahead of them and shoot on right time and dont stop. This will easily hit the pilot.

4) Capture the carriers.
Never land on top of the carriers.
Land inside them . There are two openings try to master landing through both.
Landing inside the carrier will provide you with a great deal of cover and will ensure your protection.

5) bomb the hanger.

For beginners who want to gain experiance and points, pull up as soon as you take off and fly very high.
Pounce upon the enemy like an eagle and and bring them down.
Then use your momentum and reach the hangers as flying very low, almost touching the ground ( carefull donot crash ).
USE OF TANKS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IN THIS TYPE OF GAME AFTER GAINING SUFFICIENT XP WITH TANKS !!

6) DOGFIGHT !
Its the best of all.
If you want to gain points as soon as possible and level up quickly, then try to get an agreement from everyone to allow easily shooting them. Shoot everyone by turns . I doesnt matter who wins ( in the initial stage ). That way you will get good planes ,squadrons and stats.

7) finally we have : destroying tanks.

Its pretty simple.
Fly high. as soon as they are under you . Do the eagle thing and bring them down with guns.
You always have bombs if you get too close to the ground and want to pull up.

I you are out of ammo, just try and crash on to an enemy plane.
( it works !!). That way you can get a kill.
OR you can fly back to the base reload , and start the killing machine !!

But the crashing thing is far more EXCITING !!
AND A LOT TIME SAVING !



NEVER USE BAD LANGUAGE ON THE CHAT OR YOU WILL GET BANNED . Example : all the * words.

So master what i told you ( WHICH EVEN I HAVN'T ! )


AND BECOME UNSTOPABLE !!

THESE ARE THE SEVEN WONDERS OF DOGFIGHT !


POINTS TO REMEMBER :
* TO INCREASE YOUR SPEED , DROP THE BOMB..
It will increase your speed by 8-9% !!!

* SLOW DOWN FOR LONG SHOTS.
It will provide you with more time to anticipate the enemy's path and will also increase your accuracy by 20-25 % !!
* KEEP YOUR ASS MOVING.

Never stay in one place. AND never fly straight.
All the dudes out here will easily bring you down with their eyes closed !
Keep turning and twisting . it makes really hard to anticipate your path and and shoot you down.

GOOD LUCK !

SEEK AND SMOKE !!

Your advice is very subjective...

Don't use tanks? That's how i get a third of my kills.

Go high and avoid players? I always target these guys first, because they don't want to fight, so I fight them.

Kills in dogfight are 2 shot kills. Everywhere.

Always turn in a horizontal plane in a dogfight? That takes away 75% of your usable space.

i completely agree with you
but its a beginners guide.

And all of these points have worked perfectly for many of my friends.
Even i used to get a third of my kills using tanks but the probability of getting shot is a lot more than that of a plane , and believe me or ask anyone else , tanks are useless unless they are used against very low experienced people.
Ive clearly stated that they are only useless against experienced guyz.

As of the the turning thing, it is for head on situations if the opponent is over whelming. Yes it takes up 75% of space but its a lot easier to shoot up or down rather than sideways as you have to change the direction your self.
And again, its a beginners guide. They will learn more from experience.

No tanks!! ...I would highly recommend tanks, they are very useful against aircraft and hangars.

thanx for suggestion
but i feel beginners must stay away from tanks.
And start using them only after gaining sufficient experience.

I also recommend to use them to bomb hangers.

Use the clouds for cover? I turned clouds off in settings so...yeah good luck with that one i can see you lol

Turn the clouds off in settings. We can see you.

Crashing in to a tank doesn't kill it. Only a bomb or bullets does.

im not saying to crash into a tank, im saying crash on to a plane.

I do it all the time and always get a kill !

And about the clouds,

POINT NOTED !

You said after lvl 8 not to use tanks at all. On the high rank server you will find yourself in your tank a lot more than normal. Well thats if they let you in your tank

true that !!

When i first entered a high rank server

i was brought down 25 times !!

U've got to understand.

I was going against hammer tool and living dead !!

And a lot of other guyz.

Still managed to get 5 kills !

Its a lot easier now after getting some new planes and a lot of XP

AB....you failed to mention taking the train....keeping it a secret from the new folks?

ive no idea what you want to say

taking the train ?

I'm hearing it for the first time. !!!

must be something in the updated version !
I've not updated mine yet.

Taking the train!!!!! Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!:-D:-D

No..it's been here for a long time.

Search DogFight Underground. Maps and methods of entry are there for all.
Most never make the effort.....

ahhhhh
the underground passages !
Yeah i know it.

Had no idea ots called taking the train !

LoL I saw that thread great story telling flymagic LoL I still need to find it again the last time I saw it u had just gone into it with it tank hahahhahhahahahahahahqhhahahahahahahah LoL lolololololol

I was just reporting the facts.....You can laugh all you want.
I'm just glad I had on my HOT-PINK DUCT-TAPE DEPENDS on. It's scary down there!

haha
lolz

This is great info athu!! If it worked for you it might work for someone else as well, but yeah like some of our peers said encourage to use tanks, better yet, you master the tank and then write wat worked for you.

Best read of the day!!

If only I had a printer so I could refer to this in game!

thanx guyz.

Any suggestions for improving it ?

Don't forget drop bomb to go faster and slow down for long shots.

Never take an experienced player head-on?
That's your only chance of getting them, as you'll never get on their 6.

I applaud your efforts, and even "thank you'd" for your guide--but it's way off.
Even the landings.
Don't even think of landing with someone on your tail.

im not saying to land when some one is on your 6.
I told that maneuver you could do if u over shot the runway.

They can use that maneuver to gt someone off their 6.

I see--the barrel roll was just lumped in there with the landing. Got it.
Still applaud your effort here--just needs a little tinkering, bud.

For beginners, three little words. Bank And Yank. New folks tend to fly straight as a target drone.

THIS--is the best advice. I always see them flying straight past. I always try to tell them to roll.
After they fly past, they still fly straight...then can't figure out why they got hit--no EVASION at all.

gotcha
im adding it to the guide.
Thanx !

Good advice, but in my case at least, it only delays the inevitable by a second or three.
