If your flying lower than one of your nearby friends, an enemy coming towards you will go for your friend, and your in good position to shoot the enemy, for some reason ever pilot make the mistake of taking two planes at once, its not bad to do, they go about it the wrong way, this is the right way.
You dodge incoming fire and get behind them and shoot one down then go after the next guy, easy.
So easy in fact, that those of you who dont do this, have now just been made to look bird brained.
The rule is to put them on the defensive, so do so with your defensive.
So
If you have any useful tips that may make every one a better pilot, dont withhold it, never, because if it will save my tail feathers in a fight, then maybe what I know will save yours

If u have somebody on your tail its better to fly near the ground because u can dodge trees and make them make a mistake.

Well. Flying low works in real sims like warthunder ans an evasive tactic. But here flying low is the same as flying high. U gain no energy or lose any when doing this stuff. One reason I rarely fly is because this game is nothing more than head on shooting and pilots who are better only because they have deeper wallets.

There's actually a bit of good in flying low... Provided you make use of the hills and valleys as cover for your approach in a head on attack... But... The enemy can do this as well and once engaged in combat, you're practically out of room to maneuver...

Dear ,

i think low fly is good for increase your speed when you are caring a bomb,
also it hide you near ground as much as or its help to see the enemy plane on sky background.
Better you shoot them before they do and to hit you its difficult to them.

Draback is All MORAF's are expert in this tactics and they hit you easily...Lol
and there is no chance for plane maneuver.
Chance to crash with ground by loosing control.

Thank god , how much i have wrote.

the main advantage of flying low is that you can be harder to see. i find if I fly low and I have clear sky i can see the plane better (or I wait til they open fire and I shoot where the tracer is coming from)

It a dogfight height can be traded for speed which is very valuable

I'd say to fly as high as you can,the higher the better,and don't take a direct route to the target,basically once you take off just climb as much as you can,I got to 1000 meters and everyone was too low to see me,until it was too late

i always found 1,500 is where those people who are having dogfights in the air can't see you.... 2,000 is always safe...unless somebody else is flying high....thats when one flies right side up and the other upsidedown.....pass by with one on top and high five each other...... then drop cause its on now......(dogfights at high altitudes are soo fun....)
Silencing.....Silencing.....Silencing.....now only if i could mute people.....

Low flying is actually a terrible idea for this game because your giving up mobility and speed if you try to regain alt now if you dive to gain speed and avoid incoming fire just so you can gain space I say go for it there's been plenty of times when a well timed dive saved my as

Flying low can be a bad idea , if you are hit and bail you do not have time to shoot from the 'chute.
May the ancestors look down upon your achievements and smile.

Couple of things
re: pair flying
The attacker will generally take out the lower flying leader and it will be easier for the fighter flying wingman to engage and destroy him source:

Re: trees
Kestrel and I were playing war thunder and were weaving bf-109s in and out of trees and I was within inches of a tree taking my wing out at one point so this one is valid (Pic related)

Here's a big tip for yall.Get to know the bridge better. Yes the one bridge across town. It works but you gotta know the bridge. K ow every hole about the bridge how Lon it takes to get through a hole.y do I say all this. Well when your in a dogfight game there will most likely be a enemy near you or trying to spawn kill you. So if you spawn on the ship next to the bridge you can lose them. They will try and follow but when they see that deathtrap they leave for a moment. Then you do ur thing to kill them. By if they are as persistent as dr.bomb@y then the will moost likely crash. Yea bomb@y learned that the hard way. Said I'm quite slippery.but hey I don't know.

flying low is good. I rarely go above 100 feet. gives you better view of reds against the sky and it also gives you a chance to land in your chute for 50 points and then use your Tank. I've gotten many wins with my tank. In this game flying high has no advantage, your max speed is your max speed.It almost feels the planes are less maneuverable up high but I'm sure its just an illusion

Mann I second that. Been seeing some players go all the way up the stay still like I can't see them. Boy they learn slow. If I had a dollar for everytime one person repeated that same mistake the whole game. There would have been free servers on here again.

Hola!!volando bajo,ves mejor a los rojos,puedes sobrevivir y hacerte tanque.tambien aprovechar el relieve del terreno,para ocultarte.pero si me veis por.encima vuestro temblad...y si es vuelo bajo y de frente...temezme.no lo olvideis.esquivadme sino os caere seguro.lo bueno es dominar muchas alturas.1000 pies,1500,2000,100.cada altura es diferente y tú la puesdes aprovechar para convertir esa altura en mortal utilizala según tus habidades cada una como mejor partido le saques y ganaras muchas batallas.eso pienso yo.
