The red box isn't the "hit" area, you still have to hit the plane like in df1. The red box was added to make it easier to spot the plane at a distance, due to many players having eye strain problems on elite.

The biggest challenge to overcome when switching to elite, is the bullet physics. Here is a thread that may help www.dogfightplay.com/index.php/forum/2-g...nding-range-in-elite

In new game, you shoot into box. I shoot 40+ times, in box, and nothing happens. Box disappears and plane flies right at you,
You can't dodge, too close, and you are killed.

Not logical.

Anyone explain what I am missing. I am the oldest player in dogfight, but what am I missing.

Suggestions....

There is a slight bullet drop to some what try to simulate a bullets true ballistic trajectory. This was implemented because pilots where getting shot from distances that are not realistic. And also to try and bring the fight to a more closer range. I am sure there are other points as well and other pilots will post there thoughts as well. Back to the bullet drop. You should do a practice level and just practice shooting to see how much the bullet drops over different distances. Lose the box, it hides your bullet drop so you cant adjust. Aim above plane let bullets drop into it. Spray and pray, Lag really will mess with you. To be honest I cant say there is any consistency to the game and how it performs. Some players have got the correct playing platform, Internet Wifi set properly. These players have a fantastic game experience. As the game plays very exiting when it is firing on all cylinders. But for a lot of players using windows, the game seems to have conflicts and game freezes up constantly. You will just have to practice and get used to the bullet drop. Oh ya good luck

Well put wumper, cypher the planes pass through the drop. Which is accurate to gravity. No more laser shooting. Dont get frustrimated
The arc and trajectory decreases

Hey Wumper,

Check out this thread:


Bullet drop and aiming. Finding range in elite
