So I’ve seen a lot of new players having issues lately. I’m starting this thread for them to ask questions and for the community to provide answers, and will help players in the future.
P.S. - If you already play dogfight elite and haven’t registered on the forum, I strongly advise you to register.
Lets go over some frequently asked questions.
General questions
1. Why does my aim suck?
Ans. We all started there, and got better as time went. To improve, play the practice missions. You also need to take other factors into consideration.
2. What’s the objective of the game?
Ans. There’s really not an objective, it’s more of a fly for fun thing. If you’re really want a goal, that’s becoming the #1 player on the leaderboard
3. Why do people shoot from the back?
Ans. That’s dogfight in a sentence. It’s not against the rules whatsoever.
now what if my plane is bad?? Well, everybody started with dirt cheap planes that fly like bricks. Eventually, you’ll get to the big guns.
4. Should I get premium?
Ans. Premium provides more planes, cheaper costs and other benefits. No, you don’t need premium to play, but it’s really up to you.
Now, I’ll go over some specific questions
Aiming related questions
1.Why do my shots keep missing?
Ans. Like the first question, you can improve aim. There are lots of other factors like target lead, bullet drop etc. Instead of pointing directly at the enemy with the crosshair, aim slightly ahead of them and slightly higher so the bullets curve down and into the enemy. Also, if you have difficulties controlling the aircraft, here’s what you can do :-
I recommend using tilt controls on mobile and adjust the sensitivity to your convenience. Low sensitivity = precise movement, High sensitivity = fast movement
If you are on a P.C. , don’t use the keyboard as you can’t make precise moves with it. If you have a console controller or joystick, use that.
Don’t have those? Then instead of holding down the key for long, give it a short hit. And change the keybindings ( controls ) to your liking.

This is work in progress, I will be adding more later( like point harvesting, more aiming related questions, tips and tricks etc.), that’s it for now.
