It's not the game. It's u. U have lots of lag probably.
And when u shoot a plane if they click retry they spawn at their allied carrier or base.
They arent issues. Maybe the plane clicks retry and then another enemy plane gets u.
It's either that or u have lots of lag and ur phone is slow.

Check your connection. I am assuming your using wifi. Plus your at an awkward stage in game. As far as points it took me a while to finally get that they are for ranking up not keeping score. Play the game and have fun. As soon as you start flying smarter you will have the points for the fastest planes. Don't get into fur balls with top players, attack with team try flying higher or around you usually have a better angle when you attack.
Connection speeds vary and those with the good connections win out in that respect. Sometimes I can fly as fast as the best and other times I'm the log. I adjust tactics accordingly and have fun both ways. Remember it's just a game. I used to get just as agrivated as you and took it out on the game. I was wrong. This is for fun please remember that. The best player is different on any given day.

just chill, and dont worry about points. as for the other stuff, its lag. it happens to me too. if theres no planes that u see, they could be out of ur field of veiw, you could have been killed by a parachuter, a walking soldier, or a tank.
See you in the skies!

That's cute! Although it isn't easy to hit the tiny spot that would be the other player at that distance.

FWIW I have had similar issues with what happens during the flight - instantaneous hits and going down with no external indications of tracers or sound.
- shooting endlessly at a rather stationary plane with no hits.
- Other times seeing my tracers hit in a closely fought fight and incendiary effects on the plane to then see someone else listed as the shooter.
- Getting credit for a kill that I did not see (gad, I love to see those infrequent kills :))

That said I have redone my home wireless to run at 20+ meg up and down (this eliminated almost all of my 'lost connections' - some improvement elsewhere. I can now keep image of plane in my view longer, only way that I can shoot one down - no luck at all when only a name and rank showing. I would love to know where the snipers aim at!

I witness again and again when 'xyz' is brought down by '123' is posted on screen only to see 'xyz' still flying for several seconds, like 4 or more.

I have finally recognized when someone is flying off to nowhere that it is not a real target. Have followed and shot at ghost planes to my 'grave' as I am a sitting target doing it and I sometimes fly into the ground even though all visual indications are to the contrary.

I am suspicious of my Android too that it is not showing all quickly enough - while it is a 1.5 MHz CPU I have even seen it jump on the screen while flying in practice mode. (I have a HTC 7" View 4G, 32GB)

Sorry for the long post -

I too love the game!

If you still have the bomb on the plane it flies like a slug - I have not quantified it, but some planes seem worse than others.

I try to keep the bomb in all games where it is needed - I do get my a*s shot down a lot usually about 100 ft from either the hanger or carrier though. :dry:

If I have the bomb I am almost defenseless both straight on and in turns - feel like slow motion! Slug is a good term.

I like to keep my bomb, just cuz it makes it easier to aim. iQ, if someone gets shot down and keeps flying, its lag on ur end. If u get two bullets in them and it doesnt register the kill, its on their end. Thats annoying cuz they then proceed to shoot you down. Btw, on sniping, just hold ur device steady, and aim 1/4 cm below the middle of their name.

Great advice! Not obvious, but aim is everything once you can start avoiding a little bit better - I did wonder why some of the higher rank 'targets' were actually slow - I'm hitting the targets more often now, but cannot seem to make the final kill.

Thanks for the lag mention, sometimes I know what is happening is not what is happening - if that makes sense.

I do find I can only hit planes if they are really in view (small outline of plane, or a 'smudge')

I really like Dogfight as it is a free for all! Getting closer to actually being a threat instead of just a target!

Thanks for the help! Appreciated...

haha, ur defiantly a threat to most players! not to the aces, but very few players are. ur getting there, and you'll be one of our better pilots. dont worry about not being a huge threat, if people think u arent any good, u get free target practice while theyre shooting higher ranking players!
