September 15, 200817 yr In the "BattleField 2" Section, there is somewhere some explanations of it, try to find it with the tools forums... Egidio.
September 15, 200817 yr When attacking ground, go as high as possible and throttle down, this will give You more time to aim - guns first, then as You lift the nose up, let the bombs go. The steeper the angle, the better of course - look at Stuka or Helldiver dive bombers for reference. But then, You have to level earlier. Air to air if targeted: get an obstacle between You and the enemy - if it's stinger, then it's easier - and then rapidly change directions and speeds; rolling helps alot. Releasing the chaff is luck really. If an enemy is in correct (or uncorrect from Your point of view) position, then even chaff will not help. Generally chaff at the last possible moment and then veer. Air to air if attacking: attacking the aircraft is always easier, since they travel at generally the same speed. If You can stick to their behind and wait for their chaff to disappear, then launch the missiles (2-4 for certainty) when traveling at the same direction as the target: if not, the missiles will miss. For choppers, it's more difficult. You have to travel slow, otherwise there won't be enough time to wait for their chaff to disperse. In the meantime feel free to pepper them with lead. If You mess the missile timing on the first pass, then they will regenerate their chaff by the time You turn around for another. Oh yes, if You see the enemy attack choppers doing their weird roll along the longitudinal axis, don't bother with the missile, it will miss nearly 100% of the time (at least i never hit one during this). All in all, practice. Get to the planes before the other basterds do... That's the key...
September 15, 200817 yr Roger that thanks guys, time to get my joystick some action, if only i could get the settings right. Every time i tried my plane was realy unstable to the point that i will crash just trying to fly level.
September 16, 200817 yr One thing, when you drop the bombs don't fly low. The splash damage of the 5 bombs will bring down your health to 4 to 5 bars.
