BF2S Forums How to fly: Some tips

Nice dude.

You are pretty much a clone of me, or vise versa

for as long as I can remember I've always been 2.0 behind you in K/d ratio, bastard its no different now, you have ~14.06 and I have 12.78 I'm gaining on you ^^, nah just kidding.

I was thinking of doing a guide at some point, cause I thourght people needed a desent guide. one thing is for sure, I wouldnt have been patient enough to type as much as you. I guess the readers were lucky you did it first

... oh yea, I blame you whenever I get shot down from now on

Hate to break it to you, but I stopped flying almost 3 months ago now I have moved on to playing Sharqi, and you can see my infantry stats actually mean something now lol.

So you will continue to gain on me forever more, as I only flew again to make those videos and write the guide, then back to Sharqi If my internet is online tonight I will be playing in BF2s sat. tonight though so I usually fly there being unranked and all.

"The J10 will rearm one bomb and 5 missiles in one runway pass, unless you go really slow which is BAD.
The F35B and Mig29 will fully reload, as will the bombers, F18 etc."

This actually depends on the airfield, not the jet. The F35 will still only realod 1 bomb on Chinese Airfield on Dilian while the J10 will get two by using the carrier.

The carrier is obviously longer, but the J10 can reload fully on every runway, you just have to keep your hands off the afterburners. Even a tinge of afterburners will screw it up, even 20 seconds before you hit the runway. You have to go in slow and make sure your over the runway at the initial pavement, not flying in halfway. Torin mentioned the same thing in his post and I refer you to my answer there.

My point is this: you can reload fully on all runways with the J10, but you'd have to gimp your velocity to do so which is not worth it. The J10 holds its airspeed extremely well, whether it be airspeed from changing height or from using burners, 99% of the time the J10 is simply going too fast on a small runway to reload fully. However, that said, it can reload if you go in slowly (100% throttle mind you - you don't need to cut it). Try it if you don't believe me, it can be done but it is stupid!

The F35 has an amazing ability to loose all of its airspeed beyond its baseline within 5 seconds, and its runways are longer; admittedly the Essex is big. The J10 preserves its airspeed really well, especially when it has 5seconds longer of burners to tweak the airspeed continually. Hence when it goes in to a runway its clicking in aroud 1000-1300 (@20ft!) which is impressive, whereas the F35 is petering along at 850-950 with burn.

I actually did some testing, and Xennores stats are right, but they are missing 50ft 100ft and 150ft altitudes which is where the Mig and the J10 shine in airspeed, of course they shine in maneuverability everywhere compared to the F35. The F35 is faster at 300ft 400ft etc. but its turn radius still sucks horribly, and the J10 always wins. The game designers should fix the F35s turn radius at higher heights so that it can actually beat the other jets in the higher altitudes where it is faster, but the F35 could then loose in the lower altitudes like it currently does to balance the game.

i was thinking of making a series of pictures of repair points
as most of you know, flying over the airway doesn't always mean it will fix your jet up

quite annoying actually.. at first i thought it was around heli pads but that wasn't it

like in wake, the chinese repair point for jet is about the middle of the runway(test it with your jet on the ground)
but because you fly so fast, it doesn't repair you even 1 points usually..

meh anyone want to test on this? lol i'm busy with my SAT 3 weeks later

Seems to me that you have to be low enough to the runway for a certain amount of time to get a repair chunk. If you fly too high, or only pass the repair spot, but for too short a time you get nothing. If you come in low you always get something. Seems to be time over the runway related to me.

What I know from Dragon Valley with the J10 is that you need to fly very low over the "runway-house" (the best is the front side). How slower you go over it how more it repairs.

Hey, good job for the time passed I am pretty experton aviation ( except my brother plays) butit looks good

Great Video and tutorial, I learned a lot (still can't fly though). 
I noticed when you were changing from chase rear to cockpit, you managed to skip the internal view and go straight to external. I am using keytojoy and although the key binding looks obvious, it doesn't work.
Can you tell me how to configure it 

good read - + 1 karma

Some good stuff there m8 but i already got air skills down , good work

Wow that is very nice you put a lot of work and effort into that well done seriously.
It helped a lot now at least i dont crash into the ground all the time
