Stay alive in multiplayer

[SCG_Syn]

I'd consider myself a pretty experienced pilot, and if I had some information to give then its... Don't carry over anything you learned in SP to MP. People move differently, think differently, and shoot differently. 

 

Learn your plane, learn the enemies plane, that means your strengths and weakness, and the enemies. (That means when you get in combat, ID the plane your against and remember what it can and can't do, EX. Its a yak and your in a 109, tell yourself mentally, I can dive, I can climb, but I can't necessarily turn fight, or its a LA5, I can Dogfight equally (meaning who ever is the better pilot will win) I can dive slightly better, I can climb equally above 3k, I go slightly faster above 4k) I know its alot but its what a fighter pilot learns to do to survive.

 

Self discipline, being able to stop yourself from engaging into a turn-fight every fight and continuing to keep situational awareness will keep your alive!

 

Being analytical, when you die or get shot down, figure out why!!! It's not the game most of the time, its you! Remember, their are just as many merits to a Russian aircraft as their are German, alot of people think one style is outright better then the other but its far more complex. A German pilot may be able in most plane sets (as in most of their planes can) run away or engage whilst the Russians are a bit slower, a good Russian pilot can prevent 5 109s from ever getting a shot on him by playing smart.

 

OH! and also. I can't tell you how many times it's saved my ass but, learning your engine on the 109s is extremely important for your first few hundred hours (no I'm not kidding), learning to use between 82% and 92% can give you alot more horsepower with more time then just full 100%. That means in an F4 you can actually outrun a 1b on the deck, where as in a G2 you would actually be screwed. Learning your Engine is like learning how to breathe properly, become one with your plane (I know how cheesy that sounds) but when you know your plane you will only then master it.

 

Also managing Stabilizer trim is the difference between pulling out of a dive or dying. It also makes it easier to pull onto enemies.

 

(EDIT) 

I feel like everytime submit new stuff to this post I remember more!

Yeah , I know  ...... And one thing in the game I like is to still be better 

I already have so many hours in Ill2 that the war is come to and end and we're now in 1946 .....and I still have a lot to learn ..

 

And it's true all you said , about learn the mashine and what it can do ...allso the diff bf109 .... And I'm do my best ...... I still have problem to keep my energi , specially when a Russian come in dogfight and know his mashine better ......

( I will look after the button who make all the Russian in MP to beginner ...... At least a 14 days when I'm rehursing ? ) 

 

I'm quite good in SP , where I'm on paper as ace in career and Toplist in PWCG , 

but I really like how IT is going in MP where I never know where I meet a plane , and the most important is to RTB ( and sometimes I go Berloga , rehursing ) 

 

Later I'll try to find a group ( squadron ? ) , But in beginning I'll go in , maybe find another beginner in MP  .... Or be a uninvited tail  of other plane ( have been ) and slowly learn in Mp  ...... Figure it out , not be to brave - run away sometimes - course most important is RTB

Apropos noting the mistake, I find it difficult to see my mistakes sometimes.

Any thoughts on that? How do you find your mistakes?

I can suggest TacView it helps a great lot to see what went south. And works with other sims as well
