    Third instalment to the guide series, we will be looking at energy and how to use it.
    I won't be covering how to use energy in a dogfight or in a more manoeuvrable plane as that defeats the purpose of the video. Might cover in the next or the one after that.

      I noticed you were using "Armoured Targets" ammo belt for the soviet 20mm, is that what youd recommend for those against planes?
      Seems odd to me, but then again, since they nerfed the ammo belt composition of them Ive found those 20mms to be really unrealiable in dealing damage.

  • @ccramit
    @ccramit Před 2 lety +78

    As a noob, my biggest mistake was generalizing planes too much. It wasn't until I finally played enough to where I was familiar with most planes that I started to get better.
    Not all Fw 190's are the same, nor are all Spitfires. In general, Spitfires turn much better than a 190, and 190's are generally much faster. But at certain BR's this is not always true. Assuming because I was in a Fw 190, I could outrun any Spitfire and assuming because I was a Spitfire, I could out turn a 190 were the cause for many a death before I started memorizing stats of planes in more detail.
    Also, Gaijin stat cards don't mean shit. Just because your plane SHOULD be 20kph faster than the plane chasing you, it doesn't mean that it actually is. Not to mention, if your plane is spaded and the enemy isn't, or vice versa, plane stats don't really mean a thing.

      @billrobert3226 Před 7 měsíci +7

      insightful! the other day I saw a Japanese plane high altitude, I didn't recognize the planes name. I thought well I won't try to out turn it, but my plane has excellent engine power, I'll try for an energy trap. the trap lasted a few turns, and he was slowly gaining more energy than me! after dying and googling it, the wiki reads "unlike most Japanese planes, this is not a turn fighter, but must use its excellent thrust to weight ratio for energy fights. what a face palm😂😂

    This is probably the best form of instructional guide I have seen for Air. The graphical simplifications backed by real-world examples really made the points much more clear and evident to me. At least for me, this was better than just the typical "1 vs 12 ACE Carry kIlLeR Plane" videos that are more common for the game. Now if only I can break a lot of my bad habits that you pointed out for me. Much appreciated.

I think my and actually most peoples problem is that "we" play too kill-thirsty. We'd rather dogfight a plane we can't outurn just because of energy loss than play smart and maybe pass on a kill. Extremely helpful, keep it up!
