OK I'm pretty new at this. Lvl7 halfway too 8. I am so addicted to this game. But my hats off to anyone who's moving up in rank with these terrible excuses for planes. The higher level plane is just way too good in my opinion. Especially on this open map with no where to run. I know I'm not the best but I'm decent at the least and it seems so unfair that the only shot I get on the high level planes is the initial pass we make after that he out maneuvers me and that's that. Give us a break here. Better planes, canyons toduck off in or wizards for pilots that make forcefields. LOL OK I'm done.

Haha, dont worry. The planes are adaquate once u get used to them. If your refering to the one winged plane, then yeah, lots of players hate it. Just look at it as a challenge. The game is designed to be a BIG challenge, not easy at all! :) :) if you need any tips, send me a message on here, or any other aces. :) good luck, and see you in the skies!

Being used to them doesn't seem like the issue now. I thought that when I started but now I've put time in and I get a few but now I try to avoid higher levels because if I don't get them in the first go around I'm dead. Props to them for being good I'm not taking that away but Dang. And yes that one wing plane is like flying a trash can with cardboard wings Haha.

Thanks for the tips. I knew that but I know part of my problem is the controls, i use the joystick and everyone says the tilt is better but i cant do it. Wish they made controllers lol.

Oh yeah, use the motion control. It takes TONS of practice, but its WAYYYY easier! Try it until you get to rank 10, and if it hasnt improved, go to joystick. I dont know of a single ace that uses joystick tho, so u might want to think about that! :) :)

The one wing set plane, you get behind it, its slow but hard to hit, which means, you'll have trouble going head on, but can take it down from behind easily.

I've used the Fokker E.III for so long, I know how to handle it. I can't survive dancing in the sky for too long, though.
Because of it, my death percentage has gone down. I mostly do frontal attacks, and, with that plane.....BOOM!! All I see are parachutes. ;)

I tried using the joystick mechanism, but it did not work. I died a lot, they were mostly crashes though. :P See yu in the skies,

Agreed. The joystick blows, hahahah.

I once was playing Dogfight in a public place -- but didn't want to look like an idiot waving my iTouch around like a maniac hahahah. So I set the joystick controls on. Unfortunately I could barely line up any targets.

Look at this way even the aces had to wait to get those planes. So u have to as well. And u can always buy coins-I prefer earning them, fair for everyone. And ur improving fast u will have one in no time.

@Morgan is active, he's really good, and so is rufus, but he's.not quite as skilled. Ernst is VERY rarely on, but he plays once in a while. Gyshan quit long before I joined, by my understanding. I've heard that he was.seen recently, but I think it was an imposter.

Bomer, I completely agree. The aces had to deal with thsame probpems you have, but they made it. I'm a II Brigadier General, and I still have A LOT of stuff to get! :P I need the top german plane, all the upgrades for it, the ammo upgrade for the second best german plane, the 15000 nuiport and its speed upgrade, and all the upgrades for the SEA5. What you have iz enough, we all dealt with it. :) :)

Oo do not use the joystick. The joystick makes you turn so slow you can't do crap.

I just can't get the motion control down. I have really big hands and it isn't comfortable at all. I spent a lot of time today figuring out where to aim to get distance shots down, and it helped a lot.

Hey getatthisdude, I see you're getting better all the time. At some point in you're development you will developed a 6th sense. You will feel where someone is going in a turning fight and will be able to shoot em down in a lesser plane than theirs. Pay close attention to the little orange arrows on the edge of the screen.

I'm gonna stick with the joystick for now. I'm getting a competitive k/d ratio for the moment. Especially after playing with a lot of you better players lastnight.

You're better every time I fly with you GTD! I earned my stripes and stars by just always going after the best fliers and never quitting games though I got slaughtered night after night. You have to evade like crazy against higher ranks but crazy maneuvers can make u better. I'll try to offer tips and fly your wing next time I see you. Stick it out, you're at the painful stage...
