I was doing some dogfighting earlier, flying against the likes of the Hellkeska and @KHH 's drone. It turned out to be pretty fun and I got some gun kills. It was even better when I let the AI fly against similarly handling planes. So I was wondering, does anybody have any cool stories or pictures they want to share? I'd love to see some.
I was flying this and was flying against a simple fighter jet with a minigun when I did a split-s and pulled out, it overshot and as he went past its vert. stab. brushed the water, it did a flip, and i simply fired into the water and killed it.... XD sounds simple but looked awesome. And sometimes random events will happen while I'm testing out capabilities against other planes, once being I flew one of my interceptors and activated the parachute and crashed into the plane chasing me. I just started laughing and tried again, this time it overshot and tried to spiral down but didn't pull out in time and wrecked into the hangar
Nah, this is welcome too, but that's pretty brutal @SalmonSmeller
I was testing my Incher-K5 once, AI StarLuna tried to ram me and missed, fired some shots at it, nothing happened. Then when I was turning towards It and got on Its tail It exploded and the shrapnel killed me #Lag
Search up Rambo1050 on YouTube I've got some on there.
@Allstar lol only if there is damage model
Looks like something straight out of war thunder. After you got the kill, did you assess the damage. I'm surprised that you didn't "sustain critical damage" @JetstreamAeroEngineering
Indeed. The best crashes ive suffered after a win is those pesky propellers that come from nowhere fast. Even when you try to dodge the debris, they still come at you for revenge. @Allstar
I did this
That sounds hilarious. Those detached wings have quite the loiter time. @Bobjoezonehill
I was chasing the AI with me in my flying boat fighter and him in the stock biplane. As im staying with him, he dives towards the south runway, levels off , turns a few times pulls up, then dives back down and crashes into the ground. I see it and think "oh ill land and come around and look at the damage." Well, as i start to touch down, right over the crash site, a part of the biplane's wing comes down, out of nowhere, and knocks off half of my left wing. I almost right my plane from the impact but by that time, ive lost what was left of my altitude and crash.
@Skua Sweet!
I was requested to record a video of an F-14 build in a dogfight, but in order to take advantage of the variable-geometry wings, I had to fly it myself. I wanted to find some way of defeating AIs that have Interceptor missiles when I don't have the manoeuvrability to dodge them, so I strapped a couple on my opponent and set the start distances to Far.
Now, I will admit that this took... more than a few attempts to get down properly. However, I eventually managed to duck down below the sides of the island to evade the first long-range missiles shot. I lurked there until the opponent got a bit closer, and switched to the semi-guided Guardian missiles. Crucially, these lock on quicker than the interceptors. I popped up over the ridge of the trench, got my lock first, and got the win. Totally worth all the failed attempts.
