Hey guys, I was just wondering what are some good dog fighting techniques to use. I tried to play the campaign on Hard level and above and is constantly getting my ass handed to me because either one or both of two things happen.
1. Every single damn fighter decides to focus me. With 4 fighters even if they have the craptasic Prometheus R I still die just from the sheer amount of enemy fire.
2. Something gets behind me and I can't shake it off, it's like it knows where I will go and adjusted its aim so I die.
This has gotten especially frustrating in bombing missions, since I can't really rely on my wingmen to do anything useful other than dying, and I can't really dog fight in a bomber. The other thing is that I've been stuck on the first mission of the first SOC loop, where I have to escort the Iceni. Either those bombs decides to go head to head with me, or the Taurets get behind me and kill me. I was under the impression that a Myrmidon was supposed to be able to out maneuver a freakin heavy assault.
Also, is it me, or is it that in harder difficulties my weapon do less damage, their weapon do more, and they have more shield/hull?
Aim for circle near the targeting fighter. If you shoot there, most of your hits will be accurate. It's especially important as on the higher difficulties, your afterburner recharge rate slows, as well as energy recovery for weapons.
You mean the target lead indicator?

Yes.

Yes.
Personally I never even fight on that SOC loop. I don't want to kill Vasudans, I like them. So I just circle around, scan the Hinton, and let the other people do their stuff. With the occasional need to defend myself.

Really? I love that opportunity to participate in legal Vasudan hunting.

Ugh...then I get shot to death by the 2 AAA beams in the back. Anyways, I finally beat it, more due to luck than skill though (Iceni's beam killed the weapon subsystem for me like, 3 seconds after the Sobek jumped in). I'm starting to believe that mission hates me, since I can ALWAYS count on one of these things happen.
I fight back the first wave, I have good shield and hull (>80).
-Hinton get's mobbed, then Iceni dies because it refuses to fire it's beams
-Iceni refuse to hit the asteroids. I seriously failed this twice because Iceni went from 50 to 0.
-The Sobek hating on me. 6 times I got killed by it's anti-ship beams when it blasted through me to get to Iceni when I tried to use Iceni as missile blocks to evade the hax Taurets.
I fight back the first wave, I have poor hull(<30) due to Taurets using aim hax and I can't shake them, therefore taking a boatload of dmg.
-Taurets either all focus me, or they try to ram me, or both. This happened far too many time for it to be coincidence
I finally the both ship to the node, Iceni jumps out, all the fighter jumps out, Hinton's being a slowpoke, unlimited wings of Tauret (saggitarius iirc) jumps in and try to fry me while I'm alone and Hinton is taking it's sweet time.
Anyways, I don't imagine I'll be flying that mission again anytime soon, especially considering the bomber unlocked is bugged. Although I took comfort in that the last mission of the 1st SOC loop, I stayed back and all the fighters except Alpha2 got fragged by the turrets. The next few missions went really well, I even managed to save the AWAC ship during the TAG testing stage, something I've not been able to do the four times that I went through the campaign on normal.
be a man and trample the beam turrets leaving you with barely any hull left and smash trough any tauret!Manly indeed :yes: There's also flying through a lilith main beam in an ares, manly also :pimp:
Maybe not a bot, as it was topical and coherent. But brass knuckles are illegal in the USA, and posting links to illegal things violates our TOS, so that's good enough for a ban.
