Im losing sanity bc of air rb im a new player to air rb and its pissing me so much that i fly for a few mins then die even if i get a kill i die after its fricking so annoying. u might think but wait why grind it if u hate it? well i need cas and i need air planes in ground rb i need help please
What BR, nation, and plane?
Britain i managed to suffer through the planes to spitfires 4.7 i can unlock the 4th era now
so you’re on spitfires now?
Spitfires maintain energy well, so don’t try to climb up then dive. Let the zoom and boom fighters come to you so you can outturn them. Their wings were built for that. When you get the griffon, go up to like 5000 m in altitude but for now stick to 4000m. Go watch some youtube videos to learn how to flat turn, rolling siccors, and low speed spirals. You should be able to kill the BF and FW quickly. Trap the p51s to go slow, and the Yaks like to dive so look up for those. Usually how are you dying?
i got after a plane if im above it then if its a head on i always dodge it bc il die after i kill him or not someone attacks me from behind and im gone
Ur guns are not good so avoid headons. If someone is behind just keep turning.
thats the problem bc if someone is on my tail i try to turn he evaporates me
alr im all ears
i think the best option for me is just bombers i fly sometimes die somtimes not and just get rp
Spitfires are very very solid aircraft, but are dogfighters, not energy fighters, so its all about getting things to try and turn fight you. Unlike P-51s, BF-109s, etc which will focus on climbing and diving to kill you.
as your focus is on CAS. Then your best bet is focusing on Line 1, 4 and 5. Though I do recommend getting the Spitfire LF MK IX foldered under the F Mk XIVe if you can, its one of our best spitfire.
The 7.7mm are only really good for sniping things and a killing things with a 1000 cuts. Hispanos pack a punch, but you need to conserve your ammo, due to limited ammo. Because of wing mounted guns, you are best to avoid headons.
As for CAS, it does change depending on what BR you are currently grinding for.
Line 1 and 5 will serve you the best until about 7.0. Though line 4 is also kinda useful
Line 2 until 8.0
line 4 and 5 till 11.7 at which point you want line 1 again.
TLDR, unless there is something specific you are after. Id mostly avoid line 3, the naval line has a few fun nuggets, but is generally not as good as the others.
Also dont sleep on the SQVs. Mosqutio B.MKXVI looks to be a very solid CAS aircraft for 3.7 to 6.0/7.0 ish and the Sea Harrier FRS1 is a useful CAP aircraft for 10.7
But honestly. Im not really sure what specific advice I can give other than just practice. I have no idea how to teach someone how to play ARB. I just… play ARB.

No bombers are dead. You are free rp for the fighters.
Unfortunately, this is the case. But might be hope on the future. If Gaijin can be bothered to do the Bomber overhaul properly.
though Canberra onwards can be fun, even in ARB

fighting in air is frustrating for me bc of the idea that u get 1 life and the thing that gets me most that u can just fly then die and have to do again for 0 rp but in ground its a lot more fun
I actually have the reverse opinion. Grinding the ground event at the moment and I just want to Alt F4 every single match.
The key with air is situational awarness. You mention earlier about someone getting onto your tail, well half the battle is preventing that from happening. You can do some defensive tactics like scissoring to try and break them off and get behind them, but that can be very hard.
Id suggest avoiding the initial fight, fly off to one side, stay out of the fight and then dive in. Alterantively, just stick with your teammates.
Also, should be noted, that mods have a major impact on performance. For ground, its kinda secondary most of the time, but for air, its quite important
He can always sideclimb
Yeah, read comment above :P
