(first test drive F4 and mig23 will pay off don’t do it for too long tho)
- Pick your jet:
- USA → F-4 Phantom II
- Russia → MiG-23
- Load as many missiles as possible
- Use IR-guided missiles:
- AIM-9 Sidewinder (USA)
- R-60 (Russia)
- Do NOT fire missiles near friendly jets (can lock wrong target → teamkill)
- Stay behind friendly jets so they engage enemies and draw SPAA fire
- Aim to get at least 2–3 kills
- Watch for friendly planes (teamkills cost a lot of SL)
- Be aware enemies can counter missiles using flares + chaff
Option 1: Air combat
- Focus on enemy aircraft
- Use positioning and missiles to secure kills
- Build up spawn points safely
Option 2: Farm SPAA / ground targets
- Attack SPAA and vehicles using cannons + bombs
- Expect missiles from SPAA → stay low
- Constantly use flares + chaff to survive
- Destroy targets to build spawn points
- SPAA and light vehicles can also be destroyed with your cannons if missiles run out or air combat isn’t going well → expect return fire/missiles
Nuke run (after ~250 spawn points)
- Spawn a fast nuke-capable plane (F-4 or MiG-23)
- Choose areas with lots of enemies (SPAA fields or tank convoys)
- Fly high and use flares + chaff
- Stay at least 12 km away from SPAA
- Drop the bomb
- Turn around and return to base
- Nuke runs usually give ~250 spawn points → use that to get another nuke
(this might take 1-2 matches if you do it right)
