I have searched the internet for tips or ways to train ,but none i tried have helped. Anyone got any good tips/ways to help myself train my aim?
Just play the game a bunch. Muscle memory will install itself.
But a couple of things:
Play arcade, it will teach you aiming.
Don’t chase the aiming circle. Learn to put it on a target and then let the reticle come to it and when to snap the mouse button.
Learn to lead based on distance. Close range you can just put it on the nose. Longer range you need to aim further in front.
Learn to track moving targets smoothly and don’t “ambush”.
I’m sure the old sweats will have more tips.

Play the game.
Don’t just spray, fire when you think it’ll connect even on a one tap.

Since i dont see any tags - aim with what?
Planes?
Tanks?

If you got the ammo then you can just do a burst starting with too much lead and let them fly into it. Gets you a rough feeling for the guns over time and at some point you just get good. Start learning with guns that have high ammo and muzzle velocity like 50cals, and once you feel good at it go for planes with high ammo cannons like hispanos or an/m2 etc.
Practice - play the game.
Perhaps play Assault a bit.
Why practice aiming hard to hit target when u can instead learn proper energy fighting and such to make the target easier to shoot? Unless u still suck at that then idk, play more.
At the beginning you can try to get close to get shots, that’s what worked for me. Then with muscle memory you’ll be able to shoot from further and further until a 750m shot is fine for you.
If you want to learn the ballistics of a new gun you can use test flight and try defection shots on the bots
Arcade is really the best way to learn, because of the lead indicator. The lead indicator given has certain limitations: it assumes the enemy continues straight from a given instant in time, it assumes you have no relative velocity, and that there is no parallax in play. However, you will gain the sense to lead properly on your own over time, at which point you can switch to Air RB as the tags of your post focus on.
Be sure to check out Defyn’s guide here, and others:
Tbh I spent most of my game time in arcade and only switched to realistic when I reached jets, and despite this I was pretty bad at aiming at the beginning and I felt like I was learning from scratch. I just learned because the tracers showed me wether the bullets went in front, behind, above or below the aircraft. So I wouldn’t say arcade is that great for learning to lead
wrong. Arcade shows wrong in many cases. Just use tracer rounds and aim at ARB with some high maneuverable propellers. I learned to aim just after i left arcade
See 山 田 凉’s post above.
It teaches basic deflection lead very well. Tracers don’t tell you about point of aim at anything but very close range. Where lead is relatively simple (aim at the nose and walk it on).
But they tell you good enought at distances around 500 meters, whereas you mostly shoot to “side” of a plane
