Like the Title says i am struggling to play air-rb germany like Me-262 Me-163 Ho-229 v3,
İ know i am not the best air player but i tried every trick i can like Do don’t dogfight be zoom and boom or target just who distracted are even i tried to kill bombers but nothing really work’s, should i just buy a premium Plane to skip it like G.91 R4
My english isn’t that good so sry for writing bad but i would like some tips
i cant speak on most of the German aircraft because i only have their Japanese equivalents, but i can speak on the Me-262 and Me-163
With the 262, the best strategy is to stay high and pick your targets carefully, hopefully able to just dive, shoot, and pull up. Its not really a dogfighter at all, more BnZ than anything
For the Me-163, be careful with your fuel, but altitude is what you need most. Try not to dogfight or youll lose fuel/energy quickly, but one turn BnZ esque fights work especially well
I’ve been playing this game since 2013.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t hit anyone using Me-262, unless they really want to get hit.
The guns are INSANELY bad.
The plane itself has probably the worst performance among 7.0 jets, but I can create quite a few firing opportunities, only to miss everything.
Or better, hit 1-2 shells and do absolutely no damage, because 30mm HE is somehow a joke.
So IMO, the best idea is just to avoid these jets, unlock something more usable and hope one day Gaijin adds 2x20mm gunpack to Arado-234 B, thus creating the ultimate jet dogfighter, lol.
Honestly the only tip is be fast, stay fast. Your engines are horrible at accellerating to a decent speed so try to keep up the airspeed. Which then brings up the problem of the 30mm guns. They slap but they have horrible muzzle velocity and are meant to destroy big bombers not nimble fighters. They can work but especially the guns really need practice to be effective.
The Me 163 is just overtiered, its fun but 8.0 is just too high.
Just play he162 East German 15 bis and lim5, they’re the best options. 162 outruns everyone all you do is just hit and run. The other two have the same good ability to keep speed so you be going upward while turning which lowers speed insanely fast and will get your enemy to stall before you.
You can make it without a premium but France at this rank it’s almost impossible to survive…
Do not play the Me-262, it get stronger opponents every battle like Su-9/11, you will always loose dogfights and you are not that fast to do boom and zoom. Me-163 too low fuel dont like to use it, and the 30mm not great fro mid-long engagements.
I would say to go for the He-162, its a pretty decent fast jet against prop planes, the 20mm are almost decent, use the AP belt bc HE sucks. Great for boom and zoom.
The Ho-229 I use it against tanks, very good for CAS.
If you just want to grind easy and fast the air TT, go for the IL-28.
