Why am I so bad?

I’m gonna plug another video. The BFM library did not really manage to make the whole concepts of one/two circle fights click for me as well as this DCS tutorial.

And I found today that it indeed makes a massive difference (tl:dr is - do lag pursuit when turning towards an opponent who is perpendicular to you rather than lead pursuit. When they’re in a specific position, fly straight for a second or two to shift your turn closer and then pull harder and aim in front of them to try to align before easing back to aiming behind them if you failed) This allows you to very cleanly fall behind them for easier shooting. This has been a life changer in sim for me )

It’s jets, but applies to props just fine.

“The bandit will keep yoyoing like this indefinitely” is what made this one make it click for me.

This game really requires skill and intelligence, my friend. Just play and watch tutorials. You will get used to everything in 1 month. It may take 2 years to teach everything. <33

What are you trying to improve?
What controls are you using?

You JUST started playing the game. What were your expectations? That you sit down, play for an hour, and can immediately compete with others?
That may be the case for simpler games like Battlefield, but not here. The skill ceiling is ridiculously high, much like fighting games. There is so much to learn, such as plane abilities, piloting skills, ballistics, pilot psychology, and so on.
Expect spending at least 500 hours to get decent at the game.

You’re in the C.202, a pretty nimble plane, although there is better at this tier (such as spitfires and ki-43’s).

The Italian playstyle is a mix of energy-fighting and turn-fighting, so:

1.) Please climb to at least 3000-4000 meters
2.) If you’re trying to attack someone and you’re above them, wait for them to come up to you, so they become slow and easy to kill

C.202 is alright, but it’s not the best at this tier. Planes like the Yak-1B, Spitfire IIa, and the Bf-109 F-1 will kinda hand you your ass if they play it well.

here are some tips for air.

  1. until you get some experience, try some arcade (it will help you with your aim)
  2. change your gun convergency (for my 600 m works best, this affects only planes with guns in wings)
  3. learn you planes pros and cons (are alot of youtubers that reviews the planes)
  4. from behing its harder to hit the enemy, try to position better.

The thing that i find so strange what leads to me also being bad (im lvl 12) if the matchmaking. I get some solid matches, climb high and get 2-3 kills and suddently after 5 matches i climb, find and enemy, attack him he does some sort of advanced maveric type move and is behind me and kills me with one bust. I look at the leaderboard, they are lvl 100 and my team is already halfway eradicated and no one is helping me. This has happend way to often to be a coincidence and has to be progarmmed that way. Fun is truly not allowed.

there will always be some lvl100s at prop tier but i mean what should they do about lvl100s not only playing top tier
you cant rlly complain about players playing some br

that is normal

also not that unusual

at what br?
if its something with cannons its also not that abnormal

I would not worry about it very much at all it is only a game that wastes time, it is not very entertaining and is more of an annoyance and frustration.
It has so many flaws, RNG and just plain cheating it is a poor gaming experience, it is easier just to pop in for a while waste a little time and then go and do something more useful.
Nothing changes it is just the same old same old, you can get better but you will still be annoyed, disappointed and frustrated as your team will still disappear, you will be RHGed out of no where, you will lose and wonder what happened and why.
You are playing against so many variables that are out of your control and that you may not even be aware are there that getting any fun or enjoyment out of the game is a miracle.

If those level 100s became level 100s, then so can you. We are all playing the same game.
