LOL. I take it that you didn't watch the first video where I said I was still learning? This is a beginners guide, as I am a beginner, and I'm sharing my experiences with the hopes others can learn. On top of that, most of that footage is older and I have have more chain and rocket pod stuff in the next ones. I'm glad you enjoyed at least a little bit until you felt compelled to tell me how terrible I am.

[NecojiProductions]

The timing is roughly 2.5 seconds up, and then right after that 0.8 seconds tilt in either direction to straighten out. I have this set up on a mouse macro and its pretty useful.

[croner]

Im subbing to your channel, Lots of really usefull and teaching information. Im a pretty good pilot my self and i find your videos really entertaining :) Keep up the good work! <3 PS2

[STLYoungblood]

Good question, probably around 200 with membership and station cash all included. Might be a tad less. I get really sucked into games that I play though, so I haven't really bought anything else.

[STLYoungblood]

I don't necessarily disagree, however, I think they are really useful for people learning how to fly. On top of that, the alternative, rocket pods, have been labeled by so many as OP. So you have easy mode or over powered, but you gotta choose one unless you prefer Afterburner pods, which is okay, but why handicap yourself?

[STLYoungblood]

Agreed. They are easy mode, but they aren't that overpowered, especially when it takes 2 plus to kill. Ideally, you should be able to get out of there in time so it hurts, but doesn't kill.

[piecesofpizza]

Can't believe I didn't know about auto-pilot until now xD Probably would've made setting waypoints while leading so much easier.

[frans]

It should also be noted that lock on missiles can be aimed with mouse-look.

[STLYoungblood]

Good tip! I'll give that a shot. Thanks bud!

[STLYoungblood]

171 as of right now. Keep in mind I spend a lot of time just flying around practicing moves/maneuvers. I'm certainly not the best out there though.

[mogwai]

It's cheap but the ennemies aren't evading at all. Experienced pilots use buildings / mountains to evade.

[dandogpuff]

Wakes up.
Looks at sub box.
Sees multiple PlanetSide 2 uploads.
Shits self!

[Sixpabs]

I'd recommend using extra mouse buttons "if you have them" and make them you "up/down" so you can bank faster.

[lizhiwen]

When you take 2 hits, your health bar will be red and your aircraft will lose some control. The enemy can easily finish off with few bullets.

[randito]

Fantastic guide btw. Very informative..

[croner]

Its all about saving and playing with boosts. I play a lot my self and i currently have 800 certs wich was a 2-3 day work from 0 certs and that is with 3-5 hours of gameplay each day. Boosts really help :)

[TacticalCardboard]

Should have done the timing on an Immelmann (half loop w/ roll at the top).

If only they made a game where dogfighting doesn't consist of mash the brakes and fire lock ons. :/

[MrKingOfNever]

The don't be a dick clip at the end was kind of priceless

[STLYoungblood]

I appreciate the offer man, but I'm already in an outfit on Waterson. Good hunting though!

[STLYoungblood]

I'm a premium member, use boosts occasionally, and I play a lot. Not to mention I'm pretty good :)
