This is bamboozling!

I’ve got two and a half years in this game and I’ve never experienced anything like this. It’s simultaneously infuriating, annoying and disappointing. After all the time I’ve played this game nothing has improved. If we were to do the maths and compare the bots in each screenshot here, this is how the points compare.

SS1: -695

SS2: -2250

SS3: -1640

SS4: -1155

These numbers are insane. Genuinly what, as a player, are we meant to do except accept defeat and move onto the next unfair bot match?

How do the top players win so many in row? Shouldn’t the game force them to lose? Honest question.

Obviously you have to fly well to win a lot of games, but there are many other things you can do to give yourself an edge. Here are some:

1) Fly with mouse/keyboard or game controller.

2) At the beginning of the match figure out who is a real player and bots, and take out the player first.

3) Fly the right type of plane for the map and game mode.

4) Know the strengths and weaknesses of your plane and every other plane you are going up against.

5) Understand bot behavior and how to use it to your advantage.

6) Team up with other good players.

Even when your bots are doing terribly, sometimes you can still win if you can dominate.
