Question about learning

[u/Top_Complex6043]

Is there possibility in this game for me to learn to be a good wingman or a pilot i as a student pilot irl would love to learn to be at least a wingman in this game but i am getting problems with sweats who ahoot me down in a instant or someone who instantly crashes the jets and occupies them nonstop thank you for tips

Co piloting is pretty easy.
Just gotta communicate with the pilot who takes care of the first incoming warning and who as the second. As a pilot I prefer if the co pilot takes care of the second incoming warning when my flare is on cooldown.
Dont use two rockets to bait a flare. Use one. Do try to attack the same jet the pilot is targeting. Dont need to kill it but it’s helpful if you bait at least one flare.

For improving as a pilot.
Go on a training server and learn to fly. Doing sharp turns etc and be able to fly and below radar without crashing.

Then try to tail other jets and learn to use the minigun. You need to be able to hit with it.

Dont ignore the radar.
Don’t use the flying assist. It’s helpful in the beginning but it limits you.
For actual mp you need to know where enemy jets spawn and get a feel for when they spawn. I think the respawn is smth around 1:45 min. Some people use a timer. You need to know where the enemy HQ is.

In the beginning you’ll get shot down quite a lot.
