![]() The typical BnZ planes are heavy planes with low/medium acceleration and climb rate, but with excellent dive ability, like the P 47 and the FW 190. Energy fighting comes in two types, Boom and Zoom, also known as BnZ and the one that is more true to the concept "energy fighting", where you have energy fighters competing over energy. Most of these doesn't preform well at low altitudes where the turn fighters are excellent, they do better at medium/high altitudes. The Vertical is mostly used by energy fighters, like the Bf 109, Yak's, FW 190's, P 47's, P 51's, F8F's late Spitfires, Typhoon/Tempest's, Ki 61/84's. But these planes doesn't do well at the altitudes where energy fighters thrive. Their wings give them good lift and combined with their light weight and large control surfaces they can turn very sharply and accelerate out of the turn faster than an energy fighter at low speeds, regaining the energy they lost in the turn fast. Turn fighters are slower than their energy fighter counterparts, but what they lack in speed they make up for with good turn rate, light weight, good acceleration and good climb rate at low/medium altitudes. The horizontal turn fighting is mostly used by planes that are agile, meaning the turn fighters, like the Zero, early Spitfires, I 16's, F2A's and many early tier fighters. Air combat is essentially a fight over who has the most energy and the one that can conserve it and use only what he needs for each maneuver he does is the victor.Īir combat consists of mainly two types of fighting, horizontal and vertical. Everything comes down to one thing in air combat and that's energy. ![]() ACM is about getting the advantage over your enemy and keeping it. Many players struggle to get kills and stay alive long in the battles.Īir combat maneuvers, or ACM is an art-form and it can often be a struggle to overcome your opponent, but if you use your plane as it is best suited you will soon learn that you can overcome enemies that you have only won against before on pure luck. Especially for those that fail to adapt to how the the flight characteristics of the planes change, they get faster and less maneuverable and so the technique in how to use them change as well, and so. As you get higher up in tiers it get harder and harder to get results. I will only talk about mono wing single engine propeller planes here, but what I will talk about applies to twin engine and jets as well.Īs many players have discovered. But also in the hopes that other players will use this thread to post tips and tricks that might help others. They do matter and it's simply something you have to learn to do in order to have a chance to win in this game.Īnd so I make this thread in the hopes that some will learn from it and start using the thing between their ears known as a brain and play smart. I make this thread because I am tired of losing fight after fight in Realistic Battle mode do to that people fail to play the planes right, or simply lack the knowledge of air combat maneuvers, it often seems to me like they treat the game as a FPS game where strategy and tactics doesn't matter.
