ok newbies, learn how to fly and shoot at the same time please. this doesnt mean just being in the air and shooting, it means move and shoot at the same time. now, onto the guide.

1) Use the MACHINE GUN Vs EVERYTHING except for buildings. I constantly see newbies shooting missles at the orcas and they never hit. The machine gun is so much easier to aim, and is a constant stream of damage.

2) AIM HIGH! When in combat with another copter, dont shoot your machine gun while moving forward, because this causes the gun to point downward. DO move backwards when firing because you will aim higher, and hit from farther away.

3) STRAFE! hitting ctrl and the arrow keys will cause you to strafe in an aircraft. Its very usefull.

4) If your being whooped in the air, fly low to the ground because you DO NOT have a parachute.

5) When attacking tanks on the ground, fly directly overhead of them, and shoot with your machine gun. This makes it imposible for them to shoot you, because tanks turrets cant go up at a 90 degree angle.


If I think of any other things, ill post em. Happy flying.

Do not for get to get some tanks.
Once in a game people have Orca every where and the Nod rushed with 4 flame tank with 4 Apache. All the Orca is fighting with the Apache in the centre of the map with Apache and with a few people fighting the flame since all veichel is Orca we could not defend against flame tank and got flamed down.

Chill people. Instead of trying to convince people who want to buy aircraft not to buy aircraft, just play well yourself. For example, with engie or sniper. As engie, the aircraft can help you by informing locations of beacons and you can go disarm them.

And as sniper, you can clear the sky of enemy aircraft allowing your own aircraft to defend the base. Of course, it is better to have both engie and sniper and prefereably more than one of each.

Snipers cannot stop flame tanks but people want to try Orca out so we have not MRLS or med tank to stop the flame tank.
My advise is not to get too many air units perferable no more than 4.

Yes it is fun to do it.
You will see the driver panic and try to look around the tank to see who is shooting at them. Especially to those not lock the screen to turret.
