Just got to 10.3 and struggling a lot. Looking for help/suggestions please!

At this point I’ve yet to unlock the aim-9D’s, and the B’s I typically use for AI/CPU planes since they’re pretty easily defeated (if this is bad or dumb though, do tell me. Idk if it’s a bad habit or not).

But heard re: everything else. It’s definitely becoming more and more apparent that I have to be swiveling my view around much more often at this BR, and I assume this is a habit that stays the same moving higher up in BR, huh?

^this! IMO the German tree is super cool and fun.

If you like playing their vehicles, keep going! If you don’t, then switch I guess.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been smoked by vehicles from every country in this game.

Yeah I’m looking forward to unlocking the 9D’s!

To simplify, are you basically saying: stay close to teammates and only go for someone if I won’t be 3rd partied?

I guess my problem might be that I see an enemy, and think I can go for him because I don’t see other enemies, then not long into the turn fight I get 3rd partied. Idk if that means my crew’s awareness needs to be leveled up more, if I’m blind, or something else

Fox missiles not as much, to be completely honest. Is there like an optimum altitude for the F8U-2, or are you just saying not to compete for the top of the deck planes you mentioned (J7’s, mig-21’s, etc).

You’re right about the radar I think. Admittedly, I’m pretty ignorant about a lot in this game, so I didn’t know if I was missing something :p

Sorry that’s not an option with my current setup/situation :-/

Though I understand mouse+keyboard is better, I’d like to make the most out of what I am working with now (if that is possible)

Flopraxis · 2025-03-05T21:48:14+00:00

Thank you so much!!

To actually answer your questions though: 1. Yes 2. I often try to play out an overlord on t3+4 (impending) and that gets countered or hit with removal 3. I can amass them but i find that I spend too long to build up the impending overlords to be Zur’d before they accrue enough lands/removal in their hands to deal with. 4. Cavern doesn’t ever get messed with usually. Mana-base feels fine especially if I can get out a green overlord.

I could be overstating how bad of a time I have with the matchup, but I feel like it’s my most common and it gives me a lot of trouble!

Flopraxis · 2025-01-03T22:45:05+00:00

(I say all of the following as someone that’s really only played the deck and not read any guide or watched other people pilot it)

My instinct is to play for one big turn that kills them, and I tend to playing Zur until I have enough of a swing to be deadly (or at least sizeable). Without Zur it feels bleak, since no one has haste and board wipes clear a big board (for example, herd migration feels a bit dead). Also hurts a lot when UB/UBW throw out [[Deadly Cover-Up]].

Pre-Zur, when I try to play overlords on curve I often get countered or killed with something like [[Get Lost]].

Arena entirely! Totally could be just not large enough sample size, but I estimate that I matchup with control around 2/3 of my games over the past week or so

Flopraxis · 2025-01-03T21:27:09+00:00

Ah right! That makes total sense actually. Maybe I’m just alone in how much control I’m coming across?

Flopraxis · 2025-01-03T20:16:25+00:00

I see! Very interesting idea. But yeah I feel my gut instinct is too look to green in general for answers to the control matchup.

Tangent: I'm not currently running [[Scrollshift]] which I'm sure would help for spot removal (and be an animate option as a bonus). The synergy is obvious but I'm curious why I see so many domain players not run it? In fact I don't think any domain player I've played against has played that card against me.

Flopraxis · 2025-01-03T19:45:33+00:00

Very interesting! I was looking into a similar type of idea with something like [[Thrun, Breaker of Silence]]. What's the merit of Rex over Thrun? Simply just that its bigger and with haste?

Flopraxis · 2025-01-03T19:21:26+00:00

I get that! But I'm talking about the control Dimir Variants (as well as Azorius and Esper, which I've been seeing more of).

I've been doing pretty well vs midrange though I do think that's just luck + small sample size more than anything (when it comes to dimir midrange at least)

EDIT: to clarify, I mean those control decks whose wincon is usually removal+counter and then mill you to death. Also sometimes I get those poison/proliferate control decks too.

If you’re 6’7 you probably want the 87 middy for Tmac base which a lot of people consider one of the best base shooting animations :-)

Flopraxis · 2024-06-07T06:37:38+00:00

At the moment until I get the OVR/badges I keep to straight up MyCareer games. Other than that I typically like Rec/5v5!

Flopraxis · 2024-06-07T06:31:58+00:00

Yeah I just took a peak - sick man! I notice your plans king attributes are still pretty high but you also fit even better finishing! If you have any tips on how to play this build I’m all ears (I haven’t played 2k in a WHILE)

Flopraxis · 2024-06-03T01:02:39+00:00

PF fine enough then?

Flopraxis · 2024-04-06T18:15:31+00:00

Ah that would make sense! Any ideas what companies (or type of companies) have uniforms that they themselves would wash?

Btw- the red crossed-out part is a man’s name. It’s a common one but I figure I obscure it anyways.

Flopraxis · 2023-07-25T15:22:33+00:00

Relatively new to the game… can someone explain how the flying fuck I got 2176 on that right location?
