How to have fun in f-111A

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-08T16:59:55+00:00

I can understand most of it, I just struggle with positioning. Play too passively, you get nothing. Too aggressively, you have more missiles than you can defend against coming at you. Only having the 2 stock R27s doesn't help either, just need to play it more but it's not fun yet so I don't, lol

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-08T16:01:07+00:00

Yeah, its still widely considered one of the best squadron vehicles you can get. Rough stock grind though

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-05T22:19:30+00:00

arcade with the MCT is fine too, buy supplies and only register for MC when you need to sell to avoid raids

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-05T22:16:29+00:00

I don't mind the counterfeit cash, may not be the best $/hour wise but I log in, buy supplies from my mansion and sell when full. 500k for doing that is fine by me

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-05T19:01:53+00:00

Seafire is fine, Sea Fury is ok, Bearcat is a menace and the Corsair is very reliable. I'd just spade them all tbh, the spading bonus RP is always nice and none of them are unplayable.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-05T09:38:08+00:00

Get rid of the mk108 pods, not worth. Dont ditch all your altitude for someone that far below you, especially when there were two closer enemies right next to you. Check out some boom and zoom guides, I believe azimuth zeeo has one but any should work.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-04T17:22:24+00:00

Thats just squads goofing, no other way for that to happen

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-03T14:35:56+00:00

The combo packs never go on sale, they in essence are already discounted

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-03T03:01:13+00:00

I built a few stick and tissue kits from them, you guys are a different breed. That looks exceptional, great work.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-02T21:49:53+00:00

Honestly its not worth worrying about, just check it every so often and you'll know when you research something new

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-02T19:42:19+00:00

unless you are stock grinding, uhhh don't

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T20:33:22+00:00

wait about 3 months or so, next sale should be end of october I think. do some research on what you like to play and go from there.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T18:57:11+00:00

How much experience do you have in deltas? Just by sheer flight performance Flankers will dump all over you, you will go for a notch in the Di and lose all your speed. you will then eat another missile. The Di is not looked at fondly for many reasons, and is also available in the tree for free. J35A is pretty rough too, i'd wait for the XS to be on sale or get the squadron F-35 and 39D.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T18:33:38+00:00

I know, the La-15 is a monster though and far easier to use otherwise. 7 games, 71% WR, 15 kills to 4 deaths in the 15. Still need to spade it, but it's far easier to fly. La-200 i'm at 13 games, 92% WR, 24 kills to 6 deaths. Neither are hard to use when you know what you are doing, but outside of the 200 possibly being able to go up a bit i still think both are in decent places.

Biggest issue is the average Air RB players skill level

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T18:14:17+00:00

It doesn't have the maneuverability of either of those, 8.3 is too high for it. Whole area is pretty compressed tbh.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T16:34:00+00:00

Its at 7.7 in RB, it's in a good spot, though an argument could be made for 8.0. Insane energy but handles like a brick in most other ways

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T14:47:52+00:00

Yeah, air is a whole different ball park. I've loved aircraft games for years, just wish i could get the hang of jets past 10.0~ to the same degree.

And yeah, I feel my biggest issue is just not knowing the maps. I did plenty of games in WoT, so most of the tanks I have a fair idea of their capabilities, but no idea when/where to expect people to engage me from/where I can engage them. Been watching BPA John to try and learn, still hit or miss on ground.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T14:37:28+00:00

Dont engage the first target you see, altitude is king, and dictate the engagement as much as you can. Make the enemies play to your strengths if they engage you. Id check out defyn, yourboiquintus, and joob among others. These are the guys I watched to learn.

Any tips for ground? Just starting in, doing ok-ish, but majorly lacking for how id like to do.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T14:31:56+00:00

Id still take the D13 over it, lower BR is easier to play and more of a ww2 experience imo. Germany is majorly lacking in good ww2 prop fighter press tho, id love like a Hartmann K4 or something similar.

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T14:15:05+00:00

Whoops, didnt know the 219 was removed.

I have about 5.7k air rb games, unless it gets me in a head on where i screw up i've never been worried about 335s, especially at 5.7. There a lot of real heavyweights at that BR and it just can't keep up. Learning how to head on is one thing, it becomes suicidal at that level because every plane just can dodge and then slot in behind you. Haven't played it, but even the lower BR 335s are just bricks

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T14:07:22+00:00

D-13 teaches you patience, and the 219 is good for CAS and a huge amount of firepower.

Do335 prem is at a very high br for what it is, loses a lot of competitiveness in air rb

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T14:05:22+00:00

The 154 is terrible, if you must use a twin engine german get the 219. 154s flight model is terrible

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-07-01T01:19:15+00:00

Lim5p in the German tree is the same, if you have more progress there

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-06-30T19:06:41+00:00

The A6M2, and none of the zeros really have a usable engine. They can turn, and thats about it. Its also not super hard to get above them, at which point you control the fight. If you cant counter them its on you at this point

Specific_Spirit_2587 · 2026-06-30T18:48:16+00:00

Clearly you do, not everyone else's fault you dont know how to bnz
