The Dicta Boelcke and PR: How to win in Dogfights

Wow. He did very well with that. It seems as if he knew that was going to happen.

Elektro is one of the best fast air pilots you'll see in PR. Feckin' awesome.

I Stopped reading when I saw this "-Fly in RADAR OFF".

Do me a favour. This is PR. Not some super flight sim. Learn to fly the PR way. Not what the super flight sim Book tells you to fly.

My life expectancy is 15 seconds if an OP4 jet gets on my six. and an OP4 jet has a life expectancy 4 seconds due to the way I fly.

That is one sick video.

Me flying with Radar off has nothing to do with super flight sims.

The reasons I fly with radar off:

1. I have a good handle on checking my surroundings; I can usually ID visually more effectively than I can with the radar. Sometimes I'll switch to AMRAAMs for the slightly longer-than-visual detection range, but as soon as I pick something up with that, I swap out to bombs or radar OFF at once, because...

2. I don't want to give my victim ANY warning at all that I'm coming on account of my electronics doing their job. If he gets the warning before my missile is a half second from going up his engines (remember that the lock and warning are separated by two seconds), his flare reflex will likely save him from the first missile, giving him the chance to evade or steer me on a pursuit that leads me by hostile AA threats. I started on his tail and ended up dead, and my team will have to endure threats from the sky because I gave my foe just enough warning to respond.
Like it or not, this method has worked for me. I've only gotten shot down by enemy jets in an actual round ONCE.

the Radar off mode is just so you can sneak up on enemy jets, nothing complicated you just press 1, when you see an enemy you try to get a good angel and then switch to your AA. I have a question what is the difference between the long rage AA and short range AA? hell i didnt know that their was a differnce till i read this thred and which one is which ? (is the short range AA the one w/ 4 missles?)

[Alex6714]

In my experience in jets, radar on is just as effective. Just fire as soon as you get tone and 90% its a kill, at least it seems so for me...

[Oddsodz]

lolol. They think that I am some sort of PR noob (well might be true). I Am the reason why the CATA team from the PR tournament would not play Kashan 64 in the last campaign. Their leaders know my jets skills all to well (I fly for NATO). I know all about flying in vBF2 and PR flying. Flying with radar off is not in your best interest in PR. Now if it was vBF2 then yes. But in PR, No. But in the end, It's what works for you.

This should be moved to "Tales from the front" section. IMO

Some of you may see this as an arrogant statement but there really isn't much exaggeration here, trust me.
