Gabi_tro Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hello, I started playin 2 weeks ago. I managed to learn the basics, I can take off, I can land and all the other stuff that doesn t imply fighting. . I started learnin about combat but it is overwhelming and I cannot find a good tutorial to learn from the begining. I need to know what every weapon does, countermeasures, tactics, radar and so on. Can you recommend something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draconus Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Can you recommend something? 1. Read manual. 2. Practice what you read. 3. Watch videos of others doing it.

DeltaMike Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 https://www.cnatra.navy.mil/local/docs/pat-pubs/P-1276.pdf It's still kinda light on BVR tactics. Appendix C speaks to this but I think you'll find it mainly involves being aware of what's going on, having a flexible gameplan and communicating effectively with AWACS and your wingman.

Aerovenator Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 One thing I want to add: Consider buying TacView. In my opinion its absolutely necessary to review your flights and analyse your mistakes.

Pac-Man Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Here is a video I made a while back on the radar functions of the F-15. It won't obviously tell you how to use the Hornet's radar. However, it will give you a better understanding of how the radar works and hopefully give you a better feel of how to use radar in general. This is a 3 part series. It breaks down what the radar is doing, how it is doing it, the differences between STT and TWS and some of the things to be aware of while using radar. Good Luck. Feel free to ask questions as you go along. There's always people here willing to help.
