¶ Settings
- If you play on low particles, set them to high/ultra for better visiblity, change it back before you log of, otherwise it's bugged.
- render distnace should be at ~3000m
¶ Keybindings
- Bind your "S" key (or any other) to analog throttle to get into hover mode quicker. (Press w once to land when you hover over ground)
- bind pitch up and down to comfortable positions (depends on )
- bind roll keys
¶ Loadouts
The rotary deals high damage, but requires high accuracy due to a lower magazine size.It is therefor useful for short rangeengagements.
The needler deals less damage but has higher magazine size and a larger damage falloff range. It is therefor useful for long range and mid range engagements.
¶ Flex
The goal is maximising flexibility, you can fight enemey air, tanks and infantry with this loadout. Switch to Hornets to angage tanks better.
¶ A2G
The goal is to kill every single one of them. Use flares and rocks to block enemie flak.
¶ AA
The goal is to engage enemie fighters, the External Tanks help with Manoeuvres.
¶ Rusher
The goal is to run at the enemie and kill them with one or two clips.
¶ Sensitivity
- Low: good for aiming
- High: good for flying
- Use keys for roll and pitch
- Ease into something comfortable
- Get a big Mouse pad
¶ Aiming
- Use "ad" keys and roll to aim
- Proper Sensitivity is important
- Find balance between dodging and shooting
Take videos of your sessions and see if you undershoot or overshoot and adjust your sensitifity accordingly
PRACTICE! is the most important factor

¶ Target Priority
"Always kill what hurts you or could hurt you"

- ESF
- Liberators

- Galaxies
- Valkyries
- Ground Targets
¶ Manoeuvres
¶ Reverse Manoeuvre
VIDEOS COMING SOONTM
¶ Over the top
This is a hard manoeuvre but, can help you get alot of extra shots at the enemie, as it will be very hard for your enemie to track you

make sure to not get stuck at the top of the arch or you will fall out of hovermode
¶ Forcing enemies out of hover
Taking the low ground forces enemie ESFs out of hovermode and therefore makes their movement more predictable
