That's how I tend to flare. The flares stay with you quite a while like that.Arnie_Ze_Austrian wrote:
I agree with xXDomination. I use the stratorun a lot in the F-35B and, since I'm fairly crap at dogfighting, it is an excellent technique for pub survival. I fly fairly carefully in the F35B in that I spend most of my time watching out for jets and trying to ghost in behind them without them noticing, gunning down choppers or bombing contested flags. However, no matter how careful I am, I sometimes get locked by a jet. This is very common when chasing one J-10 and the second one chances upon you. If you want to score more than a handful of points, you have to put yourself in situations where you can/will be locked by J-10s.
I'm now pretty good at flaring as I roll the jet after hitting the apex of my loop, then looping up again for the stratorun. I fly the F-35B the most these days, so my KDR would be through the floor without stratorunning.
I rely on it less these days than I did when I first started piling on the hours in the F-35B, but it is still vital to me because I am not very good at manoeuvring my way out of a dogfight.
Also, make more heli vids plox.
