NEED TUTORIALS

****Jets/Bombers tutorial****
By: [R-PUB]Szarko

**Note**
If you are new to flying please practice first in a local (non-internet) sever. Planes are a valuable asset to your team. When used correctly, you can help your teamates a lot by taking out troops, armor and enemy jets.

**Flying**
- When flying to any target try to fly high at around 400-650m. This will make you less vulnerable to enemy SAM sites and enemy planes are less likely to notice you.
- Be sure to know enemy SAM site positions. This will help to determine if you have a plane on you or just a SAM.
- If you hear the lock noise press "C" to see if it is an enemy plane or enemy SAM.

**Landing**
- Landing is essential in PR. Once you use your bombs/missles then you have to land and re-arm.
- When coming in for a landing, align yourself with the carrier/airfield and hold "S".
- Make sure you shoot down enemy planes before you land. That way you know that you will be safe while re-arming.

**Evasive Maneuvers**
- When evading SAMs, try to fly in an "S" shape and release flares once you hear the solid lock tone.
- Evading planes is harder. One of the easiest ways to dodge an enemy plane is to just pull up and hold "S". The enemy plane should go flying right by you. Another technique for dodging enemy planes is to do a double loop. To do a double loop do a single loop and once your at the peak of that loop pull up once again to do another loop. The enemy plane should either lose you or stall.

**Bombing**
- Bombing is a skill that every pilot needs in order to be successful. To select the bombing mode press "2". Do not waste bombs on low-threat vehicles like a jeep, it would be much better to bomb a tank or APC.
- Use the vertical line on your hud as a rough guide to where your bombs are going to land.
- When bombing vehicles, try to "Dive bomb" them. This is done by flying high then diving straight for an enemy vehicle, then releasing the bombs, and flying away. This will concentrate the power of both bombs in a very small space.
- When bombing troops/flags try to fly level and then droping bombs. This will spread the bombs apart and do more damage than the "Dive Bomb" technique

**Dog Fighting**
- When looking for an enemy plane it is best to do it in "Ground Attack Mode ("2")" so if you find an enemy plane you will be able to get into the "Ideal Possition" to kill him.
- The "Ideal Position" to destroy an enemy plane is right behind him and a little bit bellow. Once in this possition it should be very easy to destroy the enemy.
- Switch to "Air Attack mode" by pressing "1". This will allow you to use missles on the enemy plane. Once in the "Ideal possition" shoot one missle once you get a solid lock. Follow the enemy plane if you miss and fire another missle once you have lock.

**Strafing**
- Strafing is when you use your guns to destroy/suppress enemy troops and light vehicles.
- When strafing troops/flags try to move side to side with "A" and "D". This will spread your bullets apart.
- When strafing light vehicles try to lead them in the direction they are going. It should not take much to destroy it.

**Bombers**
- Make sure you fly nice an level when you see enemy vehicles so that your gunner can take him out with his laser guided missles.
- You get 5 bombs. So try to use them to destroy large areas and not a jeep in some remote area.
- Evading and Dog Fighting is a lot harder to do in Bombers. I would suggest not trying to shoot enemy planes down.

**Closing Notes**
Flying planes and using them to their full potential takes practice. It may be frustrating at first, but once you get better you will enjoy it a lot. It also helps if you have a joystick.
