AA avoiding tactics for jets?!?

[PatrickLA_CA]

My biggest problem with the A10 and other jets is the AA, while it is very easy to avoid it with choppers, are there any badass tacticts to avoid ground or AA from other jet?

Instead of flying around under 1500m, stay landed at main until you have a target. In most good servers, your not allowed to baserape, so your more or less safe at main. Flying around like nilla will just get you killed.


Otherwise, fly at ~ 3000m (Don't go past 4000m!) and circle the map. When you go for a strike, come down at a near 90 degree angle, fire selected payload while spam about 10 flares, and pull up at a 90 degree angle, heading straight up to 3000m again. If no targets are left, rearm. The more times you attack subsequent locations, the more likely someone will grab an AA kit, move an AA vehicle up, or send the MiG / F16 to kill you.


Other then that, think about how to kill jets with AA. Do everything BUT those tactics, and you should be fine. Although you most likely won't always know where they are, basic rules for AA are:

1. If they don't lock on, they fire straight, then up. It's possible to kill jets without a lock.
2. Going head-on to an AA missile has a better chance of the AA missing, then if the missile follows you. Even more so if it tries to shoot you while your moving sideways. Flying away from it will allow it to kill you easier.
3. It's VERY Venerable to fire. spraying hydras at AA is a good tactic, since it has a large blast radius, and you get 38/128 of them, for A10 and Frogfoot respectively..
