hello! i need some help on jet operation so i can make my role in the game easier. Im not a big user of jets/choppers as i get laggy sometimes and i crash. but in maps like kashan and kamishiah things get smoothier and a jet is always on my asset start up list.SO, the questions are.1.How do i land in kashan and kamishiah?. i make 3-4 rounds over the base to end up with a success rate of 50%!. whats a standard land route/speed/altitude data so i can perform routine lands. 2. How do i fly more effectively? sometimes i fly direct straight and turn at the bounds of the map, or making rounds '8"shape like. and i always keep my throttle to the max. the result is. aa gets me, bot jet gets me. and usually when i see an enemy jet i try to follow him like im an infantry and i lose him because i cant make tight turns!., any other extra tips are welcomed. Thank you!! :m1helmet:

It depends on the jet really, some planes like the Mig-29 and the Su-22 Fitter can easily approach 200 meters up and as low as 550 speed (550-650 approach is advised on Kashan, or else you will overrun the runway and crash, press E to stop it in this emergency..) and others need up to 850 to not stall out.. On the final stretch, ensure you have the correct speed (if not, just go out of bounds and turn in circles with 0% until you reach your speed) for your jet and pull down, give a little resistance with the engine + pull up to avoid nosediving and level yourself when you begin to stall out.. To avoid AA, just fly 1200 meters or higher unless you have a laze and are sure the target is there.. To turn on the fly, increase mouse\joystick sensitivity, PR jets are reallly stubborn at times.. I usually do go a bit slower than the normal approach speed, never has been a problem for me and others..
