[EP09] 5v1 breakdown, distance control and advance turns + chaff shielding

[@Garzor]

This is my second time watching all these videos, in my first i noticed a drastic improve on my combat skills, now something is clicking on my brain and im really enjoying dogfighting, seeing me on top of the leaderboards matches is so satisfying, i see it like an objective prove that im getting better! Thx for this man, all my support ❤

[@SingaporeanInKorea]

How are you looking around like that? TrackIR?

[@Pulciu]

This is very very helpful, I really like how you explain things. This is the first video that I've watched from your channel and will definitely be watching more. Please continue making this type of videos, even if it's just 1v1s or 1v2s, the explanation of what you're doing, even the small stuff can be very eye opener. Thanks!

[@Avenger__One]

thank you for supporting brother!

[@teahousereloaded]

Totally agree! It also turns avenger from the menace of AC into someone to look up to. :P o7

[@MrJawz99]

Can you possibly link you Control scheme for your dual stick setup? I'm really curious on what they are. Thank you for all these tutorials, they are extremely helpful!

[@baltod4978]

Are you consistently looking at their distance to gauge how fast they're moving away/towards you? When trying to close the distance on them- I find myself over shooting, or moving to slow to react- because looking at the physical ship- it just looks like a spec on my screen. I'm also trying to figure out which direction they're turning their ship- since the little red arrow on them, isn't always telling of if they're moving forwards or backwards. Just the direction their ship is facing. While I'm trying to process all this information, it isn't until I glance down at their distance, that I realize my speed limiter is preventing me from catching them- and I have to move that up, or they're getting ready to blow by me. Just a bunch of mistakes and errors on my part.

[@FearAngryTrees]

At the end of the video you run out of flares. I agree - if you throw 3 flares out no missiles ever hits you this patch. But what do you do if you ran out of flares and there is already a missile coming at you?

[@Avenger__One]

Typically your best option is too look towards the incoming flight path and HARD main thruster accelerate too spoof the missle. Second option is too burn too top speed while corckscrewing, but you will lose guns or your target if you do. Out of flares means you need to leave, your just playing chicken and it's only a matter of time but thous are your options. I WILL do a video on missle evasion ounce missles become more fleshed out.

[@baltod4978]

Also- I've seen this in fights, their ship just disappearing while I'm trying to track. Is that just them launching flares? Or the decoys? I thought they were pretty much the same?

[@Solar546]

This video series is very educational, thank you! I have a question what happens if I engage below 300 meters?

[@Avenger__One]

typically you run into tracking problems, taregts get out of your FOV and you get Less target time, unless you can get a good bead on them and know where they are going, its a good rule of thumb to stay 300 and open fire at 800

[@borkug1566]

Do you use Pilot Look Ahead with target = 1 and the rest at 0? Do you have a keybind to toggle it or do you always have it on? Thanks

[@Avenger__One]

I use track IR

[@loadmastermoe]

I'm assuming you fly duel sticks but do you have a Tobi or trackIr? If you get time and use a tobi can you make a video on the settings you use? I can never get mine to that sweet spot. Great video!

[@Avenger__One]

I will add it too the list absolutely

[@loadmastermoe]

@@Avenger__One thank you so much! Subbed and I'll keep my eye out for it.

[@Chachi_Sanchez]

Solid video, Im actually trying to figure out how to optimally dogfight and figure out what tricks I could employ over other users as a VR one. One thing I found out was I can launch/lock missiles anywhere I LOOK... so i can turn around in my chair and lock targets.

[@cuptainreese]

Wait. Since when has SC had vr support???!!!

[@cuptainreese]

I've haven't been following the game for about year. Last update I remember was 3.10 and its flight model change

[@Chachi_Sanchez]

@@cuptainreese Im the guy who does the VR Setup tutorials for SC, you have to use VorpX and fiddle with a LOT of stuff, but worth it imo just for dogfighting.

[@cuptainreese]

@@Chachi_Sanchez subscribed. Will need a new PC before attempting this for sure tho

[@neo-sh6ul]

Love the vids man. The breakdowns, pauses, even drawing on screen really help... nice work. Do you have forward/ backward throttle or just forward? I struggle to get my speed right in combat and i cant follow where your speed is at in the vids always...cheers.

[@Avenger__One]

Fwd/back bound too my pedals

[@DevilbyMoonlight]

great stuff, even for an old guy like me - subbed!

[@AKARazorback]

This is such great content! Thanks so much, I hope I can actually apply this when it matters. Question: why are you not aiming at your pip? I'm always really trying to aim at the pip, and hold fire until I'm actually on it.

[@Avenger__One]

Lag pips my good sir

[@AKARazorback]

@@Avenger__One ah so they are... changed quite a bit since I last used them (in 1.6 or so). Why are you using them over lead pips, what do you consider the advantage?

[@Avenger__One]

@@AKARazorback I like the accuracy and my eyes being on target and not the lead pip

[@Nubbley]

man i cant even 1v1 lmao but that might explain why i cant, is because i fly an arrow and have a hard time getting close enough without dying

[@ShadowCompanyPMC]

Are you running a sound mod?

[@mafioso89]

Comment for the algorithm. Awesome content.

[@titansquirrel4408]

This is so incredibly helpful

[@dabaschti7660]

@avenger_one Whats your opinion on setups? do i need joysticks and pedals to be succesfull in fighter combat or can mouse and keyboard do the trick as well?

[@sttosin]

"Risk it for the biscuit" I fixed the title of the vid for you :)

[@mane4582]

hey i came across you from a levelcap vid. i'm mostly an Fps gamer and up to this point has done my best to avoid ship combat. now that it's getting harder to avoid i figure i needed to learn a bit to stay a live in the verse. with that said i been watching your vid and as someone who NEVER played flight sims or space sim until star citizen, i'm so lost now i don't even know where to begin. 90% of the time i can't even find who is firing at me let alone track them and do all the other things i'm suppose to. i feel i need vids that treats me as a 5 yr old when it comes to this. do u recommend any youtuber who would be a great starting point to working my way back up to your vids with. i feel i need to level up just to understand what i'm watching in your vid as amazing and well detailed as they are

[@diamondswiss8026]

Brain = destroyed I’m honestly so confused but the combat looks impressive even though I physically can’t understand how you’re doing it. Still though, very impressive

[@Jo3-Gillian]

GF A1 , good analyse

[@Avenger__One]

thanks brother

[@danielhoffmann7798]

are you using a headtracker?
