Star Citizen 3.23: VHRT - Howto beat them in a fighter

[@Kullerkaefer]

Thanks for the quick upload. I'll try it again tonight with your tips.👍

[@TrokarSC]

Nice work as always! 👍

[@feral1021]

That is a nice breakdown. Thanks

[@mcaddc]

Some great tips. Thank you!

[@Jezato]

Nice flying!, what setup are you using? one of theose G9 odyssey monitors? it looks so crisp

[@joronasc]

yep

[@sychmil]

how to save f7weapon group? my setting always resetting even i am still on the ship

[@joronasc]

Really? Never encountered a problem like that. Maybe you have a missmatch of your keybindings and press sometimes a key which also reorg that ( just a guess - but maybe worth looking )

[@llawlied6902]

How do you handle 1 vs 2 connies and one Corsair? The ships you get seems to be very random I've even had a carrack Also rockets rarely hit for me and quite often i shoot the green circle foe 10s and domt see any danage on the ship on my mfd

[@joronasc]

Fight against this is more easy than having the typical HRT enemies ( Fighters ). But in the same way - i explained in the video. In atmospahere, stay above them - because they are kinda slow its easy to separate the targets from each other. I will release other videos, also an Arrow doing VHRT, HRT where i fight exactly this constellation of ships.

[@llawlied6902]

@@joronasc was in space, couldn't separate them sadly they sticked together even after I used rockets or went on on distance and 12 s5 firing at me deleted me in seconds once I noticed that I have to tank some hits to even get to the hull Shot one for like 20s, was in the green circle and didn't even saw his shield drop not sure if lag, desync or if that green circle is inaccurate. I wanna go back to fighting fighters rather :D last time I did those it was mostly a hurricane, Valk, sabre or vanguard

[@joronasc]

@@llawlied6902 If you want fighters as enemies - do HRT contracts, they are mostly fighters. But even there you have sometimes a big ship as main target. Its a little bit strange sinze 3.23. But yeah dsync is problematic. I dont do BH contracts on a server with server fps < 5, thats no fun and hits often did not get count

[@messybestie-d7i]

It just occured to me why the flight doesnt always feel as realistic as Id like. When changing direction to follow a passing target, in real life a jet would have to roll towards the direction the target is moving and pitch up, whereas in Star Citizen you can just yaw in that direction just as quickly in most cases. Im wondering if lowering the overall yaw speed would help this, forcing players to roll and pitch more often.

[@joronasc]

roll - pitch does also is the best solution in SC ( i now really have to see my own video if i didnt do it there )

[@eltreum1]

Indeed. Yaw is now the worst turning speed typically and weapon aim assists are optimized for pitch correction more than yaw. Yaw fighting is a habit I'm trying to break too. People fixate on the lower speeds and forget they also changed all weapons to fire in a cone spread pattern. If you engage only at max weapon range over half your bullets miss smaller targets. The new rule of thumb is 50% max range is where optimal range ends and starts falling off to ~25% damage hitting. Use missiles at long range to soften and to agro targets to separate them and unload weapons closer to 400-600M max and you melt ships fast.

[@hiphopgrinch]

Pitch has always been stronger than yaw if I remember correctly. Now even more so.

[@HIGHL4NDER]

I was trying to show someone that was struggling, that it was still doable in a fighter. I took the F8 and for a laugh fitted all laser scatterguns... turns out they absolutely shred VHRT/ERT targets!

[@mackaule306]

How can I unlock VHRT missions?

[@Eriodas]

After doing lots of missions to get Reputation with the bounty hunters guild, you will get assigments that will authorize you to get more higher threat levels. This assigments are paid with a fee.

[@luna_rose__]

Great video and we'll spaced analysis/explanation comments; I'd be happier hearing a voice even if it's an AI generated thing to focus more on the visuals of combat though, that's just my opinion!

[@joronasc]

i made a test with AI generated voice - last video. Didnt worked well ;-). Maybe i will speak with my own voice - but be prepared for a german accent

[@alexwoods101]

Are you using a hotas or KB+M here

[@joronasc]

i do use HOSAS ( 2 joysticks and pedals ) but there are alot of people doing PVP ( and damn good, way better than i am ) with KB+M

[@alexwoods101]

@@joronasc awesome thanks. I think ESP is a little busted this update - i always seem to be over shooting

[@izraphailzero5610]

is that a Samsung G9?

[@joronasc]

Yep

[@RickRad09]

Why the music ?

[@joronasc]

why not?

[@Rorschach-test]

Despite the annoying music it was a good video 👍

[@joronasc]

thanks ;-)
