Some things that I want to add: The build I used, even if it's a standard build, hurts roll rate due to Reinforced Airframe being present. The roll technique I'm using was a adaptation from learning to fly heavies, specially the low roll rate ones require constant vigilance to keep them in a stable position to manoeuvre fast. One thing that it's not noticeable because it's a replay, but I use manual flaps, you can see it if you look close enough to notice that sometimes the flaps don't retract on situations were automatic flaps would retract. That AAA kill at 3:30 set up the fight with the Me 262 a minute later, if the gun was there I would probably not have been able to kill the 262 due to AAA targeting the lowest health target. And I'm using some very weird keyboard bindings, spacebar to pitch up, Q and E to roll, A and D to yaw, W to boost, S to air break and F to open flaps are the most important ones imo.
Thanks for the insight on your setup and on the AAA, not many players know that! I also use manual flaps, and have them slaved to Control. I don't use air break anymore though I probably should have it bound somewhere just in case.
Wow, nice stuff! Pedro is a dude, I’ve seen him out there a number of times. Gabreski.. so hard to get. I got one early in my career (around August ‘22) in my XP-44 unspecialized and I still have no idea what I did😂 Never gotten once since and don’t plan on really focusing on it. By the time the final step came for Vampire I had 60 tokens ready and so, done👍🏻 The key seems to be, for most of these achievements: Be very productive, and don’t die.. oh and win too😆 Who can guarantee that stuff? It’s nice if it comes together but I’m happier when I can just fly the plane I like and whatever happens happens and, hey this is a super fun game even if my team doesn’t win. That’s where I’m at now (2yrs in). Felicidades Pedro! o>
Same. I get them when I have zero attention on getting medals. Try for it during a grind and I have to play 7 battles during the off times to get one. LOL.
Watched this clip yesterday, booted up WoW and ran into Pedro flying this exact plane,. I got him 2 times, he got me 3 times. With those tilts he communicates what he's about to do, and it gives it away. He tilts one way, you tilt the other way. I don't remember what I was flying. Might've been a P-80A (but that's not me in the video, I wasn't in that match). It was possible to sneak up on Pedro and get him when he wasn't watching, but once he knew you were there - watch out. I build all of my planes, for turn-fighting, but as a result, I sacrifice too much speed and can't chase after people. If they figure it out, they keep distance and fire at me from long range. For speed I have XF-90, I-260 and I-215. Dornier 335 can be good at keeping speed at high altitude and firing out of range of most bombers with the cannon, but a total rock paper scissors plane against fighters. Can either rule or suck, depending on the enemy lineup. It has to own high altitude and have nothing that can outturn it at 3000m. XP-67 I do not have, and when I encounter it, I lose more than I win, though in a turn fight, I can always take it down. The enemy simply has to take the bait and bleed the energy off.
👍nice Gabreski congratulations , I think I saw Pedro on NA, I'm not sure, but in any case I'll keep an eye out for him
Excellent work, Pedro!

I have the same problem with flaps all the time , not reliable often before the dogfight I turned them on first
@@majorpain_26- sound like a skill issue.
@@ericphillips4952 sounds like you've never used the flaps manually
@@majorpain_26 lol, wrong.

I have 2 of them but I couldn't tell you when or where I got one! I used Tokens on the Vampire as well!
Wow.

@@enilenis XP-67 is a tough out, but the P-80 is a good plane to face it in. I mostly do speed builds because I try to aggressively cap sectors. 😄
