If youre just bothered at a swarm of ground pounders interrupting your infantry go, flying head long into a swarm alone almost never works out. Your main goal shouldn't be to rack up a KDR (Win > Kill, generally) So rather than take on try hard pilots as a Plan A, try "Diplomacy" first, and CONVINCE them to simply leave. ESFs hate: Lockons (Annoying, but most dont mind tanking a hit or two. Theyll take some repair time at least). Unguideds (A well placed/lucky dumb fire rocket or Lancer will definitely make any Attacker think twice about hanging around or coming close again. ESPECIALLY true for Decimators. ) Top Guns (Top mounts are annoying for sure- Double for the Walker. Alone, you might just piss off a good enough pilot, but most ESFs will take the hint and get out of your way, rather than deal with an armored up hussy. No ESF enjoys sitting around taking machine gun fire all day, especially from an entire armor column) Skyguards (Well named, will clear a sky of even a of horde of ESFs quickly, alone. Its very situational that a horde or loner will contest a skyguard, but at the very least, they'll piss off and come up with plan to deal with you later.) Burster Maxes (As a Career pilot, a Burster is the greatest annoyance. They can hide easily, are more readily and easily repaired, and usually come in Flak armor. All these things combined mean that the ESF will either severely limit there flight zones or need to focus you (easily coutnered with an engineer and good runaway space)) Again, don't focus on killing them, necessarily, but just make killing you not worth it.
Really well explained :D Should help unexperienced pilots. Hope a few more people start flying because since veteran pilots left (espicially since CAI) it's a bit empty in the sky lately. You gave lot's of time in the information. Would add that or I do recommand to do not use Coyotes or Lock-Ons because this won't increase their aim or generel experience. It will just slow down their progress.
I love people who play smart always. They strategize to get easy wins not like no brainers where they just jump into the fight.
saw (and felt) you playing some smg infill in preparation for your next video:)
even tho I have played many hours your videos always give something new. I never knew the Valk had directional armor, would explain a lot!
