okay was just goin to post old score rank tips but some things have changed.
Disclaimer most of this is boring and not exactly alot of fun. but if its rank you want here goes.
Bombing
Do's
1. Use 1k or bigger bombs I would fly high as there is no time per in bomber cat#.
2. Bomb city strats and radar for highest hit % and damage per sortie
3. You want bigger hit% use ju87 1800kg bomb and hit strat where big cluster of targets near.
4. to even increase damage to deaths or sorties land rearm your ju87 go again repeat over and over.
5. Speed is secret to calibration. B24 under 10k should be 210mph 20k 200 mph 30 k 180 mph indicated. I always climb until ready to calibrate then i do a slight dive to i get close to these speeds then level calibrate 10 to 20 secs. I can hit vh hanger from 30k 1 bomb st8 on top of hanger.
Don'ts
1. Don't bomb gvs in bomber mode. kills your hit % and gv kills in bomber worthless.
2. don't carpet bomb see rule 5 above
3. killing cv is better than it use to be but it does lower hit% less then hitting strat. I personally like 8k and salvo 2 led it 3/4 length get it just about every time. and get to land. you will usually lose bomber to cap or 5" and if whels and some others in 5" kiss all 3 goodbye.
4. killing strats at bases this really hurts you but helps team.
5. using 100lb bombs worst thing for hit% . hit% is just hitting near a building with 1ks without killing it. thats why you kill 8 buildings 1 bomb but hit is 1500%
ATTACK
Do's
1. always be in attack mode if your defending against gvs or killing towns.
2. I like using attack mode set as default for all planes. this help when your trying to defend base getting up barely or not at all with your k/d in fighter mode.
3. Use ju87 1800 kg bomb hit starts for great hit % see rules 3-4 in bombing do's
4. to really increase your hit % with guns bomb strat with ju87 18ookg land slowly drive close to building fire 954 rounds into building when building blows taxi to another empty ammo into it take off and rearm repeat. ( use to be you could shoot dead buildings before but this has changed it must be up) ps city strats have 50 cals and u must not taxi near train resupplies tracks trains now have 50 cal aaa.
5. if you like u can also bomb just trains 1 1800kg bomb destroys entire train and 50 cals and gives you a 1200% hit =12 targets 1 bomb
6. using il2 use guns only on gvs will protect bomb Hit % osti's easy if you fly st8 over them then dive st8 down on top firing. guns on osti can't go 90 degrees.
Attack don'ts
bombing single target is great for team but lowers hit %
GV's
D0's
1. driving gv to a strat best way to increase hit% and damage per sortie. I like osti and make sure you use hull gun too this increases hit % avg building takes exactly 20 hits from osti count shots and you get more buildings. and if in squad ask squaddie to bring u a supply.
2. Camping helps a lot but if defending a base Remember to put supplies out, if possible. when defending a base use tiger if gvs if bombers tough call.
3. this i hate but a lot seem to do it LTARS lol spawn osti stay at spawn kill planes trying to kill you. some ltars drop supplies and stay near spawn. after then kill ord
4. tt fastest way to get k/d and kills per hour up fast. get right spot u can kill 20 to 30 guys before they get you.
5 take pt to a strat on water or to town you can spawn to fire rockets hit building don't use rockets or torp again.also killing resupply barges works
GV don'ts
1. attack bases with tanks usually a death. to easy to knock out panzer's turret with hurri or il2 if you want t34 harder to disable when ord dead.
2. tring to break spawn campers Now exception is when its single gv in back hanger or near at vh base t34 usually gets him first try unless its tiger.
3. Resupplying strats great for team not hot for score. BUT fastest way to earn perks for tigers is to resupply a dead strat. usually its 100perks to fully resupply strat4 to 5 trips, this hurts your damage to death and kills per sortie.
Remember these are tips for score not fun
Fighter
Do's
1. WINGMAN
2. ALT
3. E
4. advantage
5. never chase what you can't catch, if hes already running no matter what you say on 200 he's not going to turn.
6. If at disadvantage and you can disengage then do so.
7. good way to increase kills per hr is defense at cv or noe missions
8. don't waste ammo on cons over 600yds or more out this hurts hit%i like to wait until 300 or less before firing.
9.Always take right plane for situation your going into.
10.and biggest help Go to DA with Morpheus, Shane, Levi, and some others learn acm's well from others willing to teach you the ropes.
Fighter don'ts
1. shooting anything but another fighter or bomber really hurts hit%IE ack.hangers,gvs town and so on...
2. don't up from vulch field in fighter mode if you want to up change to attack mode
3. NEVER come up a bomber formations 6 try high 10 to 4 or 2 to 7 attack works great for me. lancs and b26's no bottom gunner so low vertical works to. And always go for main bomber first this is one with icon over it. when it goes takes second or two for pilot to eject to another bomber.
4. never kill gvs in fighter mode or pt's.
5. Remember bail is better than death and ditch works better to.
6. Watch out for p40's hurri's usually its very good pilot in those planes.
7. Ho'ing not great way to increase k/d ot hit %.............
okay I might have forgot somethings but these will give you idea. Trust me been number 1 overall in every cat one time or another and number1 overall. It is not as much fun as grabbing a hurri or la5 in furballs. or is it as fun as killing vh's and ack at vh bases for someone else to capture base. Last tod i think Ramul had at least 5 or 6 base captures by going with me in my bombers. I* do enjoy killing cvs and ord with high alt bombers. and with no defense can kill towns with 1 set b17's or b24;s. this is fun score is work and little boring. But With low rank you can tick off alot of people. turning cv as squad-mates or friends try to land or take off is fun. Also on reset day wednesdays you can take hidden cv's put them into action and get 20 to 30 guys moaning your idiot or trader, Because they don't think first that its reset day hiding cv makes no sense then.
Remember its a game have fun any way you choose la7 spit dive bombing whatever makes YOU happy. Life is too short to worry what others say.
Good luck have fun.
