Watch and Learn...maybe even ASK
Asking works pretty well. One reason NOT to be a "Dick" on 200 or PMing like a .... . A little time and taking mental notes of where was that guy before....look for same terrain...POOF, there he is. 250 lb bombs on Tanks and Wirbs, is how I have fun. Not everyone is good at it, so I practiced incessantly to get good at it. You arent gonna find a shut down Vehicle from 7k doing 350. So watch...learn their habits and get down dirty and look. SURE, Virgle and Tyfoo may get you in there flaks, maybe even Charger5 and 27TH main gun you, but EACH time they do..they give me more accurate information about WHY they are where they were. How on earth is it HT's fault that you fly over Wirbs during a Dog Fight? There is an OBVIOUS spawn point there(just like PT spawns on the water). The guy you are fighting loses advantage and screams toward the spawn....It doesnt take a genius to know "Hes got a wirb out there". Its your choice to follow..its simple SA. He runs to wirbs for the same EXACT reason you are chasing him...THE KILL/to survive. Back on my point... Myself and Virgle traded kills for about 2 hours a while back. He would kill me,I would bomb him...was some of the most fun I had in weeks. Noone got their feelings hurt, we JUST DID WHAT WE DO+Best Fun for 15 bucks EVER.
Its just like fishing and hunting...to be REALLY GOOD you have to pattern your prey..means days on end in the field and you being on top of your game in every way. If it was EASY it would lose its draw,IMO.
You may go home empty handed(or with your score dropping) but always something you can learn from....if you just understand you will never win unless you are willing to play the game.
