winterwolves Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This is a long running thing, but thought I would point it out anyway. In air combat your craft always set an intercept course for the enemy, which does not always put the enemy in the fire arc of the guns when you are up close.

Matthew Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's not really a bug, it's the way it works. The calculation of the flight route is complicated, the direction and the speed of the ufo and your craft determines it. They try their best. But in other video games (like battlefield) turning to the other plane is not smooth it's out of sight for a few seconds too.

mrsisk Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 And learning to use the afterburners (switching them on or off as needed) and doing rolls can help. That actually makes the F17s better in some cases than the MIG...they can sometimes get close enough for their guns to work but too close for the UFO to shoot you...or so it seems.
