What to do if a enemy with the same plane chases you ?

[Spacehunter662]

Hello, I've been playing warthunder with Germany for 5 days now (and no other country so far).
My biggest problem is i always get attacked by an enemy and cant get rid of him. Often they are the same country as I am. Any tips to avoid this or manuever/tactics to evade the enemy plane ?

If its arcade battle, usually only viable tactic to lose tail regardless of whos chasing is rush into the biggest group of allies. imagine like those fish that travel in big groups, try not to separate from the group that way theres better chance someone will go after your tail.

Yes I'm afraid thats your real option in Arcade

The enemy being in the same aircraft actually makes things quite simple. Did he dive at you or climb to meet you? If he's dived, he'll be going faster, so try slowing down while dodging around, and hopefully he'll overshoot, allowing you to get a few shots in from behind. If he's had to climb up to get you, try diving away - a second or so will give you enough of a lead to be out of his range.

from what I've seen and experienced, its practically impossible to lose a tail without help in AB mode unless you're faster and just outrun him. turns, dives, immelmen, or whatever, it doesn't work. they can easily mirror and follow you regardless if you're both zeros or you're in zero and hes in a stuka

Cut your throttle right back then bank left or right wait of them to pass you then throttle back up and chase them (note doesnt work against british planes like the spitfire) my favourite is the rock the plane while in a climb then cut throttle to zero and stall then nose drive full throttle towards the floor pull up and find allies.

This ! And when throttling down do a barrel role cuz it takes so much speed away that almost every1 is over turning you .

Not really. Differences r smaller in arcade.. but they r still there.
Some things dont rly work out... but not all.

And if a zero cant handle a stuka.. well then its because of the pilot and not the plane.

@OP: Look on youtube for some vids that give tips

When I say from experience isn't just me getting shot down, but also from the other side. Ive been able to keep tailing and even win in turn wars in my BB1 and pe3-ibis against "agile" planes like hurricanes, p36, and F4F with no help. Repeatedly. Im not even a good pilot either i usually score average 4-5 kills and some of the guys i shoot down have scored like 10 or 12 kills. this is AB im talking about, im sure its completely different in the other modes.

Whats even more sad and pathetic is that sometimes i've been able to chase ppl all the way back into their spawn area and most the time their team doesn't bother helping.

very well put .

Well, on arcade, it's a nightmare and you have to outplay and outmanouver your oponent, (which is quite hard) just try using your plane best advantatges while tying to do scissors or slow down to see if he overshoots you

If any of you, and I mean ANY has problems shaking someone down when you are in a zero then I must say you are completelly garbage because whenever I play with my zeros, and even spits, I manage to shake down ANYONE on my tail or from any other perspective

why do you think there are so few of them in AB then? every plane in AB is a superplane, only difference is how much punishment they can take. zeros are down from a couple 7mm rounds, shatter like glass from larger calibers.

you still lose because any time you crash on purpose, some random fruitcake on other team always gets the credit even if you crashed on some remote corner of the map and guy was nowhere near you.
