How to properly Boom and Zoom
By Cryrex
Alright first off, get to know your plane, get comfortable with it, especially up in higher tiers as a F2P, you will be grinding with a plane for a long time. Learn it's pros and cons, learn it's max speed, etc.

You need to especially know what your plane's max speed before it's wings rip is otherwise, self-explanitory, you'll rip your wings if you dont know when to lower your speed.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


First of all, you can't B & Z a player who is at the same altitude as you, so you should be a good few thousand feet above them, and also try to make sure to make sure they're not facing you. Go down somewhat cautiously, watch your back. Watch your speed making sure you slow down or cut throttle entirely if you get near it or you know you will get near it. Line up your crosshair quickly as you will most likely going a lot faster than them, aim and open fire, hopefully killing or critically wounding the enemy. Once you have nearly passed the enemy, go up into a near straight vertical climb, using all of the energy you got from the dive to climb and gain back altitude. Then rinse and repeat.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things NOT to do.
1. Go above max speed. (sometimes you can finesse it and not break your wings, but i do not advise it.)\
2. B & Z a player who has another friendly player only a little behind his tail. (This will lead to you most likely being killed or critically wounded when you dive straight back up, losing that much energy makes you an easy target for a few seconds before you outrun them)

SUPER IMPORTANT READ BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR PLANE, DO NOT USE YOUR PLANE FOR SOMETHING IT IS NOT MEANT FOR. MOST FIGHTERS ARE B & Z BUT NOT ALL ARE. MAKE SURE TO RESEARCH YOUR PLANE AND FIGURE OUT IT'S DESIGNATED FIELD.
