Hi, I mostly play around BR 4.0 Air AB. AAB has a lot of dogfights and head-ons. Somehow I mostly get shot down in them immediatly no matter what weapons I use.
Are there any tricks to shoot the enemy down first when he comes right at you at about 1.5-0.5 km distance?

Dodge the head on by diving down for 100m or so. Don’t actually commit to the head on because then it’s just 50-50. Use it as a way to initiate a fight but then dodge the initial attack so you can get on their tails.
Unless you’re facing a plane like the 3.0 spitfires that lack any form of HMG/cannon

dodging down and to one side is idea
while shooting in the headon your plane should already be rolled to one side in preparation for dodging the headon
it usually doesnt matter which side but i have always dodged to the right

You don't! You avoid them
At least if you're not into gambling
However, if you're into that kind games, you spray and pray

^ definitely not that
a good headon game is crucial for props
the meta rn is to get kills as quickly as possible
so you dont need to rely on your team
and headons are rly good for that

Do we really have this discution?
There is no skill needed for a head on
Maby some ballistics knowledge
(If you have higher velocity guns you are slightly more likely to win)

Headons can be great ways of getting kills if you do so in an advantageous way
Doubly so when using stealth belts and for planes you be otherwise unable to kill
Knowing when to dodge, shoot and how to do those does take skill

yeah, 262 players can be very dangerous in headons

Not really, it has slow velocity guns
As I specified previously, if you have higher velocity guns, you are more likely to win a head on

Headons are the fastest way, and sometimes the only / best chance to take someone down
Now i am not saying that you should deliberatly push and force andy chance for a headon you have
However, you very much SHOULD take headons, just know when, and how.

no it's true, there is no skill needed for headons. just skill for actually making the strat effective. (effective meaning you survive perfectly fine)
