you should start a mini series where people send in clips of fights. this was a really interesting watch/analysis of basic mechanics

Alright Summit, you got your personalized A1 training video. Go get 'em tiger!

Regarding orientation - you can enable precision lines (via keybind only atm) and they will be two lines around the pip, vertical to the enemy plane of orientation. As long as you are keeping those at I O I you are rolling correctly with your target.

Summit doing 15 hour SC streams is awesome to see. He sees the vision.

A1, this is one of the most useful videos that you have ever posted, all because you have taken an approach for beginners using a beginners fight to explain things that we beginners keep doing, don't see or realize. Thanks a lot.

Summit got his own PVP 101 video XD hopefully someone puts this in front of him! He could learn a lot really quickly. The video is actually really good for ANY beginner to SC Ship PVP. Great video A1!

Holyshit I make every single mistake he made in this video. Thank you for pointing them out and giving the solutions!!

One thing that really helped me was switching to lag pips. Lag pips force you to look at your opponent which makes predicting their movements easier.

Even as a HOSAS player, these tips are invaluable. Got clowned on earlier and seeing this video made me realize I made a lot of these same mistakes.

Thank god, as a mouse/keyboard pilot, these tips are SUUUUUPER helpful. Been struggling to translate stick advice to keyboard habits. I'll eventually get sticks, but money is short and prices are not. Til then, this will help sooo much, thanks A1, you're an amazing teacher!

This is the most helpful video that's easy for me to understand that you've made so far. Thank you I hope we see more of these types of feedback videos.

This breakdown analysis is priceless. Thank you very much for taking the time to show/explain/critique.

Definitely saving this video for later to practice. I'm not planning on seeking out much pvp, but knowing combat basic is going to be invaluable because sometimes, the pvp comes to me. This breakdown of a situation is amazing to watch and study!

Watched this video and now i feel more encouraged to get into PvP. I took some of the fundamentals and went into some AC today and i managed to get some kills. Feels good man

What a brilliant idea; 👏. 3 min in and already loving it

Been thinking about buying SC, this was a huge help on understanding what's going on in the spaceship. Thanks!

Omg I’ve always watched your videos but never really understood. Your explanation along with the graphics in this video was amazing. I finally understand. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for this video, it´s very needed more than ever in SC!

Lots of information gold in this video. The very basics are clearly explained!

Those animations are looking great! Im finally getting into space combat and these vids are a big help.

Very well explained, makes a lot of sense. Thank you for these videos, more like these please.

Great video, really helped seeing how to implement the basics!!

Just stumbled over this and this is so much more helpful - especially for new players - than any other MM-video I saw out there. Great job. Greets from "10 xp.". ;)

You Sir are what ive been looking for in a combat vid! im glad i found this! thank you thank you

Thanks so much for this info..been frustrated with ship combat in this game because I didn't understand fundamentals and got too frustrated..really answered a lot of questions.

So this video has me thinking about switching my right stick to x axis and roll like a traditional flight sim.

Excellent breakdown and description, so helpful, you should do these regularly to all levels

Love this type of tutorial, taught me loads about my own flying.

Just a thought that might help. I have the hardest time relating "Q" and "E" to roll or in my case LEAN in FPS... so I bought these 2 individual USB foot switches. Then I super-giued their little feet to the insides of my desk so I can lean and hit it with my right or left knee to LEAN or ROLL in his case.. just a thought that may help mouse and keyboard pilots. o7

I’ve been watching for a few months now since I got the game. The last four days I’ve gone into arena Commander and learned a tremendous amount from you’re input. Rolling onto targets, range, dropping behind you’re target in transitions (not great yet) Just want to say thank you for extending even fine details of knowledge into you’re content. Your greatly appreciated Avenger One!

This is incredible, valuable information. Thank you. I am now subbed.

This was great, would love to see more talk throughs like this

Good explanation on the frustration with not being able to close on target. I was doing exactly this because I subconsciously try to slot myself in on their tail at the same time as trying to shoot the guy in positions like that... instead of just nosing to shooting the guy.

This was insanely helpful! What a great video! Now I understand why I lose all of my dogfights.

VERY GOOD VID. Great step by step tips. I just need to develop coordination and situational awareness to apply it. I also noticed and remembered something important at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="300">5:00</a> into the video. His lead pip is not on the target but he is hitting it in the animation. I thought oh star citizen is miscalculating pips again but then i thought about it and figured it out. PIPs in both aircraft and star citizen CAN'T KNOW WHERE TO AIM because the bullet will hit in the future and the aircraft can do any maneuver between now and the future. Therefore they make the assumption the enemy will travel in a straight line. With this assumption, placing cross hairs on the pip would have hit if the enemy was traveling in a straight line. Our enemy in this example is following a curved path so that's why the bullets are hitting with cross hairs shifted towards the center of the turn. You have shifted your aim because you assume he will continue his turn between now and when the bullet gets in range for possible impact. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Questions: 1. Gsafe off 100% of the time? 2. Decoupled unless it would kill you e.g. asteroid or near the surface? 3.

This legit helped me understand angles better than anyone els you’re a freaking GOAT!!

I love seeing your name pop up in the PU Avenger One! Thank you for the tips for pvp!!

Great presentation, thanks!

Amazing video! Especially the animation on <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="300">5:00</a> Thank you!

Great vid, should do one for atmos fight as well.

As someone who is interested in getting into PvP in this game this was a fantastic video. Gave lots of great information and I was able to notice things I was doing wrong/right when dogfighting.

Always quality advice and explanations, Thank you Avenger one

Very cool of you doing this.

Nicely explained. It makes sense now. Thank you!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1461">24:21</a> "cranking way too much on their joystick" 🤣

Really good breakdown! Are there some pointers to understanding the direction or angle of your target - orientation (especially when it changes)?

Sooooo glad I mastered flight fundamentals in DCS. Good vid A1

I like the subtle quiet Dradis sound from Battlestar Galactica repeating in the background music lol

Can we get more of these, analyzing players at different skill levels, from earliest noob up to pro?

You can do it Summit we believe in you

I am thrilled about the MM ❤️ Love this (also the wine)

good bideo helped me clarify some fundamentals

Been a long time ED player, long time SC lurker, but this video gave me a great deal of appreciation for the nuances of this game's flight model and combat. You explain and visualise the situation and tips very clearly. Great work to you, and good luck to Summit!

I learned from this, thanks!

Dude this analysis is brillant. Thanks

Excellent video. Thank you very much.

That 3d animation _really_ helped understanding what you mean. Fantastic, as usual A1. My gratitude surpasses these mere words.

Thank you so much for this video. I know you made specialized videos going into detail, but this alone made me actually enjoy combat in MM's now, when before I was really feeling like combat was ruined for me because it felt impossible to apply damage and dodge incoming fire. Was not aware of the Optimal Range/Falloff and about the vertical strafing, etc. (Was essentially making the same mistakes as Summit) Just had a blast in Arena Commander and combat was actual FUN now. Thanks so much, you saved the fun in combat for me!

Very good commentary. I think this is very helpful!

Really informing for new players like my self, i had no clue of this at all thanks alot.......

Thank you for videos like this

This is great! I need to watch something like this but focused on joysticks. Also a tutorial on how to stay in a bigger ship's blindspot.

Great tips. These fundamentals are really key.

Amazing video. Learned so much !

Good job!

WOW great Video and excellent advice.

Many of us don't even have proper instruction IRL, for what we're doing wrong and right!

Avenger1, that graphic was VERY high quality. Great work, thank you!!

Never really realized that shooting in yaw was one of my main issues. Trying to now to make shooting with pitch my default.

Been playing the game awhile now on an off, only done a fair bit of pvp and not much mm... guy def got the best of me, good on him for only playing the game for a week. Def learned quite a bit I never knew just in this 30min video, appreciate the insight, time to get some more practice in!

thank you

Great informative video

why <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1655">27:35</a> is overinput, anyone could explain please? he didnt even roll needed amount to track direction of enemy

Is bullet spread at distance any different between laser cannons and repeaters?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="300">5:00</a> I assume this would also be a good reason for using the lagging reticle vs the leading reticle?

I fly the connie quite a bit and my focus is keeping the ship in a position that allows my turret gunners to constantly pepper the target.

This is the 3.23 video I’ve been waiting for.. I’ve steered clear of MM during 3.23 testing because it has clearly been all over the place with feedback and changes. Now this is the guide from one of the top pilots in the verse on how to get the best out of it this patch, warts and all. Appreciate you A1, it is undoubtedly tough for pilots like you who mastered the old model, hopefully your feedback and others will help MM slowly configure and update into a mature model that genuinely enhances what we had long term.

Great training A1. Please do more of these. Hopefully he sees this and you can do a follow up to see his progress.

I think I learned more about Star Citizen combat in this video than I have in years of playing the game. Then again, I am usually a cargo pilot but still, this is a great video.

Now that's a good training video !

I didn’t realize the cone of dmg and the drop off. I was wondering why it was taking forever to get kills. Thanks for the tips!

I hit the subscibed button already, i watch your 10v1 dogfight and this video maaan your crazy.

That is a perfect way to explain it lol ''You owe SC at least 10,000 deaths''

A1- what would you recommend technique wise for pvp dogfights for fighters with manned turrets? (Scorp, redeemer, hurricane, etcetera)

Such an amazing video. i keep watching over and over again... For the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1320">22:00</a> min area, talking about mouse V-Joy. what's a good setting here? I can't seem to figure this out in my settings at all and its driving me nuts. I overshoot, I feel like it's hard to stay on target at times too. My biggest hurdle too is once I'm in a pretty consistent dog fight and staying with them, is I feel like I'm constantly being out maneuvered and don't know how to prevent that. F7AII here and I'm still losing often LOL

A1, is manual weapon convergence a way to get a little more effective range out of your aimcone weapons ?

Is there no way to default g safe off in menus anymore? I don't see the option anymore

what about cannons, or ballistic guns with 1100 speed, is it always 500 meters, max 700?

Great video! I would love to know what game settings, sensitivities, keybinds, pre-flight setups etc your MKB teammates are using! (Maybe a video?^^) Thank you!

Roll Aim is interesting. Coming from traditional ww2 Sims, I have been flying with roll on X and yaw on pedals. People kept telling me this is BS in space, so I am retraining although it is very hard to relearn 10.000s of hours of muscle memory. The concept of roll Aim directly translates from warbirds, so with MM it seems like I can keep roll on my stick and just go with the precision I have already built playing like this.

Great video

Thanks for that breakdown and the detail (more importantly reasoning) behind WHY recommended actions work better. The M+KB hint of tapping to prevent overinput was actually a bruh moment for me. A past wrist injury means I cant use the sticks I do have for more than 10-15mins without it becoming agony (cost aint always the reason people use mkb folks). I'm beating off some of the post spanking depression by lowflying around canyons or stations, just to help with that feel and naturalisation of ship behaviour under various and multiple inputs for that sweet sweet seratonin.

Thanks for the video! This was really helpful and i'll be trying this out. Would you recommend flying in decoulpled all the time? Or just during fights? What about racing?

how do you get games for 1v1 master modes. i never manage to matchmake anyone

Thank you ! very useful for new gamer ! what do you think of gimbal ? I know it decreases DPS but isn't it compensated by higher number of hits ?

Just finished watching. Excellent points 👍 I'm on hotas and I'm now considering switching my stick x-axis from yaw to roll. Thoughts?

I've been flying keyboard+mouse for a long time and the biggest difference I ever felt from a piece of equipment was foot pedals for roll. Instead of Q+E providing 100% input you can meter your roll to stay on target and not over-roll.

how do i know how much effective damage im doing with other sized/type of weapons? 500 is too close for the larger less maneueverable ships

Hearing the dradis noise in the background is a trip
