The aerial warfare MMO World of Warplanes now gives rookie pilots tips on how to shake off those pesky pursuers.
In the movies, it all looks so easy! You have an enemy fighter on your tail, and then it crashes into the next mountain without any interference, flies into the machine-gun fire of a wingman, or somehow takes itself out. In Wargaming’s “World of Warplanes,” such things happen rarely; you have to shake them off yourself. But those guys know all the tricks.
To give newcomers tips on how to best manage shaking off a pursuer, Wargaming has started a series of video guides—a kind of flight school. The first video covers the Canopy Roll, a spiral evasive maneuver.
