Actually, I try to fly each night from 10:00 PM to 00:00 AM. If my system is stable enough, I connect to discord, so anyone who wants to join can shout on discord in Flightschool. I'm only good at dogfighting Vanduuls. Still trying to learn some team tactics, but with no voice connected and no ingame chat it is each for him self.
Plus is that the enemy fire is divided over more players, Minus is that more and more players do crash on me while I'm waiting for the next wave.
The goal of the game is to reach and finish wave 18, so I tend to kill as fast as possible so much as possible Vanduuls, until there remainders can be mopped up easily.
I don't use auto target, unless I'm in the middle of a swarm. I pick my first target, start shooting at it, if I can't finish it in the first run then I switch to the next target behind the first one. That way I complete the first run while turning behind the Vanduuls. If somebody is shooting at my target, I will take another target, enough targets for everybody.
Strafe is a very good way to fly into a wave while avoiding fire, either strafe away from the fire avoiding it, or strafe into the fire together with up or down to make enemy fire contact as short as possible. Always keen your eye on the asteroids, they kill instantly.
My ship of choice to kill fast and close still is the Delta with 6 fixed repeaters, no rockets. If I must do supportive roles like wingman, I would need a more durable fighter like the Super Hornet or the Sabre.
This are in short my tactics. If anybody wants to join me, just check discord or contacts list and invite me. I will try to set a new date for a new fight night, but I heavily depend on my systems stability.
