Fighter Groupfight Tutorial

After quite a bit of requests from people getting into snubs, with the help of @Karst I present you the snub groupfight tutorial. We covered basic concepts of how a groupfight works and didn't go too much into detail in regards to some advanced techniques, so those who are already aware of how snub pvp works probably know everything mentioned here. This is primarily made for players who just got into snub combat or are willing to improve further. Even if you find just a tip or two useful it means the tutorial did its job.

Things not mentioned in the video:

-Aux slots: Maxim chaingun and sidewinder/paralyzer are better than other slots. Maxim still forces you to have a good aim to an extent and use a 750m/s loadout so it's situational, but the 2 missiles are great for everyone struggling with aim, especially the paralyzer. Mini razor, cannonball and firestalker are not recommended.

-U turn: I made a small error when I said to only do it when you're running out of thrust. This is correct, but you also want to make a U turn when someone's too close and you're taking heavy damage. Basically 2 scenarios - whenever someone's too close or when your thruster is out.

-When there's a lot of people shooting 1 target you will start bumping each other and hindering your movement. In order to prevent that, try EKing parallel to your target's movement and not fly directly at it, or strafe away from the target. For example if the target is a bit to the left, hold the D key to strafe to the right and avoid bumping allies who will most likely be at the center.


If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Don't be hesitant to give feedback or mention if I missed anything.
