Engage in Dogfights and Combat

Preparing for Combat

1. Ensure your helicopter has weapons equipped (rockets or missiles)

2. Check your missile safety status—press R to toggle it on or off

3. Verify your health bar shows full structural integrity

4. Locate your target helicopter

Combat Tactics

Use the crosshair on your HUD to aim at enemy helicopters. Lead your shots against moving targets—AI helicopters use predictive aiming, so expect them to do the same. Maintain altitude advantage and use evasive maneuvers to avoid incoming fire.

Using Your Fleet

If you have AI companions, they will automatically engage enemies alongside you. Position your fleet to surround opponents and maximize firepower. Coordinate your attacks for better results.

Builder Mode Alternative

If you want to fly without risk of accidental weapon discharge, double-tap R to enter Builder Mode. This disables all weapons, letting you explore and build from the air safely. Toggle it off when you're ready for combat.
