Kiasar Railroad

Unlike other maps, Air Superiority over Kiasar Railroad offers few advantages for pilots. Teams should prioritize their loadouts to include fire extinguishers and air radar. The objectives are suspended above the lake, except for Objective A, which is above the foot of the mountain range. Combat will see enemies attempting to stay on a plane’s six. If the enemy begins to tail, planes can be brought in low and skim across the lake. Less experienced pilots may follow and crash into the water or the lakeshore, as they are unable to pull up in time. Teams should maintain contact with one another and fly in formation. This tactic offers even unexperienced pilots a fighting chance here, as their wingmen can attract the fire of enemy fighters while one of the squadron moves in to claim the objectives. When attempting to shake enemy fighters, use hard banks and air brakes to break their weapon locks. Outflying and outwitting the enemy is the name of the game.
