Battlefield 3 Premium eGuide Battlefields Air Superiority

Nebandan Flats

Taking place in the skies over the windmill farm of Nebandan Flats, Air Superiority combat pits two teams of fighter pilots against each other for control of three objectives in the form of white airships. Pilots should modify their loadout to make use of air radar and the fire extinguisher. The latter is essential to repair their aircraft, given the inability to land and make repairs during this game mode. The battle to control the skies of Nebandan Flats is as fierce as any, but one advantage to pilots here is the landscape. Many times during the battle, pilots may find themselves with a bogey on their six that they are unable to shake. Skilled pilots can fly low between the windmills here and either shake the tailing aircraft or even cause it to crash into the windmills. Aside from maintaining possession of control points, teams will also want to prevent deaths, as each redeployment strips their team of one ticket.
