all basic common sense (too me) line up and shoot and for moving stuff shoot were there going be not stright at them shoot even more in front of the if you or they are lagging (delay in movement) even a 10 year old knows this :/
No-doubt on that one... In BC2, they governed the turret traverse speed so you can no longer throw the gun barrel as fast. I suspect that BF3 will be similar... but throwing should still be possible... just cant do the real fast crazy ass throws I did in bf2. I've seen some BF3 previews with jet play... doesn't look too different on their speed.
yesterday i watched your tutorial vids and decided to use them in cod4. on the map countdown which is a big map, i shot a heli as it was about to enter the map from across the map. i was kinda surprised. later on that night i took down 2 moving helis with ease.
this type of extra intelligence in a game has opened my eyes to a whole new type of gameplay. i cant wait for bf3 comes out so i can do the same that you and many other people probably do. you sir have inspired me
Thank you! That means a lot to me. I find myself counting the days for BF3 to come out as well.
I think the hardest part about doing this is learning how to block your cognitive processes... or in other words NOT aiming or overthinking the shot... which is something I found is MUCH easier said than done. Just taking the shot before I had time to think about it seemed to work the best.

I usually dragshot while playing as a Sniper, and although engy is my favourite class, I've never thought about applying dragshooting to tanks.
After watching your mind-blowing tutorial, I got online BFBC2 and I'm now hitting my shots on choppers far more consistently from mid-to-long range. Before (without dragshooting), I would miss low-flying choppers flying only 50 meters ahead of me.
Thanks for the tutorial; I can't wait to see your jet-eye footage for BF3!
Thanks for the great comment!... If you know Sarciss, he was one of the best dragshot snipers I know. I got him going on this, and when he went back to sniping his shot was all screwed up... hehe... just so you know.
I have noticed in BC2 that turret traversing is far more "mechanical" (steady speed... won't accellerate) so it's harder to sinc with the brain. I sincerely hope that BF3 is more realistic on tank controls like BF2 was.
@Safrguns my man.... I recommend this movie to EVERYONE i find worthy xD I'm surprised you haven't had requests yet! I apply all your information to my drag sniping (and of course whilst in the tank) and it just. works. beast! ty for the great vids :) keep it up!

Thanks man! I'm finally feeling confident about these shots. I got 2 jets today plus countless choppers and one guy accused me of hacking. Ur right, they don't notice the shots that miss. They only notice the shots that killed them. If he could see my gameplay in a whole round, he'll notice that i miss more than a 100 shots -.-
Me and my brothers play BF2 every time we see a jet/heli we all fire everything we got join us don't be scared fire back!!! (we are four guys playing)
and damn, i hate it when the heli/jet dosent explode when i actually hit em. after the shot i'll go ''cmon...hit hit hit...YES!'' *no explosion* ''WTF!!!! NO KILL?!''
@Safrguns i used a translator so the words didnt come out like i wanted. Ill try again without translator: Its got alot to do with 3dimensional thinking and that is ability u have or dont have.
@Safrguns Hey man little question: I have Jet vs Tank server but 90 procent of times when the tank actually hits the jet, the jet doesnt explode ... you have any idea why? does that happen to you sometimes too, that, when you hit a jet, he doesnt die?
Happens less now in version 1.5, but you need to see the ending of part 2.
That is where I cover this issue.
We refer to it as a hit register failure..... or lag miss. Server just fails to detect the same connection that you do. I have video of this happening with a tank shell to the chest of a stationary grunt. I explain how to deal with it at end of part 2.
The opportunities I have in any given game to shoot at jets depends a lot upon the number of players, and the skill level of the pilots. However, 1 out of every 20 rounds I throw at a jet on average will get a kill. If they fly straight at me under my elevation limit, the odds increase to 1 in 5. The most jets I remember landing in a single round was between 10-20 (300 tickets) . In most 300 ticket rounds, I can land at least 3-5 jet kills... but sometimes I get none.
I have over 1700 ranked hours. probably 3x times that unranked (pre-game), and I always practice because I'm always shooting at everything. But I was taking down choppers and jets with as little as 300 hours. With serious effort and careful study of the tutorial, I would say that most anyone could develop this skill in half that time. When I made my first video (Safrguns Revenge), my jet hit/miss ratio was about 1 in 40. (now at 1:20)
Yes, i tried to train in bf2 demo too but its a bit hard to get skill there...
i think oman and highway tampa are the most usefull maps to train. But maybe i should not wait the full round for THE kill, so better shoot more times and dont think!
Just the other night, I had someone hop on to my tank to gun, just so he could observe... I had a chopper right in front of my face and couldn't hit him to save my life... 5 flipping rounds at less than 100 meters, and he got away... so embarrassing. Point being, it is more of a matter of learning how to eliminate the things that make us try too hard, rather than gaining a skill that makes the kills possible. The harder you try, the more you miss.
Your Videos are very interesting and help to get better in tank.
i am a chopper guy but i am interested in tank so i watched your vids. The biggest problem in training is , that i dont find many servers on that i can train without getting killed all the time... 5*
When I was training, I would spend a LOT of time in pre-game servers... (less than 6 players), and train while I was waiting for a game to start. There was usually plenty of 1 on 1 tank vs chopper opportunities. And, when not, I would train on the stationary targets. Pre-game was often more fun than an actual game.
Hehe, it's just that all too often I see players with a fraction of your skills continuously bragging and bloating their achievements. All of this "I iz teh l33t" gets to be annoying.
@NsFZen The intro music is the US mapload theme from the BF2 CD. You will hear it when connecting to a server running AF maps like Road Rage and Operation Harvest.
Yes. Not only in 1.0, but you do this in any other game for that matter. The difference between BF2 1.0-1.4, and version 1.5 is that they have greatly improved the hitreg detection in 1.5. So, in 1.0, even if you hit your target, it is much more likely that the server will fail to register it for a kill. Your round will simply look like it hit a brick wall or something. This happens a LOT LESS now in 1.5.
lol... well, at the very opening of the clip, you will see me traversing right as the 2 jets fly over the gas station within my view. Based on their speed and direction, I just threw it hard on an intercept course, hoping they would stay on course... they did... the connection was probably more luck than skill. The jet was well out of view before i got the kill. I've pulled a shot like that off maybe 3-4 other times ever... at least two of which got me immediately banned.
Thanks!... In slow playback mode... (3), closeup to any infantry, you can catch and record blinks, head turns, eye and mouth movements. The trickiest part was catching and recording a mouth movement while the eyes were still focused and looking into the camera. In editing, its just a matter of playing back the movement forward, then backwards at different speeds intermittently. Look more closely at the eyes and grass on the ground when he is talking.
For jets, I would say 1 shot out of every 20-30 rounds will connect. Of those that connect, 1 out of 10 will properly register for the kill.
For choppers, 1 shot out of 5 to 10 rounds will hit, with a 3 out of 4 probability of registering. And, of registered hits, I might get 75% of the kills. (other 25% is stolen by jets or stingers)
what do you do against me when i'm flying? i like to swoop down and drop bombs on you from an 85 degree angle so the probability of both bombs hitting you is perfect?
Same thing I do with chopper whores that TV missile me from the same angle... Hop in a jet and hunt them down. I'm not the best dogfighter, but I am generally feared in the air as well. For choppers, I'm having a lot of fun lately bombing them out of the sky. It's a lot more challenging than killing a tank on the ground.
I usually do my best to simply frustrate the verticle bombers by dodging their efforts. This often results in them ramming me. (See my Ghost Chickens video) But... for the pro-bombers, I resort to fighting fire with fire.
Thank you!... tracks are your best target. If you have the higher ground even slightly, shoot for the top of a fender well so that it ricochets into the turret. After 1400+ hrs in a tank, I have still been unable to master the ricochet shot consistently in the heat of battle. Much of it is luck. For tank vs tank, use cover to limit your exposure to a single target, and be ready (positioned well) to jump out and repair fast to regain the upper hand.
Many thanks for your answers! Will train. All my friends loved the helicopters and planes, and not validly withdrawn on the tank, calling him cans. If you learn well they shoot down, I will call them chickens!! :D
Hi! When I saw your video, it just fell from the chair: D. I was shocked! After this video wanted to learn the tank. Tell me please, how many hours a day do you play to achieve this level of fire??
Thanks!... It doesn't take as many hours as you might think. Its not quantity but quality.... rather HOW you practice. After about the second or third time i nailed a long distant shot, I realized that I hadn't spent very much time or thought aiming.... I had just "reacted". This is pretty much the overall point of the tutorial. Good Luck!
I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to keep your focus centered on the target regardless of where your reticle is... even as you fire, and after you fire. Dont take your eyes off the target until he is a flaming heap.
Thanks. Its very useful. Got my first jet and chopper kills after I watched this. Could you define short, mid and long ranged? I have trouble with mid-long range shots since I use the reticle points that you use.
I would say midrange is anything between 100 and 200 meters (give or take 50), and long range is anything 250 or farther. The long range spot is pretty accurate at around 200-250. Midrange pretty accurate at 150.
With middle finger on W, pinky can only control 1 column of keys. with the shift right, it can control 2. Also, because I'm a typist, ESDF = true home positions for the left hand. I'm not quite sure if yaw and pitch do anything for tank. Just experiment with sensitivity until you can turn the turret as fast as possible without making very small aiming adjustments too "jerky".
Most impressive tutorial tank video ,very cool and usefull ,im not a tank whore but more a chopper whore and i keep in mind your name if i play against you ,i will put my gunner in a 90 degre angle just for you :)
So Safr, how do you manage to one shot some of those helis, are they already wounded or is there a weak spot? Because I can manage to hit them and smoke them if they are at full life.
They are already damaged. At full health, a tank shell takes a chopper down to 3 bars, so pretty much any amount of damage to a chopper makes it vulnerable to a 1 shot kill.
In actual play, the majority of my chopper kills come from following up a shell with mg fire.
ah. I was only curious because it looked like the helis you 1 shot were at full because they werent smoked. And btw the shot at 0:52-0:55 was amazing. :D
Thanks... yeah... they dont have to be smoking. as little as 2-3 bars off from full will make it vulnerable enough. This can easily be done by softening it up with the mg first... but that just lets them know your shooting at them. Its therefore best to finish them off AFTER they already know they are in big trouble. : D
i cant remember how many times u killed me in ur freaken tank dude! lolol what a hacker! hahahaha
i was tryin to find the vids we did in kubra but couldnt find it i was just wondering if u still have'em can u up load again dude! well take care sufr! i hope ill see u soon on the field man! =FBD= mojado-AKA007 whatcha!!!!
Your really nice in tank, I've started to train my self :) I've got a few aircraft and pretty many helis! :) And I've started with my own film too, but I haven't got that many clips yet :(
Yeah, I have side buttons on my mouse, but I use them for parachute and for lie down! And on the community I play on has not got any servers up for a couple of weeks so I haven't play BF2 so much under those mouth and played more AIX 2.0 and PR... And your tutorial helped me very MUCH!

The other reason this happens is because you just simply miss the hitbox.

One of the features of Sony Vegas is to capture audio via microphone. Works pretty good, but my mic could have been better quality.

Will it work for Sony Vegas 7?

How the fuck can you shoot inhumane shots like that?? That was so cool.
Svittidiu 2 years ago
thanks!... if you have time for the full 18 minutes of the tutorial, you will see exactly how I did it.
Oh.. btw... the really inhumane kills represent about 1 out of 50-100 shots.

mate, can you do this on version 1.0 ?
sr402 2 years ago
Yes. Not only in 1.0, but you do this in any other game for that matter. The difference between BF2 1.0-1.4, and version 1.5 is that they have greatly improved the hitreg detection in 1.5. So, in 1.0, even if you hit your target, it is much more likely that the server will fail to register it for a kill. Your round will simply look like it hit a brick wall or something. This happens a LOT LESS now in 1.5.
Safrguns 2 years ago
Make sure to watch all of the ending credits in part 2. I show how to deal with hitreg failure there.

brendonnel 2 years ago
lol... well, at the very opening of the clip, you will see me traversing right as the 2 jets fly over the gas station within my view. Based on their speed and direction, I just threw it hard on an intercept course, hoping they would stay on course... they did... the connection was probably more luck than skill. The jet was well out of view before i got the kill. I've pulled a shot like that off maybe 3-4 other times ever... at least two of which got me immediately banned.

Hey! Cool tutorial! how did you do that the mouth of the engineer is moving at the begining?
paland4 2 years ago
Thanks!... In slow playback mode... (3), closeup to any infantry, you can catch and record blinks, head turns, eye and mouth movements. The trickiest part was catching and recording a mouth movement while the eyes were still focused and looking into the camera. In editing, its just a matter of playing back the movement forward, then backwards at different speeds intermittently. Look more closely at the eyes and grass on the ground when he is talking.
Safrguns 2 years ago
all soldiers move there mouths every minut. he just recorded a move and repeted them many times in a rew
SSF1992 2 years ago
my question, how many shots do you miss to get 1 correct hit?
LeonOfich 2 years ago
Excellent question.
For jets, I would say 1 shot out of every 20-30 rounds will connect. Of those that connect, 1 out of 10 will properly register for the kill.
For choppers, 1 shot out of 5 to 10 rounds will hit, with a 3 out of 4 probability of registering. And, of registered hits, I might get 75% of the kills. (other 25% is stolen by jets or stingers)
Bottom line: I fire LOTS of rounds.
Safrguns 2 years ago
For jets that come at me head on and low enough to shoot at, my hit ratio dramatically improves to about 1 out of 5 with a 60% kill rate.
Safrguns 2 years ago
Make sure you watch all of the ending credits section of the tutorial. There's some footage and explanation there that will help a lot.
Safrguns 2 years ago
what do you do against me when i'm flying? i like to swoop down and drop bombs on you from an 85 degree angle so the probability of both bombs hitting you is perfect?
bbender1986 2 years ago
Same thing I do with chopper whores that TV missile me from the same angle... Hop in a jet and hunt them down. I'm not the best dogfighter, but I am generally feared in the air as well. For choppers, I'm having a lot of fun lately bombing them out of the sky. It's a lot more challenging than killing a tank on the ground.
Safrguns 2 years ago
I usually do my best to simply frustrate the verticle bombers by dodging their efforts. This often results in them ramming me. (See my Ghost Chickens video) But... for the pro-bombers, I resort to fighting fire with fire.
Safrguns 2 years ago
Best Tank School I have ever seen so far.
Thanks to you now i have a better chance against those Helis and Jets.
What about Tank vs Tank.
I heard there are weak spots and ways to baounce tank shells to hit twice.
MexByteLive 2 years ago
Thank you!... tracks are your best target. If you have the higher ground even slightly, shoot for the top of a fender well so that it ricochets into the turret. After 1400+ hrs in a tank, I have still been unable to master the ricochet shot consistently in the heat of battle. Much of it is luck. For tank vs tank, use cover to limit your exposure to a single target, and be ready (positioned well) to jump out and repair fast to regain the upper hand.
Safrguns 2 years ago
I am a pilot in BF2 and i'm scared of you :P JK Nice kills, but i just dive bomb ya ass ;) :P

Hi! When I saw your video, it just fell from the chair: D. I was shocked! After this video wanted to learn the tank. Tell me please, how many hours a day do you play to achieve this level of fire??
qb1k 2 years ago
Thanks!... It doesn't take as many hours as you might think. Its not quantity but quality.... rather HOW you practice. After about the second or third time i nailed a long distant shot, I realized that I hadn't spent very much time or thought aiming.... I had just "reacted". This is pretty much the overall point of the tutorial. Good Luck!
Safrguns 2 years ago
I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to keep your focus centered on the target regardless of where your reticle is... even as you fire, and after you fire. Dont take your eyes off the target until he is a flaming heap.
Safrguns 2 years ago
Ok thanks :)
xKeltaNokkax 2 years ago
Thanks. Its very useful. Got my first jet and chopper kills after I watched this. Could you define short, mid and long ranged? I have trouble with mid-long range shots since I use the reticle points that you use.
xKeltaNokkax 2 years ago
I would say midrange is anything between 100 and 200 meters (give or take 50), and long range is anything 250 or farther. The long range spot is pretty accurate at around 200-250. Midrange pretty accurate at 150.
Safrguns 2 years ago
hmm, I still don't udnerstand why you shift WSAD to ESDF. You still can get all the keys.
What do YAW and PITCH factors do?
I've set the sensitivity to 3. My turret turns 90 degree when I move my mouse about 10-12 cms. Is that OK?
blender3dPy 2 years ago
With middle finger on W, pinky can only control 1 column of keys. with the shift right, it can control 2. Also, because I'm a typist, ESDF = true home positions for the left hand. I'm not quite sure if yaw and pitch do anything for tank. Just experiment with sensitivity until you can turn the turret as fast as possible without making very small aiming adjustments too "jerky".
Safrguns 2 years ago
Most impressive tutorial tank video ,very cool and usefull ,im not a tank whore but more a chopper whore and i keep in mind your name if i play against you ,i will put my gunner in a 90 degre angle just for you :)

So Safr, how do you manage to one shot some of those helis, are they already wounded or is there a weak spot? Because I can manage to hit them and smoke them if they are at full life.
PhoenixOverdrive 3 years ago
They are already damaged. At full health, a tank shell takes a chopper down to 3 bars, so pretty much any amount of damage to a chopper makes it vulnerable to a 1 shot kill.
In actual play, the majority of my chopper kills come from following up a shell with mg fire.
Safrguns 3 years ago
ah. I was only curious because it looked like the helis you 1 shot were at full because they werent smoked. And btw the shot at 0:52-0:55 was amazing. :D
PhoenixOverdrive 3 years ago
Thanks... yeah... they dont have to be smoking. as little as 2-3 bars off from full will make it vulnerable enough. This can easily be done by softening it up with the mg first... but that just lets them know your shooting at them. Its therefore best to finish them off AFTER they already know they are in big trouble. : D

Thanks!... great to hear!... hope the tutorial helps. If your mouse has side buttons, set one up for fraps. Makes it a lot easier.
Lookin forward to your vid... good luck!
Safrguns 3 years ago
Yeah, I have side buttons on my mouse, but I use them for parachute and for lie down! And on the community I play on has not got any servers up for a couple of weeks so I haven't play BF2 so much under those mouth and played more AIX 2.0 and PR... And your tutorial helped me very MUCH!
