PLEASE GO HERE FOR NEW FLYER GUIDE
http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=330980813
************************************************************************************************************


I've seen other guides where you get 1 screenshot of a flyer with wild claims about how well it does. None of that, this guide is going to be short and sweet and will tell you have to build a flyer in Tier 1-4.

If you think it doesn't work you can watch my Let's play, its taken me from Tier 2-5 currently and shows no sign of stopping.

I will show you cube by cube how to build it.

The things you will need unlocked is Aerofoils Level 1 minimum, apart form that it's all relative.


So now onto the design.
The Wutzbee
Here it is, the Wutzbee MK1.

The design for the flyer is very simple.

This video shows how it is made but if you can't watch it I will show via screenshots how it's done! (I'd recommend the video as reasonings are explained!) All screenshots taken from said video!

Youtube Guide to building the Flyer!


1. Build up 3-4 cubes, this is standard for flyers and gives you room underneath to work.

2. Make 8 cubes horizontally from your first upward block like so;



Add a downwards prism on the front anf upwards on the back.

3. The third cube from the front add an upwards prism, behind it 1 square cube and another upward prism ontop.

4. Build a box around it where the pilot seat goes and place the seat, this is what you should have;



5. Attach prisms and tetras around the pilot seat to make a smooth box and add 4 cubes at the back., attaching and upward prism to the last block. Fill in two blocks on either side of the base of the seat. This is what you should have;



6. Extend the wings out 4 blocks on either side, like so (Picture shows 1 side, you do both), like so;



7. Apply downwards prisms to each "wing", attached two Aerofoil (whatever Tier you have) **Make sure they are reversed. I was told to do it like this and it works, by all means try it the other way but this seems to be the best. So the "AFx" on the aerofoil should face away from the front of the plane. Like so;



8. Attach Aerofoils to the last rear cube in the same manner and apply the rudder, against facing "backwards". Put an engine on each wing as shown (repeat for the other side, use whatever engine tier you are at, this wont work for like Tier 6 engines btw its a low level flier).



9. Modify the rear end to like like this screenshot, I beleive it's adding a square cube, then apply the engine as shown on both sides, also place 1 engine below in the way shown by the screenshot.



10. Attach whatever Plasma launcher you are using to the front prism and then the fourth square cube back underneath, as shown. Note lower tier guns can be closer and thus more if you have the CPU for it, I wa susing Tier 4 plasmas here and are alot bigger then Tier 1 or 2.



11. Attache two more plasma launchers on the third wing cube out, again depending on the size of your launcher (heheheheh) you may fit more but keep it mirror'd, otherwise your flyer will tilt, also more weight = slower flyer.



12. Radar Jammer on the front square cube (top) and radar on the rear square cube (bottom).

13. Fill in the sides with prisms and your done! It should look like this and be mirror'd ont he far side;



All done, that is a Tier 1-4 flier depending on what engines and weapons/cubes you use. If your confused watch the video it's explained in detail cube by cube.

Please please please go and practice with it, it can take a few tries to get the hang of it. It cannot stand and tank rail guns, its a flyer not jesus. You need to fly high, fly wide and generally attack from the direction where their whole team is *Not* looking.

If you are ever in the middle of the field it had better be to kill the last player, otherwise your dead and nothing will save you. Please watch my videos to see how the flyer is played, I have had great success with it and this basic structure can be upgraded almost cube for cube to Tier 3, then some changes need to be made.

It can be done in Tier 1, I have been told as such, I myself have only used it from Tier 2 onwards. Usually it netted me 2-3 kills per game using the highest plasma in that Tier, I did not use plasmas from a higher tier unless I was in it. So no "Hey this is a Tier 2 flyer, oops here are 3 Tier 4 plasma guns!"

**You will have games where you get 1 shotted** just learn to live with it as this is what low tier flyers are, unless you want a slow moving bomber. Played right this plane is a monster, as seen in my lets play, the episode below is where the flyer is started.

Let's play Episode With the Flyer

About halfway through, apologies for the poor commentary I'm new to Youtube! I get better!







Conclusion
I hope that helps people who are stuck or keep trying to work out flyers based off low res highly cubed up images.

This design is not perfect but it's pretty damn good if you ask me.


If you like the design I would ask you check out the whole Let's play to see it and the upgraded version, I beleive I'm on the Wutzbee MKIII now and it looks like this!


Tier 5 and a real monster.

As always if you like this game please support Freejam and buy premium if only for a day or two, help them make a better game!

Take care all,

For anyone who doesn't follow my channel/Let's play, here is the Tier 6 version of Wutzbee, tried and tested, can take a few hits.

I don't see an aerofoil T1 in the tech tree, it starts at T2 for some reason
