Positioning
This is a may seem very basic but it is one of the most important aspects of the entire game. Due to the high speed and various other variables of the game, knowing and understanding the movement system is critical. This plays heavily into your battles with other players and when you are fighting in a team based game defending a point. Paying attention to radar, getting a jump on an enemy, or even just simply knowing when and where to heal. These all fall under this. This also leads into the next category.
Aim
Another very basic rule, but this is key as well. Because of the limited turn cap of the game, aiming is something that is extremely important. Using your ability to dodge and position yourself correctly to offset how much you have to aim helps in quickening your ability to smite your foe. Also, maintaining a constant bead on someone moving quickly will allow you to bring down even the fastest mechs. Timing and placing a well aimed shot can be the difference between life and death.
Avoidance
Knowing and understanding the movement mechanics of the game allow you excel in many aspects, however, not taking a hit is also key to survival in the long run. Judging and gauging the time it takes for a TOW to reload or when to dodge a hellfire is can help immensely. Reading your opponent and judging what to do and when. Also, knowing when and how to use cover or obstacles (EVEN YOUR OWN TEAMMATES) will help you survive longer and stay in the fight.
This may not be much but gives you something to go by. This is what I use and it allows me to be one of the top pilots of the game.
