Questions about dodging&learning to look at mini maps

Almost all tier3 rare items.One is still tier2 Lv20. That's when I got a little depressed about my fixer life.I know I can't win them all...so,it's time to learn more strategies(Because don't die in game--that's what fixer should being aware).Here,I want ask everybody there some questions---(Most question are from here,after I read them. https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/the-driftshot-and-flow-dodge.22460/ )
Q1. According to TheAntiSnipe's thread,"Flow dodging is something that every ship can do, you just need to be "in the zone" for it to work.",so,what's the definition of "the zone"? Is that just a large place,not a choke point?Did it have a limit for doing it?(ex: only for nitro through enemy or overboosting?)Or it have something I should aware?What's the different between from "the sudden stop"&"the driftshot"?
Q2. What is side step?Is that just turning and going away from enemy's vision of firing?And what is "post-3.2" which appears in the video many times?How can I do "the driftshot"?
Q3. I didn't used to look at the mini map,and because of that,I often be locked by enemys (like speeders comes from the back),and than,BOOM.Game over.So,I'd like to learn when and how and what I should aware from mini maps.How can I do that?
Q4. So,unfortunately,if I still being locked by speeders,which weapon can I fire to temporarily blind them and run away? Can Sniper cannon or carronade do that?
Q5. Except what I had write,did there still have something more to paying attention?(ex:look what weapons did the enemy take,or know and notice the enemy are aiming and ready to fire at once)
Q6. I don't want this happen...But if I'm tired from playing fixers,wants to be an enfo,what should I know,and what weapon should I pick?
...Sorry for throwing so many questions,but I really wants to know how to make me survive more easily.And thanks for reading my questions.If you can answer it,it will be a great encouragement to a poor fixer.(Hey,and if TheAntiSnipe himself have see and answer my question,I'll be really happy)
That's what I want to ask,until now.Maybe I'll expand this thread,will I?

 

Sorry I've only got time to answer one now but I'm sure @TheAntiSnipe or someone else will give you more in depth answers.

But if you want to become an enfo, then your weapons of choice are pretty clear. You have three red slots with total three slot points so you should only use 1 point weapons. Now here's a list of typical enfo weapons / builds with brief explanation:
- flare + double blast cannon. One of the most popular / iconic enfo builds, and also one of the most powerful. You basically try to set targets on fire and hammer them with blasts that have as many fire damage perks as possible. However, it might not be easy to build two sets of solid blast cannons because the RNG usually goes against your will.
- flare + blast + mine. Similar to first build but replacing one blast with mines can also work well. It changes your role in battle a little bit but can be devastating combo.
- flare + blast + any other 1 slot weapon. Basically any one slot weapon can be good with this combo if you know how to use it well. However, putting something like mortars on your enfo isn't common for good reasons, so the options I recommend are basically swift torpedo or sniper.
- Grenade launcher can be used to replace flare in any of the above combinations but you pretty much need 4 epic fire chance perks for it to work properly.

 

Hmmm. Thanks for replying for such a long message.That helps a lot.According to what you had said:"The sudden stop is a PRACTICAL move that is not flashy at all, and is highly unrecommended on the fixer because of the fixer's inferior reverse and large hitbox. The driftshot is more PSYCHOLOGICAL than anything, and again, is NOT recommended on a fixer because of the lower agility of the fixer."So maybe I just need to focus on this---
So,here are the questions:because fixers can also do "sidesteps",and you had said this to me before:"OB all the way for now. You can consider nitro once you go to the endgame(Ace 1-Nightmare) when you'll have an endgame nitro training as well as battle experience to CONTROL the nitro effect."so lets focus on using OB or just using turbo(though this one sounds impossible.)So let's getting started.
Three questions:
Q1. So how can fixer do side steps?And when?In your video,sidesteps appear when an "un-friend"is focusing on you,maybe will try to kill you.So,how can I know and notice the enemy are aiming and ready to fire at once?Can it just lay to experience?And again,what's "post-3.2"?

Q2. In one game I'd really foucus on a speeder that definitely wants to kill me,and I really do hit him with carro,but it seems doesn't matter to him(damage about 3-4*100*n until he's die).In the end,my teammate helped me,but to the end,that speeder didn't focus on my teammate for even one second!Did he/she just only think it's a TDM,so it doesn't matter? So how can I do next time in such a situation?

And finally,I'll consider to join.Because the high agility of the enfo ,and it's suitable to every mix of the ships.Maybe I'll try out enfo at 4.2's Casual mode? So,if I really wants to try that,should I upgrade my rare Blast cannon and Flare gun?


And that's all,until now.And thanks again for explain these thing to me
(Hey,and sorry to being too serious yesterday

 

Yo, welcome to the enfo club, dude! Blast/Flare paired with a carronade or grenade works so well for enforcers, so absolutely. If you're interested, here's a link to my thread about an easy-to-learn enforcer build that makes use of the high speed/agility you mentioned, with a loadout guide, strat tips, and a replay of me using it: https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/the-true-speedforcer-or-one-bored-redneck-on-a-sunday-evening.23785/

Lemme know if you have any more questions about this setup or some other build options for the enforcer, I or another enfo player will be happy to assist you... we on the forums love our enforcers

 

I just count them as noobs, so they will shoot whenever they have a weapon reloaded, so I dance when I know they are reloaded.
It is like you have to sometimes do moves that even you didn't expect, be like RNG.

 

Thanks! So,can somebody answer my question...

...and giving some resources or tutorials of being a "normal" enfo(There're not many thread on forum about this)?Because I'm heavy-handed and seldom play as a enfo,so I'm afraid it's high agility would make my die frequently(And as a fixer,this is what he/she don't want his teammates happen,maybe)...And,brawler/sniper/dancer or ranger(from TheAntiSnipe's thread) or being a Offensive/Defensive/ or Miner(from Battle Bay Wiki)would be a better playing style to a fixer player?Questions to here,thanks again!
