When fighting multiple enemies, keep airspeed above 300mph.

Flaps good. No flaps bad.

Shoot bad guy close good. Shoot bad guy far bad.

Speed good. No speed bad.

Turn fight noob in F6 good. Turn fight Urchin in 109 bad.

P51 good, F4U bad.

you sure about that?

anyhows, should of posted this in the help and training forum, for better use

a tip to practice : learn to hide your stored "E" and  using the No G load climb "zoom climb" , reversing direction 180 degrees in a dogfight maintaining 150 to 200 IAS and doing it so fast the guy thinks your cheating! ( a  thought of Fencer of old comes to mind )

High "G" Roll over the top when being attacked from  high 6 Oclock position ( depending on plane type bouncing you)

as mentioned above, ability to use different flap settings when under 225 IAS ( indicated air speed - ie...the white needle )

Pull stick back, trees get smaller.   Push stick forward trees get bigger.

Never, under any circumstance should you attack a B24 with a P51.

Only take 3/4 tank of fuel and burn fuel from internal fuselage tank first.  If more fuel is needed take external drop tanks.  Internal fuselage fuel makes the plane unstable when maneuvering.    



Have fun!

you mean AUX tank, right?

I most times take 75% 2 DTs, burn AUX tank first then switch to DTs, or sometimes 50% and 2 DTs

also use manual trim and trim it out level flight at around 300 to 325 IAS then leave it trimmed at that setting and fight with it at speeds from 400/375 all way down to 50 IAS depending on which type of fighting I am doing...all guns I set a 350 convergence
