Hm, sounds like you need some basic information about boom&zoom and fighting in general. Take a look at www.netaces.org. You will find information about various combat techniques, including BnZ. After that, you might ask a trainer (trainers@flyaceshigh.com) to give you a few lessons.

Hey, red, didn't you already asked that question in another thread?

Anyway, it seems Lusche is right, I guess you need more info about aerial combat, check netaces and the links in my signature, especially SimHq Air combat corner, you may find a lot of useful info there.

Red26,
the term "Boom&Zoom" can be misleading as far as the 205 is concerned. Dont use the old classic "Boom&Zoom", good for FW190s and F4Us. Use instead a "Hit&Climb" technique: shallow dive up to 400-450mpg TAS, never go below the enemy, hit and extend with a soft climb or spiral climb. Keep as much E as you can pulling up gently, since the DB605A of the 205 doesnt have any MW overboost and doesnt allow very good sustained climbs. Again, practice with 109Gs and K, they are a very good training for the 205.

So at the time it was one of the worst planes to go up against.

We even have the first-hand story told by an italian pilot given a 205 (he had been flying 202s and he got the first 205 in his squadron) -- his first sortie he took out 2 bombers and easily killed a P38, then got into a fight where he was serverely outnumbered and he still managed to get away and land safely! He was fine but the plane was written off. His CO was pissed as hell until he dragged him around confirming the 2 bombers and 1 fighter kills.

The IAR80 series had the Allies trembling more than the 205. I wish we could get the I.A.R. 81c.
