If i see a single fighter, i turn into them.
if i see a overwhelming number, i fall back untill i meet up with a few green,then i 180 and head directly into the fry.
My objective is to brake up the pack,and try to divert the attention, if i can i will also point my plane head long to the enemy field and "ping pong ball" at every fighter i can get into gun range,all while keeping my speed and nose pointed generaly at the enemy base.
Some pilots will chase for a bit, then turn away and return to the front lines.
MOST, just nose down and give it full wep tryin' to chase my 38'
in most cases i dislodge a heavy attack,lure them back to there own side, and maby get a few kills, or damage others long before they ever enter the range of front line combat. "thus forceing them to rtb from damage

"
Im a raider,and the only time i realy care about fighting is to SUPPORT a wingman, other than that,you can see me makeing suicide attacks on enemy fields all while flying right thru flocks of enemy fighters fully intent on geting to the front lines.
Nothing makes me smile like draging a flock of baddies to there own base and enabeling my men to have more numbers on the front.
Huzzah.
