Oh. Here's another piece of advice for newbies. Don't fly against "mountain hugger". These are enemy pilots that keep flying along the side of a mountain at low altitude. It's a common trick used by better pilots to kill inexperienced opponents. They trade a couple of high deflection shots to bait you, and then they fly you into the side of a mountain for the kill.
It's surprising how often this tactic works. Don't fall for it. The kill shot isn't on the side of the mountain. The counter tactic is to throttle back, save your fuel and wait the guy out. Don't try saving the other newbies attacking the plane. You can't save them.
A P57 with a drop tank is good for this. This guy has deliberately chosen a plane that maneuvers really well, it isn't going to be fast when he runs away. When he gets low on ammo, WEP and gas and turns back to go home you follow him till he gets clear of the mountain and you KILL HIM.
By the way. Some of the experienced pilots call me the TROLL because i tell new guys about these cheap tricks and how to counter the tactics. THEY DON'T LIKE IT. They would prefer that you die in a proper grotesque manner befitting all newbies. They will always advise you to ATTACK regardless of whether or not you are being BAITED and believe DEATH is the price you should pay for the wisdom they are imparting.
