Love the Plane. I prefer attack and aggression in a fight, and its perfect for that. The climb with 2 1000's straped and 100 percent fuel, is outstanding. You must really rely on rpm settings to conserve fuel though. I take it 9800 ft, and almost never go above 10k, maybe to climb up to a 12-14 k bomber, and thats it. If im in a fight, I man handle the thing, throwing huge rudder when i need to. The acceleration isnt good though, and try to keep it fairly fast. Once you lost your E, and theres more then 2, your in some doo-doo. Unless you can fanagile your way out. Which doesnt happen that much. Im absolutely amazed at the people who come in to ho me when im in a typhoon. I have no problem with it. I hold my shot, and as soon as i hear a gunshot, I open up. The turning aspect, obviously keep her rolling right, but in a situation when you cant I usually roll up and over to get the fight going my way. Zazen really put the planes characteristics into clear simple terms, but the only thing i could add was practice, like anything else. It also will get you ready for the Tempest. Basically a typhoon on Roids. The biggest difference for me, is I can now go to 15 as opposed to 10k. BTW about 60% of my flying is done is this plane. Im addicted to it. One more thing, the skins for it look great. It just looks like a mean mother^*&_*. I like that.
