Depending on the circumstances, I tend to get real aggressive in the 262. I was stall fighting Messiah's P47 that day too and I like to read the shock on the other guy when they see the 262 maneuvering with them.
The one problem is it generally slows me down too much to avoid the other 10 cons diving in. Then again, with the amount of perks I have, it isn't really a problem.
