What are some combat tactical maneuvers that would prepare you for any situation in a dogfight. For instance what would you do if you had a plane dead on your 6 split s or something else. What do you think you should do.

What do you think makes a person a good pilot and maybe post some pictures of maneuvers for any situation.

Yes,but that's what makes you a pilot that score boards basically what about a tactical situation that deals with maneuvers. First of all what are some maneuvers because I only know the basic stuff. I'm looking for advanced tactics,the what do you consider skill post just shows you goals and what makes you a good pilot. I'm talking about tactical combat maneuvers.

Not completely what I'm looking for still very useful stuff but again mostly just basics. Topgun isn't on this post for no reason at all. The navy got the top 1% of its best pilots. There not using to many basics that top 1%.

Well not to be vague but there's a ton of variables. What plane is on my 6? What plane am I in? What alt? Ammo and fuel load? Where am I on the map relative to friendly and enemy bases? E states?

Are the enemies close by likely to engage if I attempt reversal? If so are there friendlies nearby where we can engage and kill them all if I can get them all to engage me?

FWIW, in a  1V1, split S is a completely defensive move and not one I would go with unless I was looking to permanently disengage for some reason.  Unless I am crippled or facing a gangbang, I(and most experienced sticks) am looking for a way to kill the bad guy. I'd be using moves that help with reversal and/or negate enemy E advantage.

Well anybody hear about a WWI German fighter pilot who made 10 rules.I consider them more of guidelines but still very useful stuff.

In that case your pretty much screwed

He makes some good points but doesn't account for certain circumstances and some are not practical for gameplay.

Don't dismiss the stuff that is posted on Netaces.org.  Some of that information, such as how to merge, energy fighting and other articles like that is exactly what you're asking for.

Try reading the book No Guts No Glory by Frederick Blesse. There is a lot of good stuff in there.

If you want tactics for AH2 topgun is probably not what you want. Topgun covers tactics for heavy highspeed jets not light single engine piston driven fighters. Plus I bet the actual stuff that they teach in topgun is classified.

You are wrong. The best pilots do not make a lot of fancy moves - they actually tend to make very simple ACM, but do the correct ACM in the right time and the right way. On top of that, if you are good and know what you are doing, you will not even NEED fancy ACM.

Also, do not et too hyped over top-gun. They still do pretty basic, small scale dogfighting. It is just that the other pilots do not do even that.
