Please, please, please, please, please, please.......do NOT even think about using the movie Topgun as a training aide.  An aileron roll isn't a good guns defense, you can't get into a flat spin over land and "head out to sea", all four cats never go down at the same time on a CVN, there isn't a crumb of good ACM information in it, there's no Topgun Trophy, no written tests, no grades, appropriate uniform in the Miramar O'Club bar was flight suits, not tropical whites, there are no stocking-wearing civilian Topgun "instructor" bimbos, and, if there were, I would not need to be told that "she's a civilian so you don't salute her" and I'd beeotch slap her for opening her mouth during a TACTS debrief.  Other than that, it's a fine movie. :rofl

Yall wear flight suits to the bar? Thats cheating....makes it too easy :devil

OK,back to subject. What kinda formation is good to defend about 30 to 80 bombers all in one massive group,flying at 25k bombing over an area that has about a 100guns on it defended like Berlin. Whats a good fighter formation for that.

stealth to answer you're 1rst Q. it depends on the planes your plane and the guy you're dog fighting. if you r faster but less maneuverable try to get higher and he or she is slower so they wold level owt 1rst after a bit he gets ahead and you dive in on him. but if your slower try to owt turn him.
im not the best at the game but i learned a lot playing offline. so if u want try go ahead if not then don't. 
Planes I'm good in the Bf-109 G14, the B-25C, and the B-17G not many but its nice for me to know :P

I believe he's referring to the inability of some to piece together a remotely concise and readable paragraph.

I know you're new, so here is some advice:

Take your time on the posts.  Spell out the words correctly (nothing bugs me more than people who find "are" too difficult so they choose "r") and try to use proper capitalization and punctuation.  We're not English teachers but it will make thing easier for all of us, and especially for you if you put a little more effort into these posts.
