[cobia38]

I try and get some time in every aircraft that has forward firing guns (not bombers).  I try to fly an aircraft to it's strengths and in a manner for which it was meant historically.  I bnz, I furball, I bomb, dive bomb, capture fields and ferry supplies. You'd think after all this time in AH I would be real good, but the reality is I generally suck, mosty because I like to have fun.  I do not slam on the brakes every time someone gets on my six (seems to be an ever more popular tactic).  Every so often I concentrate on gunnery (Hitech...  what the HELL did you do to the gunnery since my latest extended absence?).  I never check my score... (I did that once or twice and finished in the top 3 or 4... how freekin boreing!). 

Mostly... I have fun.  Lately when the MA gets boreing (lotta that going on), I do DA for awhile... seems to sharpen the edge a little every time.

When it comes to GVing, study the terrain layout before attacking. Use actual vehicle warfare tactics too. V maneuvers to outflank the enemy and circle them, support style units allow others to slip in closer, force breaches in the enemy lines with large charges from treeline to treeline. After GVing alot i tend to start taking command of GV groups, rallying them and coordinating them to take bases now. Just spawning in and not working as a team will ALWAYS get you killed.

A coordinated Defensive positioning of multiple GVs is also great. Create chokeholds on the enemy, force the enemy to halt and regroup, etc.

There are so many GV tactics usable in the game when one studies and works with others that you will find new life to GVing once used.

I also like getting into a zeke and running circles around everyone 

This one is still my fave

I love flying the Japanese tinderbox myself...just can't shoot well out of it.  If someone with bad breath (Waystin2) breathes on it, it catches on fire.

The one general tactic I use is, never slow down if there are multiple bandits within icon distance of you.  I set a hard limit of no slower than 250mph in a furball.  Even getting down to 250 is pushing it, IMO.

Then I proceed to ignore that limit, get slow, and get shot.  It is the natural order of things.

My two favorite tactics both involve vert fighting:

1. Rope a dope (usually 47 M, 109, occasional 51-B)
2. Nose-up 109-G6 stall fighting (from E disadvantage -- these get fun)
