It is pretty hard to hit fighters if they are aware of your presence. Don't blow all your E trying to turn with them, zoom on by and try again.
Only fire one set of guns at a time, unless making a quick pass at a B-17 or Lanc.
Keep your speed at least 400 if you are near the deck. Level acceleration sucks.
If there are cons higher than you, they
will drop everything and swoop on your perk jet. Plan accordingly.
At higher alts, you can get slow because the thing picks up speed very quickly in a dive.
The biggest danger are collisions. You are going much faster than everyone else and closure rates can be very high - especially on bombers.
It is also easy to overspeed and fly right on by your victim and into the ground.
On takeoff, hold down the brakes and let the engines spool all the way up before letting go.
After a few hundred feet, level out and accelerate to at least 300 before climbing out.
At 400, it will maintain climb rate over 2k/min easily. And zoom climbs at high speed are phenomenal.
Landing is tricky at first, but not difficult. It
is quite difficult to slow the plane down, compared to what you're used to.
First notch of flaps come out around 350 (IIRC) and gear around 250. Last two notches come out under 200.
Once you get it that slow though, it really has docile handling and is a piece of cake to put down.
One more thing. Expect PM whines by the bushel.
