Use it as a BnZ aircraft. Keep your energy up and stay above your enemy. This mitigates your slow, sustained top speed and allows you to withdraw if things go sour. If you get in the thick of it and mix it up you will get kills, but probably die to some P-51D booming through the fight.

2. Engage WEP.
3. Pull stick fully back until bandit enters gunsight.
4. When range counter is less than 1.0k, hold down both triggers.
5. When bandit explodes, find new target and repeat steps 3 & 4.

Post by: Wilbus on May 25, 2002, 07:49:56 AM: It's allways on Ben, N1K2 and later verisons had it engaged at all times, as long as the engine is running it doesn't take too much power from the Anti gravity drive so both can be engaged at the same time.

Don't turn with it.

Post by: Angus on May 27, 2002, 12:07:25 PM: Muhahaha, niki for dummies?
Just dogfight and turnfight everything except spitV/I, Hurry's and Zekes. You can outrun those.If you get into trouble, just HO. Spray your 20mm, your ammo clip is big.
Yup, that's about it.

At the expense of ammo load, speed, and ruggedness. Pei is right... Spit 5 has many disadvantages, don't let it use it's only advantage.

Nik2 on the other hand seems to turn well, and has good speed/acceleration

Post by: bigUC on May 27, 2002, 04:19:08 PM: Niki not only turns and accelerate well, but has guns that will kill at 800+ yards if u try to run. So, A niki (or its "pilot") just have to turn when in danger, then aim and shoot you when u extend. A good plane for the hit-sprite addicted....
