Bostons and the Japanese buffs (ki67?) I haven't really studied these like I have the ones above. I usually just 'default' to the high slashing attack on these.


You should study them a bit.  Both of these plane types have gun "Blind spots" that will enable you to kill them at your leisure, w/out receiving return fire.

all other tips ok, but my tip is NEVER come in high on a KI67......its 20mm cannon (i think) in the top turret will turn any plane into a fireball without wings........

My favorite tactic is to fly straight and level.  Set up so that your flight path is perpendicular to the bombers(Make sure you're going reasonably fast), but so that you'll cross thier flight path only a moment after the bomber passes.  You get a beautiful point blank shot on the bombers, while forcing the gunner to continually have to track you in thier sights.
