If there higher than you , you can act like ur afk with auto on when they swoop for your six force a over shoot and then do w/e u would do to kill them another thing u can do for defense is get your plane right underneath them making them auger there plane and they will most likely end up flying by u under you and then keep good SA and set urself up for a shot.

Also remeber the strong points of your plane and use them 2 your ablility to defeat your enemies.

Stay fast, don't climb to reach them and run out of speed.

Fly level, build your speed, once you've got a good head of steam then do a very easy smooth immelman. Most planes will gain 4 - 6k if done right. Regain speed, rinse & repeat. If he dives on you roll inverted & pull back HARD into a split S.

Zoom up on the backside and continue. Once you manage to equalise altitude then he has a choice between between getting very aggressive, or running.

There is nothing like the fight where your opponant starts with all the cards, alt, E, position, and you manage to turn the tables and shoot him down.  Those you mark on the calendar so you can remember them.  :)
