 When diving on an easy target, start shooting from 1.4k (2.5k if you have .50s) and wobble your rudder to cover as much area as possible. After you miss make sure to pull up as predictably as possible infront of their nose, as this is the last thing they will expect.
 Do not at any moment use the throttle to manage your attack speed.

Make plans. In every situation imaginable. Before you enter a fight. In the fight. When getting bounced. When looking for an exit. Then use the right ACM to achive your plan. Keep the plans simple. Build them step for step, not a big masterplan right from the start. This helps you on focusing on what matters and make the right decisions at the right time.

Use the throttle...it does not have to be 100% all the time.

It isn't always the plane, the pilot has an effect on how well you do. Still, being able to catch up to that runstang sure is sweet.

If you think you have a shot on an enemy (even if it was a 1v1), check behind you. Historically, there was a possibility of having a bandit there, in the MA someone will be there, guaranteed.

If you are in anything but a Spit or a 51 multiply that by 3, since most are tired of shooting down the same planes. If you are in a P38, assume that every bandit within 5.9k will be diving on you.
Unless, of course, there's a P47 about

Absolutely! I'm very religious about attacking every 38 and 47 I see.

I'm also not particular about most others...but those are my favorites :)
