What exactly is good sa?

Beats hell out of me, in scenarios I could face twenty enemy fighters and come out with half a dozen kills, in the main arena however - B17s could sneak up behind me and I'd never know.

I've never understood that period.

Tailslides can be used in few occasions. Ie enemy slightly behind, enemy diving in from higher alt, use it to pull a quick snap shot.... Etc

There is also MANY variations to this move. To decide which variation at the right time is how one can actually master the move.

Then the 56th is not for me. I die all the time (but at least I look good while plummeting to the ground)  :devil

Lol, Uptown said we encourage members to stay alive, we do our equal share of killing and being killed.
