Welcome to AH, ikillya!
Here's some advice for fighter pilots:
***Always fly for the Knights.
***Set up your view keys thoughtfully, and learn to use them like you were playing a musical instrument.
***Practice gunnery off-line on the drones.
***Get close when you shoot; 250 yds or less. Fifty yards is even better. That's my style.
***Look around constantly.
***Try to enter combat at 300 mph or higher.
***If your opponent is higher than you, don't climb to meet him. Keep your speed up and make him come down to you.
***Don't use tracers, except offline practicing. They give you away in combat.
