Walkthrough, tips and techniques
Fire Accuracy:
Heading aim circle:
When a hostile (enemy aircraft) is in range (you can hit with your weapons), switch to the cockpit view, drop the throttle to 50% to 75%, a small circle will appear in front of their plane at which you should aim and fire, this circle betrays the enemy’s heading (direction).
during tight turning curves, you may find it more accurate to fire slightly in front of (before) the heading circle.
during a wide turning curve, it is more accurate to fire slightly after (behind) the aim circle.
Continuous vs Burst firing techniques:
Continuous firing is better while turning, especially wide turns.
Burst firing is better when the enemy is flying straight ahead.
Flying views:
Cockpit view: is better for aiming and firing.
Above airplane view: is better for monitoring the enemy activity, dropping bombs, torpedoes, and landing (eventually).
The radar (visible in both mentioned views): gives you a clear idea about the enemy locations and their heading, it is very useful, you will learn to use it.
Turning in a dogfight:
One tactic to use in turning is to turn upwards until the plane in inverted then correct your level, it is quicker, while it can make the top of you plane vulnerable to pursuers (so make sure you don’t have any of them before attempting such a turn, by glancing at the radar).
Beware of the hunting maneuvers, in which a hostile is dragging you behind them, while their team is on your tail, aligning to shoot you down.
Evasive maneuvers and avoiding getting shot down:
When you are being pursued, you have one of two tried and true tactics:
Turn into the enemy and drop the altitude and blast underneath them, which will cause them to waste time turning.
Drop the speed to 75% or less and the altitude to 200 or less (100 is preferred), unless they are directly on your tail, this will make their shots pass over you harmlessly.
Lastly, use your radar and make sure that your enemies are not lined up behind you.
