I found this a while ago on M4T's website, never saved it, looked it up again.
Even though it is for a different game there is very valuable information in the document about combat flying in general.

Just looked up the for purchase version on amazon......and ordered it, yeah yeah I know, I could just print the pdf, but all those loose pages are too difficult to handle when reading sitting in the throne room.
A book is much nicer in that respect.;-)

When I read the pdf for the first time quite a while ago, think it was for IL2 1946, the part I liked most was the phsycological evaluation of what pilots/ sim pilots do and why and why mistakes happen.
Found it more helpful than for example the section about combat maneuvers.
Really interesting stuff.

I started on the pdf a while ago, but because of school i stopped at about 1/4 of way. but now seeing u post it again I'm gonna start on where i left off.
this is definitely worth spending time in, as this will definitely help u get an advantage in online combat.

Saw that one as well, Ataros, should have ordered it at the same time, would have gotten free shipping ;-).
Ah well, later.....

Got the book today, can only recommend it to anyone who would like to have a broader picture of sim flying.
It is pretty universally aplicable for any flying sim, even RoF with WWI planes.

i think that was orginally for ww2 online.
i still play the land game, but i gave up on flying in it years ago when i discovered il2.
