If you're looking for some dogfight training, try this.
 
Hey guys,
I was trying out my new AV8R an the demo and I found something that I think will help me be good when the game comes out. I hope this is something that will help some of you too.

After shooting down all the planes in Skies Over Dover, it was just me and my wingmen in the air. I started messing around with my new flight stick and noticed, no matter what I did, my wingmen try real hard to form up on my six. I played with them for awhile, them trying to get on my six, and me on theirs. It was real goog training for a dogfight(or maybe I'm just show how bad I am:oops: The only problem is, the mission auto ends after a certain amount of time, so you have to start mission again.

Hope it helps atleast a couple of you. I did the mission again and just looked for the 109's. I did ALOT better after I did the above, in sim mod too.

I did that accidentally. I looked back and saw a plane moving in on my six so I finally got behind him and started firing. Oops. :cool:

That's the point where the radio (though unrealistic) is very useful. When I'm shooting at a distant plane and I hear an english voice saying 'I'm getting hit' or similar, I know that I am attacking the wrong target :)

They will also say something to the effect of your shooting friendly's:-P

I swear I heard a friendly saying, "Have you gone mad?" when I started firing on him. I did enough damage to cause an oil leak on his plane. :oops:

For some reason, I literally feel bad when I shoot at a friendly.
