This is what I usually do when I play.Firstly I increase my altitude to about 2250km-when the enemy is usually about 1000-500km.Then I swoop down-speed acclerates to 400-500 kmph, and usually over shoot my target completely.If I don't over shoot my target, I'm going too fast to score a clear shot.Multiple times, the enemy makes a sharp causing me to struggle with the controls in an attempt to re-direct the plane.

Is there anyone here that can give me some tips on how to BNZ properly?I would also like to know which planes are good for BNZ tactics-my preference are agile planes which need at most two BNZ runs to destroy the enemy.
Well, if you're a very big fan of BnZ, the jets aren't a bad choice.. (you wouldn't be allowed in my game, mind you ), but it's pretty hard to hit someone because of your speed. The 109-G6 isn't a bad choice because of it's crazy armament. BnZ is tricky because it's hard to do if your target is on to you. It's easy to just turn away and evade your gunfire. It's best to pick a target that's already engaged (i.e. chasing target, or being chased, don't worry about killstealing, people shouldn't complain too much), or a target that doesn't see you coming. However, as BoP is now, it's hard to get a lot of kills with BnZ, since most people fly agile turning planes.
