il let sailor malan 74 squadron explain his ten rules of combat....1 Wait until you see the whites of his eyes. Fire short bursts of one to two seconds only when your sights are definitely "ON".2 Whist shooting think of nothing else, brace the whole of your body: have both hands on the stick: concentrate on your ring sight.3 Always keep a sharp lookout. "Keep your finger out".4 Height gives you the initiative.5 Always turn and face the attack.6 Make your decisions promptly. It is better to act quickly even though your tactics are not the best. 7 Never fly straight and level for more than 30 seconds in the combat area.8 When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as a top guard. 9 INITIATIVE, AGGRESSION, AIR DISCIPLINE, and TEAM WORK are words that MEAN something in Air Fighting. 10 Go in quickly - Punch hard - Get out! **
my b.o.p rules
dont sit behind il2,il10,they will fly straight and play mw2 with the rear gunnner,watch your team mates ,they will shoot through you to get to your smoking target
try and fly with a bit of rudder at all times
barrel roll to lose airspeed or change angle of attack
