what works for me is not to chase the enemy ac. i fly slack...back behind the transports or the russian leaders son ( thats later on ).. a few hundred feet and take my shots at what hits their 6. if i take them out...great but i will settle for making them break off and not chase them. several of missions try to sucker you away from an objective by making you chase them all over the country side. so just saddle up behind a wing and have at it. the enemy fighters dont seem to bother shooting you down if you are there either.
