1st thing is to think :
1/what ammount of firing do i need to down the target ? What to aim ?
2/How much steady time do i need to deliver that amount ?
3/what position can i afford considering ennemy defences (gunners) ?

From the answer to these questions you'll bring an answer to the main one
"what should be my position relative to target when i shoot ?"

If the desired postion is above target, you will choose to approach from the high side, ahead of target following parallel course, and aim well ahead of target for a firing solution slightly ahead of target.

If the desired position is "low six and steady", you will dive on target while keeping it in the upper part of your windshield, where it won't disappear during the dive (you will have to shallow this dive continuously to keep target in this position). Then you'll come from below with a shallow angle, aim slightly ahead of target and deliver your fire while pushing the stick constantly (and slightly) for the lenght of your burst, in order to keep the same firing solution.

If the solution is "from below with a high angle", in the final stage of the dive you'll let target pass above your windshield while diving really deep under.

When target is going past your vision angle, start climb, aiming far ahead target, and fire early while pushing the stick to keep your firing solution. Avoid target early on its side, aiming to take space fast on the side because with your slow speed after climb you'll be a very good target for ennemy gunners.

Good luck
