a few more tips i can give for gunnery at high speeds
when behind and moving in close keep sights below till at around 300m. then aim above where their top is
this is hard to explain but aim where you think they will pull up ( as most evasive maneuvers are a pull up)
then just as you notice them pulling up fire, u should be around 100-200m away so its enough room to compensate for the shot a bit
this requires alot of practice and u need to learn to anticipate what he will do but it bworks wonders in high speed interception
if he does not break before you cross 150m then just aim directly at him till he breaks off or preferably ignites and is roasted extra crispy
this tactic is temporarily countered by pushing down on the stick but if he does that easy eblly shott, all you loose is a few sec@onds
as for high angle shots llike from the side its just a matter of anticipation and shooting ahead of where he is
no real tricks to it, just lots of practice, harder if hes not flyin straight ahead
and as for the bf109 id reccomend the g2, it has most preformance of the early ones but turn radius and also has enough firepower to kill most
f4 and f2 with the 20mm field mod is next up, g6 and up are terrible at turn fighting and g6 or g6 late is bad at high altitude where the g2 will outrun outclimb ect
the k4 is noot bad but ive never really liked it too much as it forces me to use the 108 and has beyond crap turn radius
anyways this tactic is bigger needed for the fw190 as it cant keep a sustained turn with anything buut at high speed
but most of all practice, this works for me, but u might find a better tactic or a different one that works
and if you like the 30mm death ray then give at least twice the lead, very slow rounds that take a long time to reach the bandit
and try to fly the enemy plane against ai, itll help you determine its advantages or disadvantages, then exploit em like nothing else
also about how to exploit cliimbing and speed, just keep your nose up a bit and throttle at a reasonable 85-90% in climb to not overheat very fast
and lower throttle to 50-60ish in a steep dive or 70 if shallow
just dont exceed 700 ina dive as anything more rips u apart....and dont climb to rapidly or to shallow, rapid climb is mainly if you want to do a hammerhead, not too useful otherwise as u become slow and potentially get hit
also pick 2 or so planes to get good with, only fly the rest occasionally as its very hard to get good in every plane
although 109s are all similar so whether its a f2 or a k4 all that changes are top speed, climb rate, and turn rate, late ones more imp to stay fast, earlys u can outturn a few planes and most late war ones
