This is why I say to start simple in cooperative training with small speed differences. You can learn things that let you go on to bigger speed differences.

edit-add: for one thing, when you learn by doing you don't get hung up over terms.

Remember that rising slows you down, descending speeds you up, any maneuver more than 2G wastes speed. Have patience, don't get suckered into losing your speed advantage over a quick solution that slows you down.

At huge speed differences you can't stay behind without breaking contact for many seconds at a time and as I stated before, you risk the vict.. errr, target getting enough energy to take some initiative on you.

Do the first things before trying to speculate on more advanced tactics.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Host a coop with invulnerable planes, unlimited ammo and ARCADE=1 to show where shots hit. Get someone to fly drone circles (no dodging, this is for TRAINING) at reduced throttle and another to work out staying behind while moving on average a bit faster while getting the occasional shot in.
Until you can do that you simply won't see how to begin to handle more.

Remember to take turns being target and pursuit.
