a good reading

I found this a while ago on M4T's website, never saved it, looked it up again.
Even though it is for a different game there is very valuable information in the document about combat flying in general.

Just looked up the for purchase version on amazon......and ordered it, yeah yeah I know, I could just print the pdf, but all those loose pages are too difficult to handle when reading sitting in the throne room.
A book is much nicer in that respect.

Oldie and goodie.

When I read the pdf for the first time quite a while ago, think it was for IL2 1946, the part I liked most was the phsycological evaluation of what pilots/ sim pilots do and why and why mistakes happen.
Found it more helpful than for example the section about combat maneuvers.

Really interesting stuff.

Great read, thanks for posting.

I started on the pdf a while ago, but because of school i stopped at about 1/4 of way. but now seeing u post it again I'm gonna start on where i left off.
this is definitely worth spending time in, as this will definitely help u get an advantage in online combat.

Another classic written for real world fighter pilots back in 1985.

Saw that one as well, Ataros, should have ordered it at the same time, would have gotten free shipping .

Ah well, later.....

Got the book today, can only recommend it to anyone who would like to have a broader picture of sim flying.
It is pretty universally aplicable for any flying sim, even RoF with WWI planes.

i think that was orginally for ww2 online.

i still play the land game, but i gave up on flying in it years ago when i discovered il2.
