Since any video game will understandibly have a very limited field of vision, I almost always lose sight of my opponent when I try to yo-yo at speed. With this game I find that the only way to change direction quickly is to back off throttle sharply for just a split second as I enter the turn, then add power as soon as I can once my turn is established. This is one aspect of flight sim games that is decidedly UN-realistic, as one would almost never reduce power in a live aircraft in actual combat, and one would certainly never abuse a turbo-charged piston aircraft engine the way we do all the time in BoP. I also never heard of "combat flaps" before I started playing video games. The Spitfire for example had split flaps with only 2 settings, full up or down 90 degrees. Why would anyone add the drag of a split flap before entering combat? All this game play add on stuff may take away from the realism, but it is also fun so what the heck.
