Shoot me for saying this, but these manouvers are just theoretical in the online dogfight.
You need to choose your tactics depending upon each setting and opposing aircraft.
Barrell roll, yo yo, Immelmann, loop, split s.
Sure I use them, but dont get stuck in the theory of these.
It all depends on your position in the fight.

First of all, learn to read the Radar, then take an GOOD overview of the battlefield to analyze the ongoing dogfights.

What you need to care for is:

Speed, allways maintain a high airspeed. Dont forget the physics and laws of gravity.
(dont perform a loop if your speed is to low with an enemy in a flat attack angel behind you, you will be a sitting duck.)

Orientation of enemy, who to target and when.
If attacking, where is the closest enemy, whats his speed and his direction of flight.

If attacked, where is the enemy, whats his direction and his angle of attack.

Aim and shoot, practice your aiming skills. Know where to shoot.

Keep track of your wingman, remember why its called team battle.


and at last and the most important one:

RUN FROM THE WOOKIE

Or as said from someone else, always keep the wookie infront of you

Good hunting
