Request tacticle help for USN planes

[ElAurens]

You have to fly the USN birds like a Bf 109 vs. a Yak.

Boom and Zoom.

And you MUST extend a LONG way before reengaging the Zero, as it's maneuverability will enable him to keep his guns on you.

It was said in the day that if you engaged a Zero 1 v 1 with a Wildcat you were outnumbered. The Wildcat also suffers because it's top speed in level flight is not as high as a Zero. Early on USMC commanders in the South Pacific even sent a panicked letter to the Navy requesting P40s as they were faster than the Zero, and much faster than the F4F.
