If you barrel roll towards the attacker, during a head on pass, you are impossible to hit. This was a common RAF ace tactic.

At a well timed moment, timing being a matter of skill here, pull a "Split S" or "Immelmann" (stall turn) and you will end up smack on the tail of the dumb smuck..... then it's a matter of shooting straight.

I've lost count of the number of players I've caught with this trick, some repeatly in the same game.

Seriously, if one wants to be better than good in this game, one needs to read up a lot about dogfighting tricks and stunts, especially those of the WW1 aces.

WW1 aces???


not really! those were bi planes and SERIOUSLY CRAP. this is a WW2 game and luckily for us WW2 has already happened, so we get the benefit of reading up about WW2 aces and how they approaches situations in the aircraft we are flying.

A common RAF practise with the head on pass was also -DONT GET IN A HEAD ON PASS if it can be helped as the 109/190 will out gun you and is slightly more powerful.

Pulling th split S or immelmann wont help you get on the guys 6 either, because he knows what he's doing. Whether he's a rookie or an ace, if he's going head on and doesnt destroy you then he's likely going to go for another pass, you as you do your split s or immelmann, he's also pulling the same stunt so he can come at you again.

Mate it really doesnt work on here.

Actually it is, if you hit him with gunfire just before you crash into him.

Sometimes though, It means that Im attacking from an angle and the teammate may get a a round or two in him if hes not so great at manourvering in close.
Hmmm, your definition of wingman is different to mine. I consider it the wingman's job to keep the lead's 6 clear, not wait until he has to bug out to scavenge his kill.
