I felt sorry for those newbs

Anyway that is good advice from Blackdeath.
Don't forget you can look at the map too to acertain between friend and foe. When I boom and zoom I check before the dive that the spoted plane is red on the map. If there is red and green together, I try to spot both planes then match their positions on the map which tells me whether my friend is chasing or being chased and then I attack the enemy (or leave him if my friend is about to finish him).

Yeah the stuka only has landing flaps, but I'm pretty sure the I-16 , I-153 and Po-2 have NO flaps and also no trimmer.

Thats one thing I like about the Mustang, is it is one of the few planes to have aileron trim so you can negate the torque of the engine.
