That's naughty, I got kicked for doing that.

My favorite BnZ tactic that works almost always when you encounter a TnB pilot:
Fly head on to the enemy plane, when they try to shoot you dive underneath their plane. Then pull into a steep climb and after you've climbed a good distance over your origonal hight slide over into a dive. Almost always the TnB pilot will start turning on the same alititued when you dive under them, so this manuver will put you in a high energy dive on a low energy truning or confused pilot. He'll be moving so slow you're going to tear him up 9/10 times.
