Im having trouble "filling my sight" with the enemy planes..... My best bet is to pop a few long range shots, 70-80 meters, and slow them down a bit. Nothing better than hitting them once or twice, then flying close enough to see a Diamler-Benz not spinning!! Horray, easy kill now!! Personal style I guess, the game still seems "jumpy" when I try and get one lined up in close.... Guess just practice..

Well going up against 109s, you want to get them so that they'll get into a turning fight. That fight, you are sure to win. The I-16 could out turn any German 109. At least the early E, F, and G2s. Not sure if it went up against G6s since they were sorta phased out. But what I do against the Heinkel, is my of own little genius. What I do, is fly at a altitude where I'm below the 109s, but above the Heinkel. Dive on the Heinkel, firing at the first one in your sights. Then just let them pass, don't level off or anything. The 109s by this time will be chasing you, but since your at a lower altitude, you can easily get away and get on their six. That's if you get one on your tail. But if you don't pass the Heinkel bombers, then without climbing to their altitude, just enough so their in gun range, fire at the first couple, downing them hopefully before making a rolling dive towards the earth, the 109s will probably be tangling with some of the other I-16s at the lower altitude, so they should be easy pickings. Just keep it below 5-6,000 feet and you should be good.

Those interested in hearing what a I-16 RATA sound like for real, when it starts. Here you go. I'm still trying to find an authentic Yak-3, without the Allison.
