I like to be the bait in a drag an bag. I go full power in a large radius turn keeping the speed high and steer the enemy plane straight towards Evangelous who then finishes them off with no mercy while Bucketman watches his back.

I also try the stall fighting manuver but find this doesn't work so well in BoP because the bullets are not so effected by gravity (bloody lazer bullets) so you usually end up dead if you stay in a climb for long with someone behind. I find in BoP its better to go into a steep climb and stall first if you are being chased, that way if you don't die the guy might overshoot and you can dive and get away - or sometimes you can stall turn and then suddenly be facing the enemy in a head to head shot.

I wouldn't mind radar to give me an idea of enemy altitude and heading.then maybe a friendly squadron high and looking down on my six and and two squad mates watching low and to the flanks.
