The easiest kills are after you spawn. Especially if everyone is in a turning fight on the deck while you have spawned at 3-4,000 ft. That gives you the energy and time to pick who you want, close on them very quickly and shoot them down.
If it looks like I'm going to over shoot, I close the throttle, climb at 20-30 degrees and half roll inverted, ready that once my airspeed has slowed enough to pull back on the stick to slot back behind the enemy and roll back to normal.
If I get in a line and I'm chasing someone but an enemy slots in behind me I break instantly, I don't chase someone down allowing myself to be shot at. The good thing about breaking and doing a 360 degree turn in a line chase is you often end up at the back of the line.
Always use your rudder, a) to help with roll rate, your plane will roll much quicker with a bit of rudder applied as well. Not too much or too violent though or you will enter a spin. And b) never fly straight and level, use the rudder to slip from side to side when heading in a given direction, to an enemy it appears you are flying straight but the slip with make it harder for the enemy to hit you by predicting by looking at your orientation the correct place to lead aim.
Know the strengths and weaknesses of the different aircraft, then look for easy kills, avoiding danger as much as possible.
