I recall reading where British Pilots during the BOB would YAW their aircraft during combat to throw off attackers.

When player is flying at YAW to left or right it would be a help, if AI were deceived.
Now the AI follows the programs mathematical trajectory of the enemy aircraft, regardless of YAW. YAW means nothing against AI attackers. Yawing can work Online, where real people are shooting at each other.

This way, if enemy was attacking them the pilots wanted the enemy to plan on targeting ahead of the aircraft by viewing the way the aircraft was positioned more than the actual path the aircraft was flying.

If the attacker wasn’t paying close attention, they would not get good shots on the aircraft they were attacking.

If player turns YAW position then application would cause Ai Attackers to plan attack on the player at the place expected from the direction of the YAW the player is facing, not the mathmatical trajectory the program describes.

I don’t think this would be necessary, except in the case of the player or player flight.

This way evasive maneuvers would be enhanced for the player, similar to real world situations.
