How to dogfight like a crazy person.

Dear fellow pilot,

Guess what! Destroy897 has you covered with a guide to help keep him from shooting you to ribits... well, most of the time.

Anyway, you have a guy on your tail who is recking your team and you are next on his To Kill List but you are trying to fight him off or at least keep him from getting to many hits. Follow these steps and you will live! IF YOU DO NOT LIVE AND HAVE FOLLOWED ALL THESE STEPS YOU GET YOUR MONEY BACK

Step 1: Predict his movements.
If you know how he fights, you can use the next tactics effectively. Make sure to ALWAYS know your opponent with their skill set, experience, and their aircraft's capabilities. If you don't know them, then they will pull a trick on you and get you killed. Keep this is mind for later.

Step 2: Know your aircraft.
This step is also very important and I myself make this mistake of not knowing my aircraft and I end up paying the price. Make sure know your plane's speed, turning circle, armor, weapons, ect. and I mean everything. You need to know this because you need to keep your weakspots from the enemy and your strengths towards him. Yes combat ceiling matters too. If you don't know your plane's strengths and weaknesses, then you can pretty much tell your plane good bye. Make sure to know how well your plane turns too which brings us to our next step.

Step 3: Always maneuver.
In order to always stay ut of your oppenents gunsight, make sure to always make your plane twist and turn. If he shoots, pull hard. If he is lining up for a shot, spin then turn away from him. Ih he is coming on you fast, slow down quickly. If he is directly on you and holding down the trigger, spin your aircraft in a circle AKA the barrel roll. If he is attacking from the side, turn into him to put him on the deffensive. If your plane is more armored than his, attack him head on. If your plane is better in a climb then go skyward. If your plane is better at diving then dive for the ground. If your plane is better a turning, put him in a turning fight. If your plane is faster than him, then well run from him. As you can see, do something that will throw him off and then take that moment to get away from him or to take the advantage over him.

As you can see these three easy steps will help in battle and make you a warrior of the skies.

Sicerely,
Destroy897

"Study your plane in order to have an advantage": test the aircraft to the limits in some battles,check the WT wiki for info about it,pros and cons of the guns,aircraft,Etc. Some Aircraft are more forgiving than other,like the Mk-V Spitfires or the P39/P63 family
