If you barrel roll towards the attacker, during a head on pass, you are impossible to hit. This was a common RAF ace tactic.
At a well timed moment, timing being a matter of skill here, pull a "Split S" or "Immelmann" (stall turn) and you will end up smack on the tail of the dumb smuck..... then it's a matter of shooting straight.
I've lost count of the number of players I've caught with this trick, some repeatly in the same game.
Seriously, if one wants to be better than good in this game, one needs to read up a lot about dogfighting tricks and stunts, especially those of the WW1 aces.
