The best way to fly online is to get in the servers TS or Vent, that way its not so much every man for himself and you can coordinate with the other players. Makes it much more fun when you have 2-8 players on comms and you can fly around with some back-up instead of taking off and trying to fight alone. This greatly increases your chances of surviving in an online furball and increases your chances of a kill since the enemy may be more concerned with your wingmen than you for awhile. It also helps alot to be able to urgently let your flight know you have a bandit on your six and you will probably take a few hits and be rescued. The simplest online engagement totally blows the most complex offline one away soley for the fact that its you against a real "pilot" and not some AI jack-off. It can be daunting at first to step into multiplayer but it is completely worth it. Just remember, get in TS/Vent and USE IT! Let us know when you warming the engine, when your wheels are up and where you are at or going to be.


As for the complex CEM on any fighter plane, Bring it on!
