I don't think this is worth wasting your time on. have been flying this sim online for a dozen years or so and there are much easier methods and explanations.
Just because someone writes a book does not mean anything, lots of dummies write books, and WWII pilots don't have anywhere near the hours of combat experience a lot of il2 pilots have.
Try this for beginners: If you are approaching a target at a high rate of speed from above, don't fly right at him fly at a point to either side of him several plane lengths. If you fly to his left side and he breaks left then he will fly right in front of your cannons. If he breaks right then he helps you because you can fit a larger radius turn into the space he makes between you and him that will not lose you energy.
Even better: Most targets that see you coming from their high six will try to zoom up at you for a head on shot or after they make you miss and shoot at you as you pass or gain some E. Fake them out by zooming back up smoothly as soon as they break, they will zoom up after you for a shot but you will be looping back out of range while they are shooting and you will come down on them right as they lose E and fall away from you at almost zero speed for an easy shot.
Practice practice practice is the best thing, the new AI is great for this. NO matter what you do, if it takes any thought then it is taking too long. You should be able to do the job without thinking at all.
