Gunnery: Deflection shooting. You will need a lot of practicing to do it good, but it's really useful in a dogfight.


Just a video, there is much more useful stuff on this forum and other places.

Good luck!

A lot of it just comes with practice...you will learn an 'instinct' for dogfighting, which only practice can give you.

Two basic tips would be to always maintain speed and altitude.
Don't turn too hard as this bleeds off speed.
Don't dive to the deck and linger for too long...always look to grab altitude whenever possible.

As noted above, learning deflection shooting will be of tremendous benefit as well.

Angels and Airspeed is a great read, and is written by an online player (think i seen him post in here yesterday lol). It takes a bit of time and its a steep learning curve but well worth it, I find going back to fps's boring as hell now, no other game has kept my intrest up as long as this sim (2003) and it never grows old as no two online missons are the same. COD has improved on it again and the imersion factor is awesome.
