1. Don't forget about your wingmen. Don't constantly charge into battle ahead
of them, or hang back and let them fight alone. The best way to get an enemy
fighter off your tail is to have your wingman take it out. You will also find
that enemies focused on nailing another allied pilot are easy pickings.
2. When you're escorting bombers try to stay close, until an enemy appears.
When the bad guys make a showing, don't be afraid to stick it to them.
Engaging as far away from the bomber flight as possible is usually the best
strategy.
3. Always remember the goals of your mission. You won't win just by racking up
a record number of kills. Success is based on the accomplishment of mission
goals (but lots of kills certainly won't hurt).
4. If your plane is damaged and you can't shake a hostile fighter, try heading
for a friendly ship. If you can make it close enough, that enemy fighter's in
for an unpleasant surprise.
5. Don't fire heatseekers when your allies are in front of you. Unless, of
course, you're really sick of listening to them.
