    keep doing that over and over if you have sombody on ur tail u cant shake and they become bored and fly off, then ur patience pays off because ur now the person doing the chasing ^_^

      I was just going to say that exact same thing Mohawk.

      Major mistake of many novice combat aviators, they dont use the vertical. Flat turns only bleed energy and should be avoided under most situations, the usual exception being obtaining a firing solution.

      Speed is energy, altitude is energy. Slow and low is dead. Maintain a high energy state at all times, and work to regain it at all times.

        works every time. i just fly high into the clouds and they cant see me, best thing to do man.

        basically just fly straight up and then come right back down, it sounds stupid and noobish but if you lose them, then you get on their tail, is that bad? no...
