Well my tip is think like the enemy. If you shoot what might be their reaction and be prepared to take it. Also it depends on their rank. A lower rank might not evade

Aim a few plane lengths ahead of the plane you're shooting at. You have to factor in the bullet velocity, speed of your plane, speed of enemy plane, wind direction, angle of momentum and the corriolis force :ohmy: how'd you think those old ww2 aces did it w/out those fancy shmancy computers son? Now get in there and do some damage! :angry:

been Noushed lately?

an up and down motion is not a very successful method of evade on approach as the enemy will be shooting at you and motioning up and down too.Best moveing left or right and then line up again.
When an enemy is moving alot and corkscrewing you have to think one step ahead and shoot where you think they will be a second or so later.Leave a trail of bullets in the line you think they will take.
