I need to understand some of the basic tactics for dogfighting. I am in the training session 3, and find that unless I can shoot the enemy plane down as it is immediately incoming (ie. as it leaves its base) that I cannot maneuver adequately to get him into my sights again. I try to "follow the little red arrow", but it never catches up with the plane. I end up spinning in circles and loops, but never get the plane in my sights. HELP!

Secondly, on the bombing run at the airfield, is it best to try to take out the air defenses first? I inadvertently blew up one of the tanks/gun emplacments with my machine guns on one attempt, and realized this was potentially very beneficial.

Finally, I find it difficult to land at my base without crashing, even though I am perfectly aligned with the airstrip, and have reduced my airspeed to ~100 mph. I have managed, but by luck alone. Any tips?

To turn hard, you need to crank your phone hard. Reallu hard. Don't play anywhere where you'd be embarassed to tilt your phone up over your face, because you'll need to! Also, center the controls so your phone is tilted forward as much as you can stand (and fly level reliably enough for straight on attacks), so you don't have to totally invert your phone for full up elevator.

Feather throttle when landing. Keep your thumb on it, get slow enough to grease but not so slow as to bounce.

Not sure about the rest, been a while since I trained.

In all honesty I never got past Mission 3. The snow is awful

Ok u said you were goin 100 mph when u landed by the time you touchdown you should be gliding like less than 20mph or else the fource of impact is to much.

Mission 5 is the worst.

It's been awhile since I played the missions but the best way I found to shoot down the enemy planes was to go head to head st full throttle and then just keep flying straight after you pass. I couldn't out turn them but I could out run them so once you get some distance between you again turn around for another head to head pass.
As far as the landing goes you're trying to land too fast. I always cut my throttle completely off to land. I usually just glide in by giving it alot of up elevator till my plane just stolls a few feet above the runway. Also don't brake till you speed almost reads zero our you'll flip.

If you won't to out turn the planes in mission you need to put the sensitivity to full othere wise they stay on you all the time and for landing come in very slow 100 will kill you.

Thanks. It seemed to help. I can get through the first 4 training missions. can't protect the transport though. Any thoughts?

Any suggestions for mission 5? I can get 3 of the 4 enemy fighters, but haven't managed to get all 4 before they pop the tranport. Halve the time I dont know where the transport is. It doesn't show up on the radar.

i completed all the missions before i did multiplayer

In mission 5 I've found you have to go and get the first two you see. You have to take them out quick because you don't what to lose touch with escort which will be under attack by enemy. If your close enough # 3 will be attacking and a easy kill. If you get this far stay with escort and take out # 4. I usually didn't make it and the few I did the escort and I were pretty beat up. Good luck!
