3. Using stall wisely
4. Never do silly move, like open your tail voluntarily and do a 1s1 to try to fool other ACE
5. Save oil
6. Always fight on your half
7. Plan fuel ahead and turning home at the right time and right moment. Kamikaze is not enouraged.
8. Forget about the stat. Be present, focus on the enjoyment of flight/dogfight only.
9. Never Give up
10. Don't cheat and be gentle to everyone.


On runners, don't get caught in furballs (i.e. close range turning). Adopt a "sweep" tactic: start from afar, close distance, fire, run away, turn at a safe distance, repeat.

Teamwork is capital. Two ways to do it: all togheter and 1-2.
Alltogheter you work in parallel with your teammates, either to cover more FoF or to concentrate fire by stacking.
1-2 you work in sync, wingman some hexes after leader. Leader does a fire pass, then, while leader get past foe and does 29 or 30, wingman does a fire pass. If you keep sync, foe is "caught in the middle like wednsday". Look at war movies and watch infantry do: A covers while B runs, then B stops and covers A and so on...

To tell the truth, runners CAN dance, but is a dificult and dangerous affair: all 2S1 and {29S2|30{L|R}2}. Try it oly 1 vs 1, don't if there are other foes near: you can easily be caught at speed 1 and be a lame duck. Be warned: I'm no greenhorn, but I discovered it just recently.
