Some of you may already know about this trick, but it is still really useful;

If you look to the top left corner of the cockpit while flying a jet on any console or on PC, there will be a little box with the speed you are going at. When your in a dogfight, try and keep this speed at around 300-315mph and you will perform much tighter turns. It is really useful, and it will help you win a lot more dogfights.

My TV is to small to see it :frown: otherwise i would fly jets more.

Haha, my tv is also tiny and not hd so I can't see the speed, but you can "feel" where the best turn speed is. Eventually, you just know how fast to go without looking at the speed, you just need to mess around in the jets alot.

My tip would be not to bail-out because you CAN land and repair a disabled jet, this is why I almost never go down lol.

Whatever floats your boat, but I already knew this. Though it should be useful for those peeps out there who don't know.

I've known this for a while, but its an essential tip for dogfighting. Also, the best speed to turn at is 310-315 MPH to be more precise.

What helps me, is breaking hard, then using the boosters, whilst turning and adjust between both, you tend to go turn tighter also.

I think they should disable eject when the jet is disabled unless it's on the ground.

That is the single most annoying thing, and biggest b**** move, that you can do. Only complete idiots fall for the whole circle **** anyway; if your enemy wants to lock you in infinite circles then just go up into loops. It requires more skill to maintain a tight and fast loop, and most novice (b****) pilots can't keep up with them, so you win the dogfight.
