I need lesson on how to fly X_X

[zeinstruktor]

It's usually over quite quickly when a fighter/bomber with a sunslayer tries to face me:)


I have Train CDs on all my bombers.

While fighting a bomber in a VHF, the trick is -never- to joust... Slide at a different angle to the direction the bomber is headed, and he/she will find you rather tough to hit with a supernova...

NEVER box against a bomber... it's asking for a torp.

Anchor turns are your friend in any fighter class combat...
You can end up somewhere totally unexpected for your opponent with clever use of the reverse key.

My Xeno taiidan has four black widows, supernova and a train CD... My worst nightmare is light fighters, who are always so close to you that you never really have time to line up a supernova. Maybe if you're struggling against bombers, try getting an LF to cope.

My suggestion is if you're fighting a LF in a bomber against anyone whos got an idea what they're doing is to run away, fast. The only thing I've seen kill a skillful LF pilot is a capital ship, and I've watched him face 4 bombers by himself an win. Once you can dodge mines in a light fighter you are invincible.

And that's very interesting Joe, I never knew about anchor turns. I'll have to try it out.

Oh, and don't joust.

Yup, I am staying away from bombers! Sunslayers are my life and breath.

Anyway, I recommend using the d key and the a key to strafe.

Xelgion, you have done a marvelous thing. Eppy is begging for mercy, in full caps.

Don't joust, never let it get in a straight shot. Take advantage of your superior maneuverability. Use weapon groupings, and try to hit it from behind whenever possible.
