Light Fighter Combat Tactics

[BaconSoda]

I prefer Ripper Mines. You know, the ones that don't insta-kill you but do 11,000 damage.

But, I use them sparingly. I usually pretend to joust first pass, then turn early. I missed some 1-2 seconds of jousting time, but I can stay on their tail now. By staying close and strafing around, I can make the person Ekill and drop a mine as I pass close or just rip them up with guns, and this is their folly, as you said. But in the same way, it is their savior.

The main thing I have found in a LF is that you can't get dragged into a joust. It's easy to let the person joust you as he Ekills, since you can't catch up to him, as you can in a bomber vs GB or something, but you can never let him.

Another thing I like to do is if I can't stay on the guy's tail, I let him think he is on my tail (Let him stay behind me and turn sharply), and then I can out-turn him. Eventually he will Ekill again, and then I repeat. It takes longer if I hustle them, but, it's more fun sometimes. :D
