You suck.

I have a strategy for downing enemy aircraft. I am not going to give it away, for one reason.

I have yet to lose a dogfight. I'm not kidding. I was downed by an enemy once, when I was concentrating on Elmo's Armored Car (READ: Prowler tank) and someone jumped me from behind. Excellent strategy.

Just a few minutes ago I beat down a MOSQUITO. You are supposed to be running circles around Reavers, damnit! Use that turning ability! Elmo tried to run, but I nailed him.

So I'll give a few tips to you, without giving away my edge. No, it's not hax.

TIPS:

1: Never, never fly straight when in a dogfight. Are you listening, Mr. Mosquito that I just downed?
2: Altitude is life. If you are so high that they cant see you, you can pounce on them.
3: Do not be afraid to land, get out a Gauss/Cycler/Whatever and help with taking a base. It gets you lots of BEPs. I rarely see people do this, most just go to the next enemy base.
4: Reaver pilots: Never, NEVER attack with rockets against an air target. The only thing you MIGHT do this against is a Galaxy. A Liberator is too fast.
5: Mosquito pilots: You outturn Reavers. Make use of it.
6: Position is key to winning a dogfight. If you can see your opponent first, or attack him from the sides or 6 O'Clock, you pretty much have a guaranteed win.
7: Do not attack a base alone. Wall turrets are nasty oppnonents.

Of course, if you're NC and join my outfit, I'll give you the 8th tip, the withheld tip.

By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
