Quite a few members of the aviation community have responded and some have given some very useful tips - check it out and drop a message in the thread with any of your own ideas.

At what height is it best to fly to avoid detection?

v400 feet, tops. Come in straight down on the AA site and blow the stupid guy who thinks just because AA's improved its going to stop you from flying.[/b]

When coming in for a bombing dive, do u drop in, or fly straight and level?

Drop in. Straight and level you're not going to kill anything unless you've gunned him past half health. 30 degrees for bombers, 40+ for fighters.

What do you think is the best time to relase those bombs?

Pipper straight, 1 second before you directly on top. It takes 'feel', get used to it.

When engaging in a dog fight, and you've got no flares. What do you do? movement wise.

Drop and twist FIRST. Never pull up, that's the most common mistake. You're slower when you pull up. Drop and twist very sharply watching your '6 all the time. Then do what I call the mid-air S. Start a loop, on the pinnacle level up and loop again, you'll be making a perfect S upwards. Very difficult to follow, but note: do NOT do this if you're already flying at 300-400, you'll risk whitewash.

If no one on the ground helps you by spotting enemy planes, but feel a spot couldve stopped you from being blown away, how does that make you feel?

Fucked up. P.S. Learn to spot the planes as you're chasing them yourself.

If you fly with a mouse, what tips do you have to share?( dont wanna hear anything about joysticks)

Get a bigger mousepad. Barracuda Juggernaut or Everglide Titan owns for plane flying. Raise you sensitivity, get a 1600 dpi mouse. Anything to make your plane more responsive.

The best plane in the game??

Any bomber, and the J-10.
