What are your experiences when you played either CFS or IL2 online?
Me, in IL-2, I had a guy on my tail and I was flying a few feet off the ground while this guy was gaining on me and shooting on me.
So, I had to act quickly. His plane is superior to mine in speed and turning. I spotted this bridge up ahead and I thought to myself - let's do it Ozzy style.
I went completely inverted and was about to go under the bridge before the player behind me asked what the heck I was doing. I made it through.
But then, just after passing through, my Norton Virus Scan started its weekly schedule of a full system scan. By the time I managed to switch back to IL-2, my plane crashed and my friend then asked what the heck happened.
Sucks, huh?
Flying low and fast is one of best defenses if I want to retreat as fast as possible. It makes it hard for the players to shoot me. And to successfully shoot me down meant that you ran a high risk of crashing into the ground.
This tactic worked for me everytime.
