Hello everyone. Another n00b reporting for duty. I've got a few questions about dogfighting that i wanted to ask the vets. I'm actually much more comfortable as a fighter pilot then I am as a commander, even though I like both careers. I tried the search on the forum and I haven't found anything relevant so I'm assuming this topic hasn't been covered yet.
I just wanted tips on how to take out other fighters/shuttles. I can take out the bigger crusiers and carriers easily, but taking on other figthers is a pain since I have a very hard time trying to get a lead on them. I do as the manual says: cut the power on the guns so the firing rate increases, hit the match speed button, lock on with missiles, etc. Is it just a matter of patience, or is there any other tips and tricks to make taking them out easier?
