Author Notes:
  • When deploying airbrakes, be sure to set trim accordingly because the aircraft will pitch down. Try to not use it at higher speeds.
  • The internal gun has a delay when it wants to fire. Predict your opponent's movement carefully.
  • Please slow down, and deactivate AG8 if you want to start supermaneuvering.
