Air Combat Simulator Tactics and Maneuvers

Low Yo-Yo
Situation: | You're in a hard-turning, low-speed fight. You're too close for short-range missiles but you can't out-turn the enemy to line up for a gun shot. |
Maneuver: | • Let your upper wing come over and begin an inverted dive (1). |
• Roll out in the opposite direction and pull the nose up (2). | |
• Repeat the process until you pull in behind the enemy and can line up a gun shot (3). | |
Note: | This maneuver should not be performed at low altitude. |
Drop down inside the other aircraft's turn; then pull in behind for a possible shot.
