1) Use the MACHINE GUN Vs EVERYTHING except for buildings. I constantly see newbies shooting missles at the orcas and they never hit. The machine gun is so much easier to aim, and is a constant stream of damage.

2) AIM HIGH! When in combat with another copter, dont shoot your machine gun while moving forward, because this causes the gun to point downward. DO move backwards when firing because you will aim higher, and hit from farther away.

3) STRAFE! hitting ctrl and the arrow keys will cause you to strafe in an aircraft. Its very usefull.

4) If your being whooped in the air, fly low to the ground because you DO NOT have a parachute.

5) When attacking tanks on the ground, fly directly overhead of them, and shoot with your machine gun. This makes it imposible for them to shoot you, because tanks turrets cant go up at a 90 degree angle.

If I think of any other things, ill post em. Happy flying.
