Notes: You can drop bombs while upside-down. It won't kill you.
Heat-Seeking missiles lock onto hot targets including the oil tower things at Zatar Wetlands/Gulf of Oman.
=============================================================================== 3e. Evasion ===============================================================================
i. Evasion with Flares
There is only one effective way to do this. Do you notice the slight difference between the missile warning tones? There are two kinds of the missile warning tone: 1.) The lock-on warning ,and, 2.) The Missile alert tone. The first one goes like this: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. While the latter goes like : BEEEEEEEP. Notice the difference now? The trick is to drop your flares 3 seconds after the missile alert tone. Try practicing this at the singleplayer map Operation Clean Sweep. But, it is proven that we humans are not perfect, and sometimes we screw up, so you might want to check the next part.
ii.Evasion without Flares
OK, This might sound like the most difficult part, but it's not. The best tactic to outrun missiles without the help of flares is to TURN LIKE CRAZY. Barrel rolling does not work against missiles but is effective against inaccurate machinegun fire, but that's another story. Your afterburners do work effectively and your turning abilities increase. Again, the best way to get better is to practice. *NOTE* Pitching down will increase your speed.

4a. Landing
This is easy once you get the hang of it. When you land, you should be going straight:
| | Like this | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ^ | | | | | YOU | | | | | | |
When you touch down, start pounding on S HARD until you come to a complete stop.
4b. Useful Moves
i. Immelman Turn This is a useful and easy trick to dodge an incoming missile. First, pull up until you are upside-down, return to your normal state,
From this To This __________ __________> __/----\____ \____/ ------ \ ------------/ (plane's nose and cockpit) Then keep turning. I'm sorry if I suck at english. (vv)
ii. Barrel Rolling
The easiest trick ever, just hold the <- or -> key. Use it to avoid machinegun fire.
iii.MG aiming thing (submitted by Pvt.Falcon) In case your using the machinegun/minigun its best to take some height and then dive in on the target, but obviously not to steep, and pull up in time.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6. Your Rivals +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i. Other Planes
Basically, other planes are your numero uno rival cause they are almost the same as you. There are two ways to deal with this, one is to get behind him and shoot him down, and the second is to make him collide with the ground/water/tree/whatever. Be patient, look behind often, and remember: "Lose sight, lose the fight."
ii. AA Systems
This is a real threat to attackers since you hafta fly low to hit your targets with bombs. Take it out by shoving a bomb into the stinger/IGLA/CIWS while they're reloading.
iii. M95 Snipers
Due to the fact that their rifles penetrate glass make them a threat to pilots who just hopped in their planes. But don't worry, they won't be able to shoot you dead whilst in flight. Take em' out - personally.
=============================================================================== 8. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) =============================================================================== 1.Q: My plane is going wild, and I can't control it! What the heck happened?! A: Well basically, you've made a BIG screw up that (i think) is called a stall.This happens when you go too high and fast and you don't descend immediately. S: You can gain control again by releasing the W key for a short while. When you do that, your plane will descend and you will regain control.
2.Q: Well, how do I prevent this "stall" you speak of? A: Avoid going high with afterburners on.
3.Q: How can I lock on to ground tgts. with my LGMs? A: Keep your prey inside the box for a few secs. and fire away. Tell your pilot over the VOIP ( If you have a headset ) to fly straight to make life alot more easier.
