    I've been playing this game for over a year and still haven't discovered the secret of avoiding low level AA. I see guys flying backwards and forwards through it straight and level it at less than 4000' with impunity yet whenever I go near it (yes weaving etc etc) I last about 10 seconds!

    Any advice would be gratefully received.

    Thanks,

    Hi!

    I think all you need is speed+heavy turning and some luck of course. 250mph or more is nice. 20mm acks are most dangerous imho: 40mm and greater hit seldom, 12mm is popcorn [​IMG] Also never go straight HO with 20mm, keep turning and spray short burst when near enough, then turn again. Also never fly over 20mm, turn and dive to deck keeping on turning all the time. All else than 20mm acks can be killed in HO I think.
    I use attacking angle of about 30-40 degrees depending on my speed... Hope this helped [​IMG]
