Hint: Switching between the full cockpit view (F1) and the gun-sight-only view
(F4) will allow you to track enemy threats accurately on the GCI gauge while
still offering maximum forward visibility. The game's clunky padlock view
won't permit you to "check six" as efficiently as the GCI gauge can, so toggle
back to it regularly and keep hitting the T key like a demon.
Hint: The huge blind spot behind your plane can be occupied by an enemy fighter
very quickly. It's best to keep wagging your plane back and forth when chasing
down an opponent because one of his wingmen may have slotted into a perfect
shooting position without your knowing about it.
Hint: Conserve your ammo! This is especially critical when flying the Heinkel
in the Spanish Civil War campaign because it will often take the entire
magazine to down a single enemy plane. (The damage modeling in the game can be
woefully off-target.)
