A Guide to Dogfighting - Part 5: Speed Control and Tactics

This is part 5 of the series "A Guide to Dogfighting. On the special wish of some users, it is explained how to best your speed in combat, and some tactics are shown.
I strongly recommend to use a Joystick when playing Flight Simulations.

Planes and Environment are IL-2 1946.

[BigSips]

just wondering what stick you recommend im looking into one and asking loads of sources first

[pdittrich]

@BigSips i started w/ a saitek x-1. lol but they don't sell that one no more. r8 now i use x-52, cost me a hundred something bucks but is worth every penny. got basically EVERY function in iL2 mapped on it, sometimes six per button. got a lower buget, like me ~10yrs ago? cyborg evo ($30 then) did the job.

generally, just take care it has (or in the end you have) throttle, coolie hat and at least 2 axis, 3 if u don't want to get rudder pedals. oh, and go HOTAS. that helps a lot.

you're welcome.
