From what I've read, slashing attacks were probably more common than the dogfighting seen in movies, etc., or at least were more popular with many of the great aces of the war. And from my experience in the virtual world, one pass from high altitude on an unsuspecting/vulnerable target is much more preferable to several minutes of both parties maneuvering into a firing position. It might look cool, but it can get way out of hand in a hurry.
Hmm, I need to get a decent joystick again, I haven't played Il-2 in so long it almost hurts
