Okay other than trims and such though, anything else I should map out or learn to use real well?? Any tips on shooting?? IM playing with realistic bullet path on now so they curve as Im pulling on the stick so its a PITA to hit things haha.

Fly with labels on so you see the distance to the enemy, sooner or later you start to remember the distances by looking how big the enemy plane is in your sights.

Do all planes have sights?? Because I flew the me 262 for fun and realized it doesn't have one. I also realized how ridiculously powered the jet is. I mean I dropped 2 b - 17s in like seconds. I always run against two b 17s to just fly new planes and fly them around and get a grip on them and such.

Press Shift-F1.

Most German fighters have off-center gunsights for some reason, so you have to switch the view to use them.

4 Mk108 30mm machine cannons.

That's about as much fire power as you will get in a WWII fighter. Not comparable to the .50 Cal. peashooters. It was designed to knock down heavy bombers (and therefore Hitler thought it would be a good idea to use it mainly as a fighter bomber....well he knew best of course....).
