Dogfighting tips
hey guys, I'm looking for tips on dogfighting. Specifically if I'm in a Ki-84 how I should engage a Spitfire. Many thanks.

Get out of the Ki84 and into a Spitfire, get behind him line him up in your sights and shoot.

One little bit of advice:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicta_Boelcke Written in WW1 but still accurate for WW2, in particular number three...that's the one I always slip up on. Also worth reading, linked from that article are rules by Malan and Mannock. However, Tarjaks excellent links are the best for IL2 particulars . |

Ki-84 handles well in low speeds so you could try maneuvering so your speeds gets low enough so the Spit have to give up the chase or risk overshooting you in which case a quick move back to his arse might give you some free hits.

True but if the Spit pilot has his wits about him he'll use his speed to climbe away and then zoom and boom you so, it will be a tough fight. Depending on the mark of spit it is of course.
