I dunno if this applies to PR physics, but in a traditional guns-only fight, you WANT your bandit to 'evade' as you say. You want to force him to maneuver, to turn, wasting energy, leaving him low and slow. As long as you anticipate his moves, maintain your E, and he's not turning towards another group of bandits, you're still in control of the fight. At the very least you're keeping him from doing his job. I don't know how realistic the flight models are in PR though.

Theres no gravity or air resistance applied to PR dogfighting so traditional evasion doesn't work. Essentially, all missiles have a "no-escape zone" of 0 degrees, which never happens. Fighters can always out turn your missiles and guns (with a 6 second turn rate, that makes sense).

Flying in pr can be summed in one little phrase realy
Its like having two kids chase after eatchother while flapping theyr arms"

by the way, anyone else having a hard time taxi-ing with keyboard?

with just on/off throttle control I go too fast and then there are no reverse throttle

2nd question, once you have one wing touching the group can you still fix it?

Yeah, you don't use K/B to taxy. You use the mouse.

Goning to add some more flesh to this, and perhaps some frapsed vids of some common moves..
But that have to be later. Ive got stuff to get done..

Easy way,...make a pass over the runway to see if it's clear.

I'm always happy to go ATC for a squad, give me a kit with binoculars and a good vantage point over the airfield combined with a flying squad and I'm pretty happy, usually useful too...
