for those of you flyboys, here's a good trick of mine.
When dogfighting, lock on to your enemy long enough to get them to drop all of their flares, as soon as he does that, switch your weapon to bombs. This makes him think that he lost you so most of the times they level out to find a target. From there you can either machine gun them to death, or try your luck with your missiles. Chances are though, as soon as you switch weapons, they start evasive maneuvers again, so if you try the missiles, try to get them when they seem to be going in for a strafe or bombing run, and try to time it so you have missile lock before they pull away from it.
works well for me!
