[comp.sys.amiga.games] Wings Aerial Combat Strategy

Though this isn't a cheat, it might help some of you out on Wings.  When
a plane has engaged you and they switch to the outside view I've found a
relatively easy way to dodge him.  As soon as they switch from the
"He's on your tail" message to the outside view, do a steep nose dive (if
you don't see bushes on the ground of course) and make a sharp turn to
the left.  Most of the time this should put out of the way of his bullets
and you'll fly right under him and off the screen to safety.

	another tip.....

	For the fastest turn rates, roll approx 45-50 degrees in the 
	direction you want to turn, then center your stick....
	do NOT pull back on the stick.  This is essentially a flaw
	in Wings as real aircraft do all turns with back pressure
	on the stick....  oh well, it's a game, not a simulator, right?
