RE: Combat Techniques
There are actually a lot of differnet tactics.
I use a number of different moves and tactics depending on the situation, some more effectivly than others.
I'm best at persuit, where I basically pick a target and stay on them until I get their streamer. I try to get in to a known "set", where the relation between my plane and the target is pretty well known, and I can eliminate as many dimentions as possible, and then make a pass accross the tail of the target. The more passes behind a target you get, the better the odds you'll get a cut.
There's a really good article written by AJ on the RCCA site, but apparantly it's now in an RCCA-members only area. I'm not sure if there is another link to it out there.
