Hello,
I am not a flyer at all so please excuse my ignorance. I have a military background and I race 1:8th scale off road buggies. A mate of mine recently get himself a plane which looks like good fun so I figure I would have a look at flying planes, then came across the combat part, and, here I am.
The best I can figure is there are only two types of combat.
1. the ribbon, break your enemy ribbon and you win.
2. Smash the be-jesus out of each other physically and the better built plane wins.

Is this correct? I am sorry if I am asking this in the wrong place on your forums. Has anybody tried anything different?

Thanks for your help!
