Wingman Tactics

Maneuvers that can be used with wingmans against enemy fighters.

This is also a highly dangerous move, that involves two fighters. It requires precise timing and excelent cooperation from both pilots. When using this strategy, both pilots must have been pursued by enemy fighters. Arching away from each other, the pilots need to be at least a good distance away from each other before they turn to fly head to head with the other. Flying at full speed with enemy fighters trailing, both pilots either turn left to right at the last minute, with less than one meter from each other at the point they're closest. The enemy fighters should not have enough time to realize the situation and move one's self from the path of their friendly fighters, thus crashing into one another.

This maneuver is best done in places with slight obstacles where the pursuing pilots' view can be obstructed from incoming fighters.
