Once you buy "Malicious parachute" the game is easy. Just go close to enemy plane and cover it with that parachute. Best to fire the parachute when enemy plane has low altitude and doesn't have enough time to recover from stall.
Hi, no it's not a bug. Maybe the AI should be smarter, but this is not a bug, just imperfect AI :) If it was perfect, trust me, you won't like this game :D But i'll try to improve the AI a bit. Thanks for your comment.

@wideanglegames: OK, I just played again, and I can see the plane slow down when I face up and start going into stall, but I don't seem to speed up to any noticeable degree if I just dive (even facing straight down). I guess stalling seemed random to me because the speed variances (outside of directly going into stall) are minute(maybe it is just my computer/browser?). No need to get defensive over my real-weapon preference, it's just my opinion.
Speed up is indicated by sound of increasing frequency of the airplane's propeller. The ability to speed up quickly is determined by amount of "thrust" upgrades you have. The more "thrust" you have the less sensitives to stalls your airplane is and the faster you gain speed when faced down.

The control need A LOT OF WORK. It should be switched to controlling the actual plane, but the targeter. Where the plane goes, so goes the targter, not the other way around. It's hard to control and I find myself doing loops out of nowhere.
Also, it needs a wider flying field. Dogfights need to be more than loop after loop and luck.
the mouse controls are easy. Just tell the plane where to fly with cursor and it will follow it If it is possible. Or if you have hard times with mouse controls, just switch to keyboard controls in main menu.

nah... I tried, I tried, I tried => I hate this game, sorry, but there are just so many flaws. I mean I love piloting games, but this cr*p? Doesn't matter how hard I try: I can't shoot down the enemy, he crash-lands all the time => next mission => almost no points => thanks.... Another thing is the tiny air space. You almost can't maneuver and the enemy always flies out, then crash-lands or flies out and it's another repetition of "can't hit because of too slow shots even with upgrade while waiting for my enemies crash-landing because even with upgrades his armor still is just too thick for anything useful". sorry, not my plane needs upgrade. this game needs one.

great game, was lots of fun. But upgrades need a little more balance. Specifically, speed has more of a negative impact than a positive one. You get in front of the enemy you're chasing, instead of being able to throttle back, and it completely eliminates any benefit from agility. You're better off never going above 2 stars on speed.
You are right, not all upgrades are needed to be purchased. Every player must find out which combination is suitable for him. I personally prefer upgrading agility, thrust instead of speed, just like you. Speed is ok, but if you buy it you have to compensate with agility. And speed is possible to gain using diving maneuvre.
Hi, this game is not about realism. It has a stall mechanism and somebody likes it somebody not. It is impossible to make such a complex game that suits to all players. If you upgrade thrust (at least 2 points), you will be less sensitive to stalls.

ok, I finally got a damn reticle on my better aiming. WOW that sucks!!! I sold it because it was too distracting and much harder to lead the target.
Targetting system could help some players, but we, the pro players do not need it :) Targetting system is good when tail gun is purchased, in this case you are able to aim better backwards. Same to bombs, it shows you when to drop bombs (I hope I have implemented this feature :) )

And seriously, what does this targeting upgrade do? I see absolutely nothing from it, and my fire doesn't seem to change.

I wonder if the advertisers realize that they loose any audience they have after about 5 seconds to... other tabs, other progs or almost anything else on the desktop.

This game clearly has some bugs.. Most annoyingly, the random deaths. Just flying around, minding my own business, nothing else in the sky. Boom! Engine failure, bitch! How do you like that? That part really sucks.
