Hptm Heiden down for the time being.

Yeah,that is probably the best way,that is how I do it and I can say I see cons rather quick:

2 important things:

1st: Saburo Sakai,the IJN 60-victory ace:

"Great vision is absolutely essential for a fighter pilot. Finding your enemy even a half-second sooner than he finds you gives you a great advantage. I'd teach my pilots not to tighten their lap belts too tight, because it prevents you from swiveling your hips so that you can quickly look directly behind yourself."

2nd: from Dicta Boelcke:

"never assume you know where your opponent is or will be. If a pilot 'lost' his foe, the advantage shifted to the foe. A successful pilot did not allow himself to be distracted from his opponent."
