Concerning the Me-262 movie-i thought it was hilarious due to that soundtrack you chose Heavy Metal would be better suited for the dogfights- Try Iron Maiden!

Get up nice and close behind em and aim for the engine. (By close I mean about 10 yards or less)

How can you aim for an engine in the front of the plane when you are 10 yards behind it?

You sway a little to the left or right and hit along the side of the aircraft. It's easier said than done but almost certainly a kill.

Personally I aim for the tips of the wings when right behind a fighter. Most of the time though I come in from the top and try and hit the cockpit.

The Russians used the I16 and the I153 in Manchuria in the mid 1930's and beet the Japenese which was a pretty good effort.

I dont know anything about Russian Planes because they were kinda outdated.

But when the cold war started, and the Russians built the MiG 15, air combat got a whole lot harder.

I just voted for the Yak-9 and got it over with.

The Yak-3!! It was probably the most manueverable fighter of WWII, and made short work of my Grandfather, (who was a expeirenced fighter bomber pilot). there also way cooler looking then the La-7 in my opinion and was available earlier.

The Yak-3, a very nimble little fighter, but at a loss as altitude increased.
