This kind of strafing should be known to everybody who ever played some shooters.
Here you will be strafing vertically rather than horizontally.
It can be used whilst chasing the enemy and works much better than the usual ‘tailing’.
Keeping our sight point on the target start strafing down whilst picking up the nose to track the opponent.
Stay in the blue range of the optimum speed to keep the ship’s maneuverability.
In the case of seeing this maneuver being performed by the enemy, start circle strafing whilst flying backwards.
This should save you from being tailed.
But it is faster if done properly.
Controlling the ship without using any power steering may be tricky but it is worth it.
The key to success is of course, the practice.
The intuition is important too, but the experience will enable you to use different tactics whilst on combat.
These short description should be used as no more than an inspiration and an introduction to the very basics.
Try not to be predictable and don’t be ashamed of fleeing when necessary.
it’s possible for you to leave it for a while as this is a long and automatic process.
