In air combat, its a principle that only attack when you are at full advantageous. So,pilots should be very patient. A good combat pilot should know when to engage in and when to withdraw from the battle. If condition is not good, its no necessary to confront the tough with toughness. So,act wisely.
The simplest strategy is using your smaller turning radius and your faster speed,to go to the back or side of the group of bandits. And you can try to follow them. Its very dangerous to fire head to head with enemy planes.
Now, the enemy is attacking our airbase. They have so many planes. Try your best to shoot down as many bandits as possible. Far fome the airbase, there is not our controlling area. There are many enemys antiaircraft guns.
Remember, its much saver to attack from enemys back. And be patient, run quickly when the situation is not good.
