Now that you are only a few weeks from actual combat, it is essential to know what kind of enemy aircraft you are fighting,
and best tactics to defend your aircraft against them.
German single seat fighters:
The standard German fighter, the Bf 109, climbs better than a Spitfire, has equal maximum airspeed, but does not turn as well.
The newest German fighter is the FW 190. It does not turn as well as a Spitfire, but it has a 80 kph mph higher airspeed.
FW 190s pilots like to do quick hit and run attacks, rather than dog fighting.

German night fighters:
The Me 110 is the standard German two-seat night fighter. It is fast on level flight, climbs and dives well, but turns poorly.
The Me 110 has extremely heavy front armament, plus one rear facing machine gun. Larger German two-engine craft, such as the Ju 88,
are much slower than fighters, with a very limited turning ability. However, they are armed with forward firing cannons and 5 or 6
machine guns covering the top, rear, underside and front. Their pilots stick to "hit and run" tactics based on speed.
