Thanks for the tips Sly, it's a bit weird as we've all played the lone ace in the past games and now we need to all adapt to team-play styles... It's actually quite enjoyable.

I had some speculations, but weren't sure if they were true. Maybe someone else could test these out as well and see if it's just me.

"Pulsing" the brakes, as in tapping L1 and holding it a short period and repeating, can swing your aircraft around faster during a turn. It also reduces your speed quite a bit, so you have to watch for stalls by keeping an eye on your minimum speed. The swing is quite a bit, so it's a bit harder to control when you're leveling out compared to just holding the brakes.

The matching rate is similar to "Elo's Rating System," where you can guage the performance of other pilots by the four-digit number beside their connectivity in the pre-game lounge. It might not mean they're better than you play-wise, but maybe they have better equipment or planes which results in higher score outputs. (Realized this when I lost consecutive games and found that I was choosing rooms that had higher matching rates?)

Anybody know the optimal way to take-out Moby Dick 2 & 3?

Looking forward to seeing other tips.
