2. If it doesn't move, shoot it to make sure it won't start to move.
3. When in doubt -- empty your magazine.!!
4. Overkill works.
4a. There is no kill like an overkill.
5. Never share a cockpit with somebody braver than you are.
6. If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.
7. Every plan gets fucked up as soon as the enemy arrives. That's why he's called the enemy.
8. Five second bombs blow up in three seconds.
9. Try to look unimportant. The enemy may be low on ammo.
10. Don't look conspicuous -- it draws fire.
11. Never draw fire -- it irritates everyone around you.
12. Teamwork is essential -- it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.
13. The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack.
14. The easy way is always camped.
15. Press F1-F8 for diplomacy options.
