You should aim to hit the enemy target when they are flying sideways making a turn, it will expose more area of their plane and make it easier for you to hit. Also try to aim for the cockpit, this is a way to end the gun fight fast.
Do swooping aerial attacks, as opposed to wait and bait. You want to be able to be the element of surprise and come from nowhere firing at your target. The best way to do this is to fly high out of enemy line of view. Whenever the enemy appears then you can swoop down on the plane shooting at it with your gun. Be sure to swoop down and come back up shooting and don't get behind the plane. This is why you should get good with your gun because accuracy comes into play with this.
You shouldn't change the air radar after it is unlocked.This will help you stay behind your enemy and if he is behind you then you will be able to evade him. With this you will have the direction of movements of all vehicles on the ground and choppers that are in range. However watch out when the enemy has air radar and he gets behind you.
If he should happen to get behind you then start to turn slightly to the left, make him think you are moving away. Then immediately fly downwards or upwards. If you don't have enough room, make a sharp turn strait up, although it works best downward.
Then make a 180 degree turn to your right. Now pull up or either down and then fly to your left. When you do this you will lose your enemy. The more you practice this, the better you will get and then you can evade just about any jet that pulls up behind you.
