Newbie to Flight Commander can't shoot 'em critters

I'm rather impressed at the work that has been put into making this free simulation to carry on the WC series!

I've tried playing "Flight Commander", but am having a problem trying to get the enemy ships in my cross hairs. It would seem their ships fly circles around mine, and my rate of turn is much less than theirs, so that no matter how fast I pitch or yaw (full joystick deflections)... they're always on my tail as thought permanently attached!

Any tips? :)

Thanks!
 
Yeah, wait for the 1.4 version. :p

Well, the best way is to afterburn away from them and then turn around real quick and go head on---and try not to get killed in the process.
 
Yes, afterburn. Also, decreasing your speed also decreases your turning radius.

Although strategically, being on someone's tail all the time is a great position for the AI to be in. I'm not sure dumbing that down is a good idea. The AI improvements I was thinking about are more along the lines of having the AI perform evasive maneuvers when the player is on the enemy's tail.
