Weapons
The basic weapons in Fighter Ace
planes are cannons and machine guns. Some planes have both, and some have only cannons. The weapons are different in number and have varying abilities from one type of plane to another. Know your plane!
Cannons fire farther than machine guns (up to 2200 feet on some planes) and do more damage, but they overheat more easily and don't fire very fast. Machine guns fire quickly and don't overheat as fast as cannons, but they have a limited range (a maximum of between 1500 and 2000 feet) and won't do as much damage.
When you pull the trigger, you fire all weapons at once. Decide ahead of time whether you'll execute a long-range, cannon-based attack or close-in fighting with the machine guns. Then forget that the other type of weapon exists - don't try to use both at the same time.
Lead your shots. Whenever you shoot while you're turning, climbing, or falling, your bullets will appear to curve ahead of you. You should shoot ahead of your opponent and let them fly into your bullets. Don't aim at where they are when you pull the trigger - they'll be gone by the time the bullets get there.
