About Aces of the sky epic dogfights
Aces of the Sky is a free aerial combat game in which you fly a fighter plane through dogfights against enemy aircraft. Manoeuvring matters more than shooting — winning means getting behind an opponent and staying there while they try to shake you.
Air combat here is a positioning problem. Guns fire forward only, so the whole fight is about energy and angles: climbing trades speed for altitude, diving trades altitude for speed, and the pilot who manages that exchange better ends up behind the other. Turning hard bleeds speed quickly, so continuous maximum-rate turns are a losing strategy against an opponent who conserves energy.
Missions mix one-on-one duels with larger engagements against multiple aircraft, where the challenge shifts to keeping track of threats you cannot see. Checking behind you regularly is the habit that keeps you alive in the busier missions.
How to play Aces of the sky epic dogfights
Fly your aircraft using the pitch, roll and throttle controls. Manoeuvre behind enemy planes and fire your guns when they are lined up in front of you. Manage your speed and altitude — climbing costs speed and diving gains it. Complete each mission's objectives without being shot down.
Tips and strategy
- Do not turn at maximum rate continuously. Hard turns bleed speed, and a slow aircraft cannot escape or pursue.
- Trade altitude for speed when you need to close a gap, and speed for altitude when you need to reset a fight.
- Check behind you regularly in multi-aircraft missions. Most losses come from a plane you never saw.
- Fire in short bursts when the target is close and stable rather than spraying at range.

How do you win a dogfight in Aces of the Sky?
By managing energy. Guns fire forward only, so you win by manoeuvring behind an opponent — which means trading altitude for speed and back again more efficiently than they do, rather than simply turning as hard as possible.
Why does my plane slow down when turning?
Hard turns bleed airspeed, which is realistic and tactically important. A slow aircraft can neither pursue nor escape, so continuous maximum-rate turning loses fights against a pilot who conserves energy.
