Total Air War

Tip 1:
———
Quicker promotions can be had at the start of a
campaign by skipping the minor 50-point sorties initially
offered. Accelerate time with the scramble button depressed,
and you’ll have the opportunity to take bonus missions that
produce a lot more points.
Tip 2:
———
When dogfighting be sure to use the thrust vectoring
tilde key (~) to improve your turning performance. The F-22
will outturn just about anything else in the air, but only
when it’s flown right.
Tip 3:
———
Use your wingmen as often as possible when targeting
enemy planes; this helps conserve your ordnance for later
encounters. TAW has an extremely target-rich environment,
and it’s quite easy to expend all your missiles and go
“Winchester” very early in the mission if you don’t
practice restraint.
