Getting off the first shot is important. With an F-15, this usually means a Sparrow missile shot followed by an attempt to get behind the enemy plane to follow up with a Sidewinder missile or guns. Your best move is to attack from behind. If this isn’t possible, then the head-on approach is your next choice. 1, record 1, English, - head%2Don%20approach
