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.
