So, there have been a few threads going on recently, but none have really hit on
the nitty gritty of successfully controlling UK fighters. We in the Royal Navy realize
that our fighters are just about the lowest on the offensive power totem poll (only
MN is worse), BUT we have the highest durability. Okay, that's nice, now how do we
utilize our strenghts?

Being a new CV driver, I am still learning the ropes of CV tactics, but I hope that we
can get a thread going about useful techniques that may wind up as an addendum
to the UK CV Guide or pehaps a sticky in its own right.

First of all, I like to start off my GB2's by launching 2-2-4 in my Illustrious. This gives
me the chance to get some fighters out fast and start mowing down scouts -
depriving the other team their sight/rush opportunity.

I've also found that when the enemy CV has fighters camping your lower level CV/
BB's, it is a good idea to drag their fighters off. You can do this by sending a wave of
your planes near theirs, so the enemy fighters begin to chase, then you right-click
spam all the way over to their BB/CV line. This not only can deprive them of sight
over you, but also give your team sight while your fighters are in the Circle of Death.

Micromanaging is very important and the C.O.D. can be avoided by paying attention
to your flights. Double tapping the numeric key "1", "2", etc. will center on your flight
so you can know if they are doing what they are supposed to be doing and not just
in a C.O.D. with a random scout.

If you do find yourself in a C.O.D. situation, right-click spam the opposite way the
enemy plane is flying, thereby breaking the circle and giving your fighter a chance to
reengage.

What are some of your hard-earned UK techniques?
