I'm playing this on baby rookie la-la land settings and IF I see the enemy plane, I see it for a moment, then it's gone.

Basically, my dog fighting looks like I'm stuck fling in circles, because the other planes NEVER EVER stop flying left or right. It's like NASCAR, always going in circles and it's frustrating that no missiles hit, no bullets hit, and I'm flying at the speed of a goddamn bicycle in the hopes that my plane turns 0,00001% faster than the ones I'm following! Jesus Christ, somebody HELP me! What the hell are you supposed to do?
