> To defeat enemy in aerial combat, hypersonic plane should zoom ahead and launch missile backwards, according to computer simulation Not counter intuitive at all. This was my favourite dogfight setup in one of the greatest games of all time, Star Control 2. You put a lot of dynamos on your ship, then use just one weapon slot that shoots backwards, and add guiding hardware. A short burst of shots, from big distance and any enemy ship is history, without any damage.
