	* The use of rudders, either foot pedals or in the form of a twist-~~action~~ stick~~, is highly recommended. Without rudder control you are robbing yourself of an entire plane of maneuver: yaw (lateral movement).

	Flaps, the large moving surfaces inboard of your ailerons that deploy to increase the wing’s lift area, ~~are~~ normally used for landing only. They can however be used successfully in combat as well, for the same reason: they increase lift (and increase drag, thereby slowing you down). And when you increase lift in a slow and tight turning fight, you can turn yet tighter and thus gain a favorable shot position.

	The WWII Online flaps operation is simplistic yet variable: if you do not tweak your aircraft setup the flaps will either be fully retracted or fully deployed, even if your aircraft historically had incremental flap settings.

	If you do not tweak your settings to offer “combat flaps”, you need to be wary of deploying flaps at speeds over 250 kmh/150m mph as prolonged use at excessive speed will damage the flaps and even render them inoperable. Therefore, should you opt to use flaps to gain a positional advantage, only use them briefly and at lower speeds.
