- There seems to be some kind of a bug in the scoring system that often causes your score to be lower than it "should" be. The cause of this is still undetermined.
The Manual said:
As always, you really should read the manual.
What's that? You don't have the manual? Well, ATARIPITBULL was nice enough to scan it for us! Check it out over in this thread. Unfortunately, the manual doesn't really have any specific hints, but it's still worth reading so you know what's going on.

Time to dig out my inverted stick. When I did the record, I HATE flying controls, so I took a CX-40, swapped the up and down. That's my tip of the week.

And right after reading the manual, I gain some information that helps me get a better score. Here are my personal tips:
-Enemy planes won't be able to shoot at you untill their propellors are visible. Once they get close enough, they will rise toward the top of the screen, at which point you will generally be shot down. Therefore you should try to take them out before they get too close.
-Even if an enemy gets too close, try diving and/or turning to one side, since they have to ascend a certain distance before they can actually shoot you down, and from what I've seen, you can't be shot down from an enemy who isn't on the screen.
-If you see weird black things appearing at random on your screen, you're under attack by AA guns. Quickly shoot the nearest one (kind of L shaped) before you go down.
-Ammunition dumps aren't worth the trouble of trying to shoot at them since they don't do anything to harm you, and they're only worth 100 points. AA guns should only be shot at if you're being shot at by one. Concentrate mostly on the enemy planes, and make the ground targets secondary targets.
