The Halifax should be a breeze to take down in any plane with a rear arc. If your tail arc is short but wide, you will want the Halifax to chase you in a circle so that its pitiful front arc cannot reach you. For lower tier planes that lack a rear arc, the optimal strategy is to get the Halifax to circle, and counter-turn. This will allow you to take a few pot-shots as it circles by; remember to put a little distance between yourself and the Halifax after a few circles and repeat the process. Another strategy is to attack a fleeing Halifax by flying dead center behind it, and be ready to [[Airbrake]] as soon as it slows or turns. |

β | With the loss of the two long rear arcs in 2.4, the Halifax's wide wings and relatively long structure make it an easy target. By carefully positioning yourself inside its turns and matching your speed with the Halifax, you can even hit it with both unmodded machineguns on a [[Thor]] at once. The Halifax won't last long despite |
