One way to improve the effectiveness of this kind of combat is to fly sideways during the early stages, and then project you into speed towards the enemy as soon as he begins to think you are moving away. You can thus inflict damage to the enemy without risking a collision yourself.

The name is connected to War Thunder Golden Eagles the need to "turn" the aircraft during the maneuver of approaching the opponent, consuming considerable amounts of energy. Some airplanes are particularly suitable for this kind of combat, given the construction of their wing system (which allows them to turn around faster with the same energy consumption). In general, smaller and more powerful aircraft are particularly suited to this style of combat. During a "Turn n Burn" fight, it is possible for your opponent to "catch" your tail. In this case, a series of maneuvers are available for you to "take off" these adversaries.
