The more we learn about the upcoming air-combat game H.AW.X the more we look forward to it. Ubisoft Bucharest - the developers of Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. - have dropped a list of things we all must do:

1. Kill a plane with rockets; snipe it from long distance while anticipating its movements. Deadly and impossible to dodge.

2. Use ERS low altitude to kill a plane with the gun in Rio; ERS will guide between buildings until you can get close enough to kill your enemy. Be sure to ERS the plane while its above the city.

3. Kill four planes at the same time with one salvo of multiple AA missiles; make sure you time the shot at the right time to see four explosions at the same time. Best mission for that: Rio or Afghanistan.

4. Destroy the Myrmidon (Magellan mission) with the gun only if you are looking for a REAL challenge, or use just Free Fall bombs if you want to make it pay easily.
5. Kill a ground unit in OFF with the gun.

6. Kill a ground unit and a boat with the same cluster bomb in the Africa mission near the dam.

7. Recover the plane in OFF at ground level between building in Rio or Chicago; you should lose the sight on your plane to really consider you an ace.

8. Perform a Cobra or a 360 at water level, as low as possible, then wait for the vectorial thrusting to stop and go up, leaving a large splash of water. Use a plane with vectorial thrusting like the F-22.

9. You can dodge a missile in OFF by crashing it in the ground/water (while you survive, obviously). You must fly very low and perform a quick drift just before the impact.

10. Make a cobra between the antennas of the Sear Towers in Chicago; make a drift just around Jesus, and make a cobra under the bridge in Rio.

11. Go in OFF training mission and kill a drone attacking in you in OFF by crashing it in the ground/water. Force it to fly at a very low altitude while chasing you and wait for the moment; it will push its engine to dive toward the water, so then make a quick drift to avoid the crash. Splash! This works actually with any aggressive AI.

Must do number 11 looks like its going to be our favourite: we’ve seen it done in movies and now it’s our chance to do it for real! Please remember to wear your G-Suit before performing these low level, high risk tactics. Probably best to skip breakfast too
