/* Tactics */
'''Jousting''' - Best applied when using gauss cannons, jousting consists of leaving FA on and making passes at your opponent. Gauss is most effective when jousting because of its good auto aim, and high damage per shot. Though heavier, plasma devastators are also effective at this tactic due to the same advantages.

'''Spamming''' - Not to be confused with simply using missiles. Spamming involves emptying most of the ammo from a missile tube at one target. This is another frowned upon tactic in PvP. Not only is it very annoying, but when facing an experienced pilot it is very ineffective as well. The best use of missiles is through careful aim and timing your shots correctly.
'''Chain Firing''' - A great way to get out more shots in less time which raises your chances of actually hitting the target. It's easily achieved by setting weapon ports to different weapon groups and then using the appropriate firing keys to fire. Chainfiring is not autonomous, however, so you will have to time clicking the buttons just a fraction of a second apart to achieve chainfiring. Don't let go of the first button when hitting the second! Your weapons will continue the chain if you successfully start it and don't let go of the buttons. Also, if you are chainfiring two weapons, set the tertiary group to fire both weapons at the same so that when you get a chance at that easy hit you can still deliver both weapons worth of damage. This tactic is widely accepted in Vendetta-Online, and enhances the performance of slower firing weapons.
{{SKV|info=<span style="color: {{{name-color|white}}}; font-size: {{{font-size|100%}}};">The best pilots have a variety of tactics at their command. Even if you're not proficient at certain tactics, familiarize yourself with them all so that you can recognize them on the fly. This will not only increase your ability to counter one-dimensional pilots, but allow you to slip in and out of these tactics quickly and efficiently should you need to do so. If something isn't working, try a new approach. Remember, you don't always need to be using a tactic. My favorite way to fight is to simply watch my target and adapt to what it is doing. The most I use any one tactic for at a time is maybe 5-10 seconds, slipping in and out of them to keep my opponent guessing. Above all, don't let yourself fall into a predictable pattern. No one fights exaclty the same, therefore you should not fight everyone the same way. Adapt, adapt, adapt.</span>}}
