In my opinion less popular, but very efficient doctrine. It gives opportunity to react with the just attacked airplane by turning 45° in any direction. It gives an opportunity to change tailed position into deflected one, so the increase the probability of dodging such hit.
Defensive tactics is bonus doctrine to Tigh Turn trait card, so almost every (except German and American) early war fighter.
Alternative use:
It seems that Defensive tactics is not optimal doctrine for turning fighter as it does not protect from gaining a boom chit but only from loosing advantage level. In my opinion Defensive Tactics is a great deal for multiengined fighters (while optional heavy fighter rule is not use). As those fighters are often heavy armed beasts (usually FP 3) Defensive Tactics could be used in defensive as well as in offensive way.
Multiengined fighters do not gain boom chit unless they are Disadvantaged. So if the multiengine fighter is at least Neutral the Doctrine could be utilized for turning into head on fight (as it is heavy armed) and (being Neutral) boom chit resistant.
Playing multiengined fighters with Defensive tactics as a Doctrine you need to:
- use deep echelon like formation to keep your back safe
- choosing non Agile fighter (i.e. Beaufighters) take rather more low skilled pilots (as those planes are immune to Outmaneuvering).
- keep close to the clouds to hide if the your planes becoming low.
How to deal against Defensive Tactics:
- If you are aware your opponent will play this style you can choose Snap shot as your ace skill to prevent opponent of Deflective dodge.
- Try to attack from the rear (using high cover or repositioning Theatre cards)
- If possible keep the opponent low with the Great Climb
- Neutralize clouds with the weather cards (i.e. Clear Skies, Down Drafts, High Clouds, Storm Clouds)
