I thought maybe the airpower without "Hover" would have to yake the movement forward for the sake of "realism" (although I know there are already several rules that fly in the face if this, and Dust Tactics seems to igbore facing entirely up to the introduction of "Two-Space Vehicles) and that the Allied aircraft might not even be allowed to move backward at all(as they appear to be not be VTOL like the German jets), but the FAQ 1.7 on page 3 clearly shows legal moves for the "Bellowing Bertie" going backwards.  So I guess all the Dust airctraft can change directions without stopping or slowing down.

I guess that facing or changing speed ar anything like that would mess too much with dst simplicity. The simple rules we have now already create a lot of confussion and stress between players.

Of course a plane with engines that big can change direction without turning left or right, it's called an Immelman Turn/Loop. : )

I don't always play board-games, but when I do I play Tannhauser.

Keep gaming my friend.
