Once you realize the truth that mountains fly into you and not the other way around you ascend to a place higher than any other pilot.

Just watch out for other Aeros pulling out of a sharp dive.

I've landed a couple accidental kills by being in the wrong place at the wrong time and being run into by larger craft....  (Run into, not running into.  I think if you ram someone you die, but if you get rammed...)

Whilst flying in a Sulla E, I was rammed by another Sulla that I was shooting down.

We both died, I didn't get a kill, he just lost one!

Regarding landing:
Horizontal speed isn't particularly relevant, what matters is vertical speed. The most reliable way to land in 0.4 seem to be to shut off the engines a bit before the runway, take a steep dive while holding lctrl (level out) and pull up a bit right before the runway so that you glide down the last meter or two. If you pull up too early you will lose too much speed and lift and fall like a stone, if you pull up too late you hit the runway...

Anyway see these videos for more

I think that the ERLBL Sulla is the best ASF in the game.

1- It can engage anything with ease.
2- The lasers don't need to be reloaded.
3- The lasers can be chain-fired for dogfighting or group fired for low-exposure strafing runs.

I'd love it if the price was made a Flat 65k, so you don't need to ask your team-mates for a mere 2k to get into it at a certain level :D

You can find plenty of useful help on YouTube if you search a bit.  Here are some good videos (with music) I found:

Tbolt how-to compilation best hits
Sulla C on an anti-air mission
Sulla B doing only attrition damage, but still useful
Sulla C helping against a bunch of heavy mech campers
