Sometimes the best way to lose a pursuer is to convince them you're dead. Play Dead does just this. When things gets too hot to handle, rotate the cockpit 180 degrees using VTOL controls, press 7 to arm your detonators, then press 1 to disengage from the main fuselage. After you are clear of the blast zone, press your gun trigger to set off the bombs attached to the discarded hull, creating a large, satisfying and distracting explosion. If you're lucky, your pursuer just might think he shot you down while you quietly slink away in the escape pod, which you must land perfectly straight and level to avoid spinning around on the ground. When its not playing dead, the plane primarily serves as an aeriel anti-air missile platform, boasting 20 interceptor missiles for continuous pestering of long-range targets. One last thing: 2 activates the main engines.
