  Strafe Jumping Tutorial
Half-Beating is a method of strafing that doesn't require you to turn the mouse at all except at higher speeds to adjust the angle.
Strafe the opposite way you are looking and let go of forward at the same time you press strafe.
Promode strafing is pretty much identical to the normal Q3 strafing, with the exception that you can steer in the air by just holding the strafe keys (to the direction you want to turn) and turning there.

The next arrival was another TBF which, preceded by a strafing fighter, immediately made an attack from an unspecified altitude, sped and direction with two Mark 17-2 depth charges with the intervelometer set for 75 foot spacing and fuses set to operate at 25 feet.
During this time two strafing runs by the second fire were carried out to clear the decks and keep the gun crews from their guns.
With one exception noted, where strafing runs interfered with the paramount business of depth charging, strafing attacks were well made, very accurate, and effectively carried out the mission of keeping the decks cleared of gun crews and rendering anti-aircraft batteries impotent.

You should understand completely that strafing is a must, that it should be special, and that strafing is an ordinary kind of movement in DOOM (but not in real life ;-)).
Strafing is a little bit slower, in this case, its speed is 40 points.
Of course, with diagonal running there are at least two ways to move in the same direction: by means of right strafing and running forward and by means of left strafing with looking to the left or to the right accordingly.

The elevator should be open for you, and while strafing, tap B to close it before you enter.
Don't get stuck on this guard that is standing here, and then switch to right-strafe as you turn right, and fall off the little opening in the handrails, and stay as close to the wall as possible while falling, and run into the elevator to complete the mission.

The P-38 is at best a poor strafing airplane against targets heavily defended by AA due to its inability to make anything but a "down the groove" pass because the guns are not depressed.
Flights will strafe line abreast if the target is wide enough and in coordination of flights; during the strafing timing is all important.
You must keep in mind the mushing tendency of the P-38 while flying close to the ground, especially while strafing when your attention may be preoccupied with the target.

Strafing and turning around the target and fire-pouring is a very effective and very important technique for fragging a slow but shooting-back target.
It takes time to learn to use strafing in a game as diagonal but not forward running is a little bit confusing at the beginning.
Thus strafing around the potential frag, you should bear in mind that he can stop for a moment and kill you easily and probably it’ll be easier for him than for you to kill him.

 ST-v-SW.Net :: Warp Turning and Strafing
In the case of targets restricted to sublight, however, warp strafing could provide a devastating advantage, in situations where it is compatible with one's goals.
This is lost prior to the firing of the torpedo (thereby making this *not* a direct example of torpedo strafing), but the fact that he chose to arm them while at warp (as opposed to the phasers) is quite telling.
In short, there is nothing to suggest that warp strafing is impossible, and the fact that we have actually seen it with both phasers and torpedoes (not to mention knowing it can occur with transporters!) is the nail in the coffin of the idea that it can't be done.

 [No title]
Strafing is probably the best strategy that I know of.
If you strafe from side to side, the enemies will walk back and forth trying to catch you, and end up walking in a zig-zag pattern, therefore taking longer to reach you to try to kill you, and it will give you more time to kill them.
When you have enemies coming straight for you from their generators, the obvious thing to do, is to kill them, before they grow too large in numbers.

 Six-Day War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Israelis employed a mixed attack strategy; bombing and strafing runs against the planes themselves, and tarmac-shredding penetration bombs dropped on the runways that rendered them unusable, leaving any undamaged planes unable to take off and therefore helpless targets for later Israeli waves.
The attack was successful beyond its planners' wildest dreams, destroying virtually all of the Egyptian Air Force on the ground with few Israeli casualties.
Throughout the war, Israeli aircraft continued strafing airfield runways to prevent their return to usability.

 Clash of the Titans, Warp Strafing
Since warp strafing is a complex and hotly debated issue, let's start with a statement of what is not contested by either side in this debate:- Federation Starships can safely fly at FTL speeds up to and above 1500 times the speed of light (warp 9).
Secondly, in the majority of cases of attacks against DS9 (a stationary target), it was clear that the enemy did not want to destroy the station, merely capture it.
After all, if the anti warp strafing argument was correct, and no attack could be made from warp, the Enterprise would be perfectly safe at impulse speed.

 Air Force Blames Pilot in School Strafing - Newsday.com
LITTLE EGG HARBOR, N.J. An Air National Guard pilot who accidentally fired on a New Jersey school during a nighttime training exercise was to blame for the incident, but poorly designed controls in the F-16 also played a role, the Air Force concluded Friday.
The report, obtained by The Associated Press, also disclosed there have been three other incidents this year in which an F-16 pilot unintentionally fired during nighttime strafing missions.
The report called the Nov. 3 incident in New Jersey an "unfortunate and unintentional mistake." It said the pilot never intended to strafe the Little Egg Harbor Township Intermediate School, and it suggested computer software changes to the aircraft control systems to prevent another incident.

Wings is a plane to plane game of air combat during World War I. The strengths and weaknesses of the French, British, Italian, German and Austro-Hungarian units involved are accurately and playably duplicated by 50 data cards that display all the information needed to maneuver and fight.
The system incorporates such details as: speed, climbs, dives, banks, turns, slips, loops, rolls, Immelmanns, gun plays, ammunition and ranges, as well as variants for planes, balloons, ground fire, Zeppelins, bombing and strafing, heights, altitudes and much more.
The scenarios cover a variety of combat situations from lonely battles against giant airships high over England to low-level strafing runs over the trenches of France, and from crowded, twisting dogfights to intense, grueling single duels where one mistake can be your last.
