Likely falls under 3 (strengths and weakness), but knowing range, clip size and reload times is crazy useful.

IE, facing off with a similarly outfitted CQ fighter. Hang out at max range while dumby ineffectually empties their clip. Then close to finish while they reload. Likely benefits from a dumb opponent (but there are always a dumb opponent)

Similarly, empty a nearly empty clip as to reload before engaging. And when engaging, refrain from opening fire until within optimal range.

Seems kinda obvious, but engaging pilots who should know better and seeing them fail miserably is a daily bit of joy for me (and leads to the feeling Magnums are for the weak)
