Sega After Burner Climax Owner's Manual page 71

Using missiles is the most basic method of attack. A missile may still miss a locked on enemy if your timing is off.
1
Align the lock-on cursor with an enemy to lock-on to them.
2
Fire a missile while locked on and it will home in on the enemy.
<After Burners>
When the throttle lever is moved to FAST (far away from you), the after burners ignite and maximum acceleration
can be realized.
The after burners can only be used for a limited period of time.
You must then return your speed to normal for a while before the after burners can be fi red again.
Moving the throttle from SLOW to FAST will allow the after burners to be fi red again more quickly than normal.
<Rolling>
Rolling is a technique for avoiding missiles. Normally, missiles can be avoided by other actions. Rolling is
performed as follows.
1
Move the control stick left or right for a short time.
2
Move it momentarily all the way to the other side and the aircraft will roll.
