-P-47 Aces is a 2 button game with a typical 8-way lever movement. It's worthwhile to have an autofire A button at 30Hz, as it's faster than the internal autofire. Keeping the internal autofire button is useful both for handling [[Glossary of shmups#Slowdown | slowdown]] more effectively, and to reduce gaps in the firing pattern.

-For scoring, it is also common to add [[Glossary of shmups#Frame button | frame buttons]] on movement, to make positioning for [[#Bumping|bumping]] simpler and more consistent.

 === Bumping ===
-In addition to the above mechanics, 100 points are awarded every time the player touches a non-enemy, non-item object, which causes the player to bounce away from the center of that object. On its own, this is a rather hard source of points, but due to the design of the system, it's possible to put the player ship in a position where it will rebound between multiple objects quickly, causing a rapid rise of points. There are a few bosses, notably the stage 6 and stage 7 bosses, where it's possible to completely wedge the player ship inside the boss, making the player invincible for the duration, and causing a dramatic point gain.
