Fire Keys

Set multiple fire keys. More fire keys will help you shoot more bullets at a single time. Many players use the "Z", "X", and "C" keys for this purpose. Scroll down is a big help rather than just using left click. However, using the scroll button to fire, there is a disadvantage in that your bullets are often too close together, allowing your opponent to easily drive around them.

It is also important to keep a count of how many shots you and your opponent have left. If you are out of ammo, you should seek cover until you can reload. If your opponent is out of ammo, you should try to rush him while he is reloading.

Radar

For league play the biggest radar is usually the best. Being a good dodger will improve your skills.

Increasing the radarsize is not sufficient enough. The bullets must be seen well, increase their length and size till you see them very well.

Keyboard or Mouse?

The majority of players use the mouse especially in leagues. Keyboard can difficult to use in a close battle.
