People (myself included) have a tendency to break and turn left. i believe this is validated in real life with trials, and the placement of the control tower on carriers is on the right for this reason. people catch on to this and thus they're more used to shooting during left turns, they anticipate the turn and are able to get a lead on ya.

I usually try to mix it up a bit, but I need to remind myself of it.

95% of right handed ppl always move left or lead with their left when changing direction or moving.

95& of left handed ppl move right.

Since 98% of the population is right handed odds are you can anticipate a left move of some sorts.

Torque is rolling you to the left as well .. hard roll pulls will go a LOT easier WITH the direction of torqe..

That's for the planes with the prop turning clockwise (Aft looking forward)

Which is why a fast roll to the left (the feint) that comes completely back around followed by a fast roll, or break, to the right works very nicely quite often

Especially in a Tiffie or Yak with the opposite spin to the engine.

Ha! I must be a real freak then, 'cause I'm right handed and usually break...RIGHT! No joke! Probably comes from me being a dedicated Yak driver, although the times I change rides for fun sure explains why snap-rolls in a P-47 sure come out funny.

Actuallu it is about 90%. Many left-handed people adjust and use their right hand or are ambidexterous (use either hand). Once they were forced/encouraged to learn to use the right hand, but the latest scientific data suggest that it causes mental problems.

I watch em as I come in, at about D1.8-2.5 they roll slightly in the direction they intend to go. Give the tiffie a little rudder and usually you get a nice fat target sailing through the hispanos
