Was flying a Yak-9U about an hour after my first post and got a mossie and a f4u on my tail kept scissoring for like 5 minutes and 2 nikis joined the fray and they still were wasting their ammo. Then some 3rd niki came in and got me but lol it took 3 n1k2s, 1 f4u-1d, and 1 mossie to shoot me down

That's the idea, Soviet, just try and get a shot on them by breaking hard in a certain direction (usually dictated to me by the direction in which my aircraft torques), then reverse back on them, after awhile you will get better and better at the scissors using this technique.

When in that situation ALWAYS try and keep then fight against your opponents close (preferably below 100 yards) so it will be easier to make them overshoot or screw up (auger). Panic is always a friend to you and an enemy to your opponents.

Naudet,

Experience definatly has something to do with it, but another is confidence (which I gained through experience).

You must also realize that I don't just fly into a gaggle of enemy cons, that is not what I am saying to do. I am talking about being aggressive against a foe, and if he happens to have 2 or 3 friendly cons above him that is a risk I am willing to take in order to shoot him down. You may ask yourself what I get out of this, well, mostly it's more experience and better aim.

Good posts Nath. <S>

There are two things that make it possible for guys to operate as you describe:

1. Ability to make the other guy miss ONCE.
2. Ability to kill the other guy with only one shooting opportunity.

If you can do 1. and 2. this game can be fun in any plane. And the only way to learn 1. and 2. is to do like Nath says, and take a lot of chances.
