High Yo-yo?

[geistx]

Ghosth.  You make an interesting point:

 

The other main thing to remember is that wep on a La7 quits at 8k. So if your going to run, do it BEFORE you get below 10k

Are there any good resources where I can find more information about WEP vs altitude for each plane?  It is nice to know these things next time I am trying to disengage.

Wingover - Follks., in the BFM films link Urchin sent, there is a maneuver denoted "Wingover" and explained as an exagerated hi yo-yo.

Thanks for taking the time to help out.

Geist, you can actually get the info for most of the planes right here on HTC's webpage  .  Go to Help->Game Overview->Planes, Vehicles, Boats (upper right).

This will give you a good idea of what various planes are capable of (speed and climb rate wise anyway) at various altitudes.  Some folks have been doing research on turn rate and radius, and dive time, acceleration, and other stuff like that, but I can't remember the URL off the top of my head.

This link is based on Warbirds, but the comparisons apply to the same planes here generally.
