1st pic ( SA8.jpg ) is showing the attack angle of a spit diving in on me, I Know by the way he is angled I know he will never hit me, he is inverted and his nose is pointed past behind my tail

2nd pic (SA9.gif), I am in a leadturn going for a deflection shot on the spit, I have my nose pointed slightly ahead of his nose........if I showed it looking thru the cockpit bore site view, you could barely see the tip of his prop/nose by a mear smidge.......

none of these 2 pics had anything to do with lag issues or taking in account for lag........

this might help, hope it does anyhow.

MP....

You and I are in the same boat....we're trying to extrapolate an awful lot based on what info we have....a clip would help alot.

Clifra...did you by chance happen to look at the last set of clips I posted (flyboy & I)...in the 1st clip you have me on defense fighting a higher E pony so alot of it has me in that "under" role...in the 2nd clip the 1st "merge" I just blow thru (I never ever underestimate flyboy)....on the remerge I can tell he's looking to continue to gain E (half the fight is knowing when your large and in charge)...he knows the moment he can get co-e were back to fight #1 where he controls the flow...I know I have to get to guns....this is a pretty typical lead turn merge (think I even come off gas to tighten it up a bit)....anyway if you havent looked at them I think they might help you a bit with what your talking about...
