Here is a film of me sticking the overshoot on a KI84 2 times. I was flying a FW A8

Enjoy!

The Overshoot

Nice! I thought for sure that the first Ki-84 should have had you. He was right there behind you in prime shooting territory, but he totally flubbed it and paid the ultimate price.

Well done, Nomak.

Last night I did a ride along with Frenchy in his D40. A spit was trailing him by 800 when he made it overshoot with a barrel roll. After that he forced the spit to perform all manuvers in the vertical. Frenchy looked like he kept the jugs nose always directed to the spit except when he chose to nose down to pick up speed for the next verticle. The spit always seemed to have too much E at the bottom when it tried to follow Frenchy and would turn wide, then start back up again. Eventually the spit overshot Frenchy one too many times and he saddled up on it.

It seems when engaged, that forcing your con into the vertical allows for more oportunities to control the con and your position relative to its angle of fire. I duplicated his tactics 10 minutes later against a 109 with my D25 starting at 10k and forced him to ditch in the water. I will concede that I may have engaged a 2 week free newbie. But his ability to fly a vertical and horizontal scizzors was quite good.

I'm attempting to dialog what I'm becoming aware of in ACM. Other wise it remains something that I do instinctively without understanding what I'm doing.

I am using the Waffle sound pack.

Anytime I am on feel free to PM me for some training. I am not always available to train while im online however when I am free I will come work with ya.

The training I have been doing is about wraping up. The requests have gone from 4-5 a night to almost none.

To be honest I have had about enough of the training. I did so much of it in a 10day period that Im about done.

I will be on tonight. Give me a shout!

That is true bustr.

Good to keep in mind though that going vert with a con on your 6 can backfire big-time if the con is an experenced stick or if your timing isnt just right.
