Normally, I fly Yaks, So my first instinct is to speed up the fight, by using a split S, or Low yo-yo type maneuver. I've been flying the same two planes for so long, that it's become second nature to me. So, when flying the Zeke in an Event against P-40s, I found myself pulling down and out, building up speed, that gave the advantage right to the P-40s. It took some actual practice for me to get into the mode of trying to scrub my energy for a quick 6 shot, as opposed to building/maintaining my speed for a protracted scissor fight.
