well, lets go with a yak. a high yak even. the plan is to get the yak down and co e with ya. so, as he dives, cause overshoot. sometimes ill split s, others ill do the slight nose down turn, tightening turn as he gets closer. continue this until he gets overaggressive and starts to give up that alt/e adv. almost everyone ive come against gets frustrated and tries to push for the kill. once they get over aggressive and your e states start to equalize, it is now time to start to turn with him, using flaps to gain your shot. i havent met a yak i couldnt out turn yet once slow. now he may opt to dive away and "extend", just stay up and grab wait till he comes back up, rope. or you can chase, but you wont catch, so, unless you have a gun solution real quick, i wouldnt chase, he will be back.

there is some more in there, but you have to go with flow of fight really, so hard to describe the "what ifs".
but that is typically my game plan with a high con. avoid his BnZ, while maintaining as much speed as possible, wait till he gets over agressive, once youve done that, he will make another mistage typically.
now, the distances you start your turns, split s...etc depends on his e state. the only way to tell is stick time i guess. ive flown 38 for about 2 years in AH and im still learning, and have a lot to learn. if you want to learn to fly the 38, put in some time, a lot of time.
