So I was bored when I got home after work this afternoon, and I decided to go through some of my G10 films and string together a movie. I put in a bunch of clips of me killing decent sticks (all of em are pretty well above average) who get behind me one way or another, and then a long fight with NathBDP. I ended up winning that, but I'll admit he's better than me

I experimented with some effects on this one, so let me know what you think.

This'll be the last film with me in it for a while.. not sure how much flying I'm gonna get to do in the next few weeks. Grab it here.

Nice film.

That last fight between you and I is one to remember. It was challenging for me to keep the bird responsive with a missing aileron and flap, especially when setting up for snapshots. I have the film from my perspective, for those who are interested in seeing it. It's funny, I used my last two rounds of 30mm one turn away from a better shot opportunity. I had to rest my arm for 10 minutes after that fight.

Film G10 vs G10

the vulches are in goob's film

And yeah, fights like that don't happen too often in the MA.. was something straight from the DA. You can see where I stop to type to my squaddies to GTFO

Thanks for posting those films guys. I have a question, it looks like you guys were doing repeated roll reversals on each other or am I not seeing that right?

Rolling scissors.. it always looks like the guy up top has the advantage, and just keeps going back and forth until someone actually does get an advantage at the top.

Cool, thanks again for posting the films.

Nice film WetRat, and even nicer flyin. I just can't seem to do the things I see you and others do with the G10.

But you're lucky the ElGay in the second clip was such a sorry shot, he had 3 or 4 chances to put you away before you bettered him.

hehe, nah.. his only chance was on the first overshoot when I misjudged his E. Watching that demo from his pov, after that I crossed his nose really quickly a couple times when he was in no position to pull rudder for a shot. At best he would've done superficial damage

Don't think so... he lost the scissor. It happens eventually.

No... I wasted a lot of time/E going for that last shot where I pinged him with the machine guns (at this point, I was out of 30mm). The last manuever at the top of my scissor allowed me to get the nose around fast and get a shot off, which I did hit, unfortunately nothing was apparently damaged on his a/c. The manuever put me in an awkward position where he was at the top of his scissor and rolling down--thus gaining e--while I was heading back to the top of mine.

I don't know if that makes any sense, but the film is a witness to what I did. Here is a snapshot of the end of the fight:

Notice my flight line compared to his. In a way, after we passed each other at the extremes of each loop, this no longer become a scissors because he now had my 6. Nothing I could do, only hope that he was out of 30mm
