Thanks Schatzi for posting it...
In the second film there are two key moments from my perspective.
In the early stages I basicly setup the move that comes around 3:00.
What I do after the first merge is that I feel the oponent out. Can I outmanouver him easily or not. If I can then I commit harder if I cant then I want him to start climbing. The advantage of the 109 (g2 and newer vs yak) is the climb. The advantage of the Yak is the dive. I want to play his advantage against him.
I want him to start climbing. I follow him a bit and then I fall off. He wants to rope me so Im quite sure he will follow.
I tried the same manouver at 1:10ish into the fight which was too early and fell off to late so he almost had me.
But back to 3:00.
So he dives with me. Now he is on my six in a plane that manouvers worse then mine in a dive.
I do a barrell roll based manouver. I always start em of with a slight turn left or right. This serves two purposes one to get the other pilot to commit to that side two to offeset the direction of the barrell roll based manouver that is to come.
I either barrell roll and then split S when Im inverted in the barrell. This is the manouver I wanted to do at 1:10ish but scrwed it up. The barrell has to be much much higher vertically now it was just a lame turn, but it still worked decently.
Or I can do what I did at 3:00ish... Start off a to one side, the enemy commits to that turn, I go up, into a barrell roll, over and around his heading and you see how it turned the advantage of the fight.
Suddenly Im putting more preasure on him.
Next key moment is at 5:00ish.
Schutt starts to climb as he wants out of the bad situation the previously described manouver put him in.
This time since we are low I dont follow him. If we would have been higher I would have followed and fallen of just like I described above.
What I do now is that I go into BnZ defense mode. I know he wount BnZ and that he will commit much harder has he has shown that he is agressive. But still I go into BnZ defense mode. What I do when I defend against BnZ is that I set up where I want the enemy to come at me.
When I defend against BnZs my goal isnt to stay alive, its to turn the steaks. I set up a reverse move which once again is based on a barrell roll.
I turn to one side so that he is comming at me from top behind. Important is that this turn is a very wide sustained turn so that you carry as much speed as you can though it. This forces him to take a very very hard shot.
I make it even harder on him as I start my barrell roll when he is 600 out.
Once again roll over and around him and we are back into a agressive E fight.
The diveout that comes after that was a shame but I had to as I was typing to the rook spit to stay out.
Was a great fight.
