Deflection 101
« on: April 01, 2007, 07:21:54 PM »
I have created a map that teaches the fundamentals of the Deflection shot.The deflection shot is very important when a person finds themselves in a 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 situation.Usually the deflection happens in a blink of an eye with it sometimes just being a matter of guess work.

This new map & Deflection training style has helped many a new pilot in this area of Air Combat.

Here is a sample, i hope you enjoy it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWT7CpNiGok

From the film, and granted it's not of the best visual quality, it looks like it's more HO training than any sort of training on deflection shots.

It does though look like how you have the map done with the track that it can help those practice high probablility deflection shots in the turns though it would seem to be a tad more difficult to practice low probability deflection shots.

LOL Skyrock, tact isn't one of your strong points.  I was trying to be a little gentle pointing out the HO training but you come along and wail on him with a sledge hammer for the kill, priceless =)

It's not really about ACM as much as you would think.

The track is in a figure 8 shape.The deflection shot i am referring to is not when you line up for a HO pass and the other guy bolts downward to avoid and you shoot him anyway.I mean the 2 and 3 on 1 deflection shot, when your fighting multiple targets all of the sudden and a enemy plane whizzes by your nose and you only have a split second to get a shot off and potentially raise your odds of survival.

The best way to be able to hit folks in the blink of a eye is too fly the figure 8 track with a Me-262 at over 400 MPH shooting only in the turns.

You need to learn what a deflection shot is, clearly by that film you think it's a head on shot.
