FILM LINKthis is two films stuck together, showing a method of overshoot kill that i find exetremely effective in a melee or furball environment.
This manouver i would best describe as a vertical overshoot, and relies just as much on the 'bait' and preparation as it does on the actual manouver and gunnery.
on both manouvers the time when the most speed is dumped is at the top of the half loop as we roll back to level, and clearly it takes both candidates off gaurd in thier spit16 and p51 respectively.
The most important thing to take away from this for me would be the plane choices, we find ourselves in two almost polar opposite aircraft in terms of intended fighting style. It truly is not the plane you fly but how you fly it.
second most important is for those who get caught by this type of manouver, in both these match-ups, the enemy should very well be sitting in the tower and kicking themsevles hard.
S! all, hope this helps.
