wow what a waste of time, why even post this film? you hopin someone will say wow your awesome!? unless there is something to be learned from a "dueling film" its just stupid to post it. or are you hoping a real skilled pilot will give you some insight on how to fly the 190? even noobs can bnz. if you extend"run" over 2k in a duel its not really a duel its another boring MA noob thinkin he is good. What were you hopin to gain from posting this borning film? and another thing films belong in films and screenshots section not here.
Only reason I put it into the training section is because a lot of people like myself actually wants to see how a 190D take an La-7. There are A LOT of people claiming they could outturn an La-7 in a D9, but which I have yet to accomplish. My point for posting it in the training section is just to show another method of taking an La-7 (flown by a good player). I still want to see other D9 taking 1 vs 1 against an La-7 at same E and out turn it like they claim.
There was a discussion about this a while ago in the forum, where some of these high speed aces "claiming" they can take down La-7 and spits in a turn fight w/ a d9. Yet, when some of us "dweeb" ask them how it's done and ask them to film it and show it to us. They said "no you guys find that out for yourself." Which is why I film some of these D9 v. spit and La-7 duels to show other D9 pilots how it could be done.
Keep in mind going against a novice pilot in any plane is easy, but when you're going against a good stick in any plane it would be a tough fight. If you guys keep pushing on talking smack, I'd like to see your film on how it's done D9 v. la-7, spit etc. in a duel vs some good stick and post it. It's easy to talk smack, but gotta post something to back your trash up. Again, I post this vid for reason to help other; not for "hopin someone will say wow your awesome!?" like you said reeb.
And by the way, the fight in this vid never extended beyond 2k, the 1st merge extend was about 1.5k. After that the La-7 was about 600 yards behind the D9 w/ gun ON the D9, but not through the D9 so the La-7 couldn't fire. It wasn't a BnZ, but it was a Spiral climbs more of an E fight then a BnZ.
Well, you guys were flying from a 5k field. Cmustard was flying an La-5FN which is not faster than the Dora at any altitude. At 6k, you have at least a 15 mph advantage. Climb is nearly equal at 6k, and the Dora is equal or better above 7k.
What you should have done was carry more speed than he could manage into the merge. You were not using WEP to build speed. Use WEP to take off, and leave it on. You could have had nearly 400 mph before the merge. Don't immediately reverse off the merge, but extend about 1.0k to 1.5k and convert into the vertical. Cmustard blew most of his E on the reverse. You would have the advantage of altitude and E, then you can fight your Dora to its strengths. From here on, killing Cmustard would be easy as long as you maintain the tactical advantage. Drag him higher, bleed every bit of E out of his fighter, than drop in and kill it.
If you allow E states to equalize, the La-5FN will eat the Dora for lunch.
It's like that classic complaint and response:
"Hey Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
"Well then, don't do that!"

This is basically what I did in that fight, it kinda follows what Widewing post.
After the 1st merge I pull my joystick lightly to go verticle, while the LA-7 pulled his stick hardback going vertical and pointing his nose at my plane. When the La-7 did that he bled some of his E which allow my D9 to have a higher E state of the bat. Once we reached 10k, my D9 got the climbing advantage plus the lost of E on the 1st merge, I baited the La-7 into a spiral climbs. As one can see the La-7 always has his gun sight at the D9 from about 600 yards out for about 30 secs as both plane spiral climbs. So I guess the La-7 must have thinking "oh i almost got it just a lil harder on the joystick and he'd be dead." Both plane were doing bout 80 knots nose up within 400-600 yards away. I did the spiral climbs because if I went straight up then the La-7 would have a shot, the spiral climbs prevent the La-7 to put his gun through my plane and make the La-7 think he has the shot so he can remain in the spiral climb.
