Tactic's cheese with your whine?

[stephen]

Wonna duel?, go to the DA., want a fair fight? go to the DA...
Pickers, Vulchers, Runners, I wear the labels with pride, as do many of the other pilots in here.
One tactic isnt flown to the exclusion of another, we roll with the punches in here and do what is neccesary to survive, SO all the whiners (and I wont risk this thread to point out the obviouse names/sigs.) save up all your finger pointing, and try to fly smart.

That said, My favorite merge tactic is to dive a bit before pulling up in the vertical, turning into the nme whilst pulling throttle, and raking his cockpit....This works most of the time if our energy states are similair, and is pretty sneaky if done correctly.
The point of diving into the merge is to set your opponent up, he thinks you are gaing E to Make the fight vertical, and you convince him of this by pulling into the vertical just before the merge, the trick is pulling throttle all the way back momentarily to gain the edge in turning radius, in his attempt to do the same he will more than likly give you an even better shot .

Ok tell me what you think, and pass on any tricks/tactic you might have...underhanded or not I ultimatly respect the guy that gets me, unseen or otherwise <S>ROOKS

Ya know Stephan, I haven't died yet in over 10 years of flying fight sims.  I'm invinicible! 

What I take pride in, is a decent fight against a good opponent.  I'd like to think that folks know when they see that low 38G that it won't run, shoot em in the face on the merge or hide in the horde.

But hey, if you take pride in thinking avoiding the fight matters, then you go for it sir.  I hope you have a grand old time of it

I'd like to see a film of this working. As near as I can see, if you pulled that on me, you might get a fading shot as I went vertical, then had my way with you. But what do I know? I'm just the real Steve whilst you are just a poor man's stephen.

I do this merge every time I'm co alt and Co E with an enemy in my 38. Dive down a bit to gain E, pull hard vertical up and around 180 degrees whilst chopping throttle and popping flaps. Usually gets on the enemies 6 VERY quickly and I can control the fight most of the time from there.

Like I said, sounds like you might get a fading shot, maybe even a good one in a 38. But if you've chopped throttle and the opponent zoomed, how do you control the fight from there?  Seems to me like he'd be perched above you with a lot more E. I could be missing something though.
