Your merge?

[sunfan1121]

  What merge serves you best? Is it a long extended E merge, or is a quick merge to play the angles?

  My favorite is a extended flat turn, then a quick immel. So what's yours?

[SkyRock]

put on left blinker, wait for opening, and merge into left lane.

When the ground merges with me.

[FLOTSOM]

my preferred tactic is to boom by at a zillion miles a minute pull up roll left realize my opponent is already there................up new plane

[AirFlyer]

Barrel-roll to dodge the inevitable HO then wing it from there.

[Bruv119]

I dont like to pull the same thing all the time,   You never know what your going to get with me,  it will be either sublime or hopeless.

[Getback]

Anything that avoids the H.O.

[Rebel]

It depends.

Is he higher or lower?  Faster or slower?  How does his airframe match my own?  What has he been doing?  How's my altitude?  My speed?  What's his psych state?

All these things get mashed together in a kind of nebulous stage.  I will merge to force the fight to my fight, or to take advantage of an E advantage.  Or to force a move to create an Energy parity if at a disadvantage.  

[gpwurzel]

Dive to get some speed, force them to miss whatever ho they try, auger as I've hit compressability - up and try again.

i tend to mirror merges i see the other guy doing, and hopefully just do it slightly better.  My only hope for any merge, if possible, is to have speed around 350-450, allowing numerous options.  failing that, i just react, anticipate and hope i do better.

in a "duel" setup, all i can suggest ya'll do is vary your merge.. predictability kills.

[Shuffler]

Depends on if I just put on clean underwear as to how I will merge.

[SEraider]

SunSfan,

Mine is a semi immel/flat.

That being said, I like different merges as some apponents have to be approached differently.  So I have to do a complete flat at times, fake left/right, double immel, immel with rudder, ect..

I see guys that tend to have just 1 merge but after a while it catches up to them.

My opinion only guys.

You and I need to duel.  My merge is basically the same style as yours by the way you speak.  Even in duels i Try to mirror the other guy's merge and try to do it better.  The 1st merge I merge my way, if I defeat my opponent with that merge I stick with it.

[Saurdaukar]

Assuming 109.

1.)  Dive for speed.
2.)  Left wing roll-over to avoid HO and merge beneath EAC.
3.)  Slow, left wing spiral climb.
4.)  Approach stall, 100% right rudder, 100% right aileron, 20% nose up elevator, reduce power, deploy flaps full.
5.)  Await opponent stall.
6.)  Increase power, 100% left rudder, 100% left aileron, 50% nose up elevator, increase power, retract flaps.
7.)  Nose over left wing/shoulder.
8.)  Saddle up.
9.)  Waste all my taters on one warping EAC.
10.)  RTB and AFK beer.

[fudgums]

depends on what Im fighting.

I usually go with a quick immelman.

Sometimes, a really slow Immelman, if I can Outclimb the guy.See if he will follow up.

Or a double immelman, but its not my favorite
