Maybe I'm missing something? 

That sideways thing at about 4:30 where he says "I'm dead"- is that a black-out, or pilot wound maybe? 

The beginning part of the fight looks good, it's just that last part that almost looks like tossing in the towel until the F4U messes up and gets in a bad position...  It looks less like "forcing the F4U to overshoot", and more like "I'm lucky the F4U overshot me".  I felt like he had an opportunity to force some pressure on the F4U right around the time he cheered, by making a turn into him, but he didn't take it...

I dunno...

Oh sure MTN, I was just pointing out that even the best players mess up sometimes. Considering that the F4u in the clip is not flying much different to the average MA casual gamer, or any of us after too many beers, personaly i find a few of the responses here a little unfair on the OP and the F4u driver. What works is worth sharing, even if it only works due to lack of enemy skill.

I believe that *anything* can with a little luck and skill hope to generate at least *1* shot on anything else most of the time.

Thus gunnery is once again to be revealed the core of it all...
"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."

Ahh, OK.  I don't think I've seen a black out on film...

Well, they can share it, but if it is contrary to fundamental tactics, a trainer is likely to chime in on it.

nah......I would say, you can guarantee a Trainer will chime in on it to provide any corrections that might need presenting......
