was good flying but didnt really see anything that proved your point. I mean there was a lot of leftward rolling scissors there. the 2 or so times you went against the prop weren't really comparable to a low and slow duel. And as for being predictable, ACM has been around for about 90 years now. I doubt anybody will be showing much innovation, especially in a video game.

Basically if you are already committed to a rolling scissors fight as we were and already riding the envelope as we were then decided to attempt a reverse by going against the prop, chances are you will snap roll and hit a tree if you didnt get shot down by the guy going with the prop coming around on your 6.

Not saying you dont know what you're talking about just saying at that point in the fight imo a decision like that would cost u the fight.
Both the shots came off a right roll but I misunderstood what you meant earlier honestly. Your right it was a faster scissor at the time and I  used it honestly to slow down behind the guy,he wasnt picking up on what I was doing. :salute

LOL!  We do know and believe us when we say it, you giving tips to Bighorn is like a vegetarian giving a cannibal tips on how to cook meat.

I dont know him so honestly Im ignorant about his flying style, Im always open to advice/tips.....I was just pointing out something I found as being an easy way for someone to kill you, If you watched the films Tw9 posted you see he does a similar move I did during the fight I posted...it gave him an edge in those scissors...What I wasnt thinking about was the speed the fight was at which Tw9 was talking about.....thats why I corrected myself. Do you have a problem with that? or just me :noid

lol if u are talking about the move i made at the beginning of the fight, it was actually a mistake and nearly got me killed. I was in a very bad state early on in that fight because of that. He had a shot on me if you notice when he came around. I'm guessin he might have thought the window for it wasnt that great and didnt want to risk it. For some reason he passed on it. Maybe thinking he could work a better solution.

He passed because he was never there for the kill.

Ill start off saying you have never flown against me so maybe I could give bighorn some tips(whos bighorn?),you just dont know. Second the first bolded area....they say that about 109s as well because it bleeds E, but when used right it can also give you angles :aok That shot was on the second merge.....he didnt get anything there on you angles speaking, you were below him with your nose in great position to have a huge advantage coming out of the initial merge and into the scissors that would soon come. This has been said before these shots are all just an opinion to his their own, I still think its weak and is a path of least resistence in winning a fight. :salute

I guess you don't know either one of the pilots. Creton is not the kind of guy you want to give any edge to when dueling and you can rest assured that he won't give any edge to you either.

Had TW presented the same shot to Creton ... Creton would have taken it. Had TW passed on the shot, Creton probably would have been pissed cause he knew for sure he blew the merge and should have been taken out. When dueling guys like Creton you take the shot when it presents itself ... as always, there are lots more planes in the hanger to try and do it again. Creton can take what you may perceive a "good situation" or advantage and before you know it ... your dead.

And ... all the above applies to Bighorn too.

I flown against Creton acouple times, exchanged acouple of kills and deaths with him but never had it be in a shot like that, normally it came during scissors later in the fight.

Most of the time he will would drag the fight out as long as he could instead of taking a shot that might only cause oil damage or a PW.  If he thought he could make you explode he would fire, but if as you said he was not sure it was a kill shot, he'd rather see the fight to the end than end it with a PW or oil, rad etc.
