flat turn pusuit in ww1

[Ack-Ack]

Im pretty sure that the lead statemant speaks for itself.., perhaps you should learn what the term, "180 degrees" means before attempting to ask for verifacation on what is a very simple manuever..., but ill break down for you so that you might understand...

180 degrees, refers to aircraft "turning" around, and flying in the "opposite" direction from whence the "turn" began.

If you require further information, I suggest you refer to wikipedia..., though im positive you know about the site allready, as most of your posts have thier origin there.

Clairify? 

Yeah, clarify....what plane were you in and fighting against which plane?  Were you in a D.VII and made the 180 turn to the right while fighting a Dr.I or Camel?  If you were in a Camel or Dr.I, did you make your 180 turn to the left? Was it a horizontal 180 turn or did you use a Chandelle or Yo-Yo to come 180 degrees?

Honestly, like most of the stuff that you whine about is a direct result of your lack of understanding of the aircraft you fly and of those you fight against.  You think that just because you did X maneuver that you should have triumphed without taking into account what your plane can or cannot do in relation to what the bandit's plane can or cannot do.  You'll find that this is true in this case as well.  The fact that you don't know how you're dying is pretty clear that you don't have a clue at all, which is why you're inclined to think that something is 1) wrong with the flight model or 2) the other person isn't playing on a level playing field.

I could have been harsh in my previous replies and just told you the naked truth, you got shot down because you suck.

LOL!  Just noticed that's also HiTech's new signature.

Had a jolly good time with a Camel this morning. Got my arse handed to me by a good pilot in a DR III.
There is a whole world to explore in this WWI world. The only aircraft I have seen being able to extend a bit was the Bristol fighter. And the Camel is one horse to master, but I'm game. It's a trick to turn it, but turn smartly to the left and it is very good. Try to loop and it will fall out to the right. Or am I that bad a stick....
Anyway, trying to disengage with some smartness behind it in a 1 vs 1, it is about impossible. 200 is the distance and that is all. This may change with altitude, as well as aircraft like the Spad or SE5.....

Nope, I've downgraded my video card from a GTX285 to a 7900GT so I could get my Stereo 3D back. Man does stereo 3D make a difference in the WW1 arena. Often I've been in my DVII with DR1's on my 6 really close in a turn and managed to turn the situation right around. I'm not going to tell you how but I will say that often it has ended with us wingtip to wingtip
