what the hell is F3 mode?  Did I miss something?

F3 mode is really annoying for duels. Makes it possible for people to win from unrealistic gun solutions as they can easily see under the nose with F3. Takes away some of the point of dueling, in my opinion. Thankfully the type of player I usualy duel feels the same so it's not a major concern.

All four of them are very good sticks, I rekon they are making you think they are turning when really they are setting up an angles or E advantage. They got that way by not being afraid to fight a spitfire instead of running. Dying at first, then quickly working out the spits weakness and exploiting it in short order.

Thanks Bat...you should have been in that list too although I have never seen you fly bishrook (and very happy about that too).   I have already prepared the wire transfer for big bucks into your bank account if you will explain "the setting up of angles" because it feels like I am turning hard to avoid that shot but they don't miss...ever!    And coming from high and 6 o'clock it just seems that they would have a tremendous close rate...almost to the point of compression.  Let me know....cash is on the way man.

ah no way I don't play anywhere near as often to compete with those guys in the MA.... well maybe junky, he flies like a fool in there all the time, like me

I think I could avoid the shot you describe better though. If someone with great aim is diving on you at high speed the worst thing to do is turn hard. This will almost always offer them a top profile shot with big target area. Thats the angle you are trying to work out. The one they are using to intercept your hard turn for a snapshot perhaps? Some of the regular Ma player get in the zone and you just wont stop them short of taking out the FHs.

   I visited the DA just yesterday. Took me awhile but realized something was wrong. After a few sorties from A1 I figured it out. I kept having this irresistible urge to climb. It was a few sorties later I noticed A1 was Rook, when did that change??? I was always Knight, or at least the last time I visited the DA.
   Anyway, I spent most of my time chasing down and killing Tempests, got three of them in my dweeby spitfire, pretty sure I was flying the Mk V and IX. For the record I did take-off in a Tempest once, and didn't head-on every plane I met. The same pilot kept trying to ho me, easily avoided it and then reversed and chased it. Inexplicably the Tempest would try to climb much to early and I was able to shoot it down. Which resulted in much whining from the Tempest pilot and many LoL from me.

The DA is just a secondary training arena. The OP should learn something.

I guess it feels like that is what you should do to avoid it.  Barrel rolls are great and partial rolls....but the angles part...merging, reversing etc.  Cash baby....cash.
