There's a lot of hatred in this thread. It seems most of you are jealous of the proficiency and skill with which this shade flies. It's pretty sad to see so many good sticks all so hurt from the beatings this guy must have given your ego. Grow up.
I mean the whole optimal turn thing is pretty easy, the dudes even given you a simple program to figure them all out. It seems most of you are lazy and would rather spew filth on this guys name than try to learn something new.
All the bootstrap calulators in the world won't help you out here, you can look them up and fly the same way he does but his whole fight is based on you making the first move ie he just maintains his turn after 5-6 circles you will be feeling you should be doing more to 'win' the fight and turn harder losing E after a few more circles like this you plane will start to lose angles to his then he will 'gradually' make his move.
If you flew the way he did you would both fly circles in a stalemate until one or both run out of fuel (that has happened btw). Naturally this is perfect for the duels were there the planes and loadout are the same. Could everyone do this? sure. Could everyone be bothered? Not really.
Despite the guy thinking hes won because he is smarter and knows more about the mathmatics of flight or whatever, the truth is mostly people can't be aŁ$ed to fight 4 fights over an hour were they just turn in circles. So basically he will win because your not a bore or have more to do wth your time.
None of this is really relevant though its just a pointy stick to poke his ego with, he can fly whatever way he wants his conduct and the fact that he is given the freedom of the city so to speak by the makers of the game to act how he pleases over the customers that play and pay for this game is the real issue.
