pervert what your asking for is virtually impossible a scenario to create.
even in the DA you cant get both planes and pilots in absolute 0 advantage environment at the moment of the merge. one will always be that little bit faster or that little bit better angled or the alt of the merge will be more fortuitous for one than the other etc etc.
you will never be able to remove random moments of chance, and in reality i think the first sign of a great pilot is his ability to recognize and then exploit that moment of randomness to create his own advantage.
here is an example of my theory. now i am not saying i am great, or even good, what i am saying is that the random creation of circumstances that will benefit one player over the other cannot be discounted.
i have just returned to base, my K4 was damaged on the left wing and tail, both the aileron and the flap on my left wing were destroyed and my rudder was inoperable. (the damage is the random in this story).
as i am low and slow heading into the run way a 262 appears at the other end of it booming towards me. he is forward and slightly to my left side. my first thought was "SH*T i am dead"! the 262 rudders and fires! i watch his 30mm bundles of love pass just over and slightly to the left of my canopy. as i watch the trajectory of his tracers a strange thought hits me,
on impulse i tap the button and drop my flaps, i let go of my stick so as to not jerk the nose of my plane and with my precision trigger located on my throttle i tap off a quick burst of rounds. because my left flap was damaged the dropping of my flaps accomplished lifting my nose slightly and twisting it to the left, my rounds smashed into his left motor and wing as we passed each other i watched the explosion and then smoke billowing out of his left jet.
an instant later i get the message "You have shot down "so and so"". i manage to circle the field and then land.
now 999 times out of 1000 i would have died in that engagement, had i attempted any other evasive type of maneuver being that low and that slow and with that much damage, i would likely have augured in. but random circumstance and an impulse that told me to try allowed me to take the advantage away from the 262 and to monopolize on it.
so back to my point, 0 random circumstance IS an absolute part of the game and its the ability of the better pilots to not only create it but to exploit it.
I have watched IrishOne fly the A5, engage multiple cons and come out victorious by his skill at recognizing and exploiting the random circumstances that the fluidity of this game creates.
Exploitation of randomness is the ultimate ACM. it is the one skill that will serve you better in the end than any built in modeling of any aircraft.
POOP~!!!!!!!! you posted when i did!!
no matter my post still holds true even in the example you gave. a good pilot will create his own random acts of chance by baiting and maneuvering the other pilot into a place that will allow for exploitation of an angle or speed or one of the many other circumstances that will allow one to prevail against another.
