well,
there are allways 2 sides of a story, i give alltimes 6 Calls, i dive in when we Deucers are free to engage! But what happend 75% of all times, diving in, being at 450Mph, i count the range 800 600 on range vox, and at the second i have a perfect solution the one broke that hard away that a) i can't follow, because i am at nealy 500mph, b) i dont want to follow a stupid flat turn and bleed all my E in just one move!
second example, happend just yesterday, we LDs came in with 4-5 k alt advantage, another player was under big pressure below us, i dove in to clear him, called on vox he should drag straight, con distance was 1k steady, all perfect it seems like but what did he do??? he turned a bit and pulled the con and me straight into the sun, no vis, no hit, no help! i climbed up and didn't setup a second B&Z, so he died half minute later by his own fault (too much Turn and burn and missing SA is allways a 99% Chance to die quick)
All i can say, a 1 vs 1 fight is just one thing, the fun for me starts with a perfect teamplay, but this works only if pilots are skilled enough even better if you know each other like flying with squadmates since years. Or the otherone is realy a good stick and can read and adept your fighting style real quick!
It don't work with unknown and SA missing pilots, sound harsh but thats a fact! My hint is, go into the TA catch a trainer and learn how to communicate and sharpen your SA
