Ok. I guess a Brew driver better get in here and share some info. Brew vs. BnZ plane (k4, 51, 47 etc.) I wait for em to close 1.5k or so then evade, flat turn with rudder to throw the blind shot. IF he stretches out in a shallow climb I put my tail toward him and preform step 1. again. Fight ends 3 ways.
1 he gets tired and leaves (happens the least)
2 his friends show up then its just a matter of time or luck I wouldn't even give myself 50/50 odds. (happens a lot)
3 He get impatient goes vert, if I'm really watchin my E and he gets real sloppy
and holds real still I can knock a wing off at 800 to 1000 then rudder over watchin my tail if I couldn't get him, if I miss and he comes right down on me evasives, either he starts turning (death without help) or he runs. (fight over)
with 50% to 0 fuel the brew will climb roughly 1000ft per 100mph indicated airspeed(so try it if you want to) but you better have more than me.The Dreaded Diving Brewster. Ive had the Brew doing 450 indicated before even having stress sounds and so I guess that 500/510 and Ive never tore anything off of it. Now of course it can't turn real great at those speeds but Ive never had to do a whole lot of Turin either when diving, usually done in just straight lines but I made a pony tear his wings off one time chasing me through a high speed turn(don't ask me how but he did it.) if your on the deck I'm probably gonna catch ya. But a hard turn should get ya out of trouble unless your by yourself then I'm climbing and goin over the top and right back in catchin ya in the middle of your turn and saddling up.(Two options run and hope they don't get ya before your outta gun range/ turn and ya better hope its a crappy pilot.)
Brewsters VS. A6Ms and Hurris. I attack these 2 as quickly as I can because in the flat turn they will kill you. Unless the zeke or hurri pilot is good this quick fight will surprise em and they either panic or cant slow enough to out turn you. In a 1v1 same pilot Id give em a 50/50 both ways, If either one lands a good hit probably will end the fight right there. but with both a Brew has to end the fight early. In a prolonged fight though its really which pilot knows his bird better. If you can dive on em then of course you control the fight but in the straight turn fight the Brew cannot win unless he can dump his E faster and these two, which is hard to do. So I'm always lookin for these guys already low and slow to put em outta the fight before they can get after me. And of course both can catch you in level flight, but the Zeke cannot dive with you(unless its a real short trip to the ground
) Of course this is just a basic breakdown. This doesn't take into account the flaps of both the A6M2 and the brew more the reason to finish the fight quickly.
Anyhow there ya go.
Don't let me catch you.
