Sorry If I haven't searched the threads with the proper phrasing and this is repetitive. If someone with really good links to video/walkthrough/explanations regarding using roll tactics would post them up I'd really appreciate it. I have watched numerous videos on youtube and other places that claim they illustrate rolling scissors etc. really well only to find that the video leaves me often more confused.
Thanks.
Good Evening RotBaron,
I am not sure if you have seen the two (2) threads below that are here in this "Help & Training" forum...... so I figured I should post links to them, just incase you have not seen or found them in your search for help/info....
First, I would recommend working on the "Barrel Roll Defense" maneuver, to defend from a plane attacking you from anywhere in your 5,6,7 o'clock (level to high) view..... one should practice this maneuver continously to become profficient and use it as a stepping stone to advance one's self in their ability to take the next step toward working into the "Rolling Scissors" maneuver , in which , again, I recommend for them to continously practice the rolling scissors to become profficient in utilizing the rolling scissors to win the end game, so to speak

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,184939.0.html ( Please note: the linked avi files needs to fully load, so give them time to load ( some are in the thread / some are linked )... you can click & watch the linked avi's in a new web browser window or also via Windows Media Player or VLC player , etc.......... or even right click and download to your HD )
NOTE: feel free to comment in these threads if you have any questions, it is ok to post in them even though it might give you a warning that noone has posted to the threads in over 30 days.......now regarding the "Scissors maneuver or also known as "Flat Scissors", here is a link indirectly related..... although it is originally talking about snap rolls in the F4U, it does have some info on scissors ( flat scissors ) maneuvering
Snap Roll question - F4U - Help & Training thread:
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,183449.0.htmleven though these 3 links/threads are talking about or show F4U series of planes, the information is relevant or in some cases parts of the threads are relevant to most all planes in the game.....
Hope this is Helpful,
TC ( Johnny )
