Run90 Defensive Tactic (Video!)

[bacon8tr]

That looked like some Area 51 thrust vectoring experiment.
    

[Getback]

I have some of the same issues with 190s mostly. Doesn't seem like they should even be flying. I thought you did the right thing by pulling up to reduce speed and then coming down on him, the bigger target.

I've always tried to fly smooth.

[tunnelrat]

The REAL question here is who was flying the P-51B... because, as EVERYONE has been told you're just a pick and run ganger... and it looked like you were alone, using flaps...

So, who WAS that?!

[Scotch]

That video cracks me up 

[Sg11]

I think you were brave. I would never fly after a guy with enemy rounds barely missing my plane for such a long time.

[Chalenge]

I see this from knights so much I can tell you who the pilot is without seeing the AH film.

Thats not stirring but he did cost you a lot of ammo and he got you in a sticky position if nothing else. I usually tickle this fellow with a good burst and look for a different target. He usually heads right home and lands.

True point. All i have seen from Pand was something entirely different and i did not like it, to phrase mildly.
Maybe i was wrong, maybe not. Still waiting for a good DA match to see what he knows and what i dont.

[ink]

definitely not stick stirring.......and there was no major negative G sustaining.....I would not doubt this can and was done in TRW....in a last ditch trying to save your bacon situation......

[RedBull1]

The Negative G's this guy was pulling could not be sustained by any person without going into a Red out.
Air Force/Navy pilots are trained to sustain up to Positive 7-9 G's generally, that is a lot and more than almost any untrained person could handle without blacking out.
Negative G's are a whole different ball game, I do not know as much but I can tell you at Negative 3-5 G's you will be in so much pain or going into Red Out, no way you would be able to do this time after time, even if you are a trained pilot.  he's pushing Negative 5+ G's easily by the looks of it.

Anyway, my point, it could definitely not be done IRL pushing that many Negative G's that many times in a row. Not to mention you'd probably puke doing all the rolls with it as well

Youtube's security certificate has expired.  It's asking me if I'd rather watch Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

Which is a pretty good program at least.

[zarkov]

Could this all just be an artifact from the game's smoothing code?

[save]

Fast roll without losing altitude,specially at treetop level at 500mph+, together with unchallenged ability to lose speed in turns, forcing overshoot is best way of surviving in an FW A-series.
Some planes can dive with a A8, but most can not maneuver with them at 550mph+.

Sometimes I land more auger kills than gun kills, scraping off Pony's in the trees rolling @500 mph +
One short negative G while rolling vertical down, while gaining speed agianst  pesky K-4's is another favourite, when closer to the ground pull up, fully trimmed up and see the ex-pesky K-4 making a beautiful hole in the ground.


If you don't want to see 190s in AH, ask for reduction of roll rate of 190s, and you will see no 190-A series there any more.

They cant run from 51s, some 47s, yak's,  Lala's, f4u's and some spits, they  cant turn sustained with anything that resembles a fighter ( and many/most bombers (!),  reducing roll rate would be an effective 190-killer in the game. They cant zoom good , and climb sux 4k-8.5k.

I see more pull-pushers, and fish-floppers from late Spit-series planes, than I ever did from 190s in the MA.

[LCADolby]

I still find that film amusing. 5 times I have watched it now 

I wonder if I have a Pandstang Defence Tactic film somewhere?

The only time I got called out for "flippy floppy bs" was in a 190F-8... that thing turns into a wet cat at stall speed.
