Is this a good fight?
« on: January 06, 2013, 07:23:38 AM »
This fight was in a quiet area of the LMA about 4 months ago. Is this the kind of fight people are looking for when they log in?

Yes, that's a good fight. Skillfull 109 piloting, SA, energy and angles techniques.

I would personally enjoy such a 1v1 tho I doubt I'd last as long as the Spit did.

It was good, but would have been even better if the Spitfire had a bud helping him and you downed them both.

2 v 1's are generally more fun because they add more SA to the fight, imho. :joystick:

Quite good.
The spit8 pilot was pretty much a one trick jockey though - only his way better turn rate and radius kept him alive that long.
Good one Bat.

Although I am sensing there might be an ulterior motive to the post  :), I would say a good fight.

It was a G6 without gondies vs a MkVIII

Debrody I don't think the spitfire was one trick at all, nor was it turn rate that kept it in the fight. I think that is a slightly unfair way of looking at someone who is simply not as far up the huge learning curve as yourself. Could you agree?

I also think that what made this a great fight was that neither of us was perfect. The missed chances and imperfect moves made for a better fight than a few turns then kill.

That was a very nice fight. Curious why the spit8 kept going vertical and to the left. I think if he kept flatter turn to right he would have used 109 torque against it. But I don't know too much. Very nice fight and 109 caused many overshoots.

If only the Brown Baron's activities were confined to giving good fights and nothing more then many of us would be a lot more happy and a lot less hostile.

Great to see the throttle control and when it was used and how. How many degrees of flaps did you pop? Also, instead of going straight verticle it seemed you would go up maybe 70 degrees, though not pure verticle. Is this due to the engine on the G6? Would you have gone pure verticle if it were a G-14 or K-4? Did you use the rudder a great deal or only when rolling over the top? Noticed you used engine torque to help get the nose over a few times.

I have to agree on your statement about the motive , good fight also.
