I am no trainer by any means...but  anytime you see me online JETSOM ingame....let me know I will go to DA with ya......although honestly for what you want TA is a better place....dont have to worry about rerolling, you can get a lot more done that way.

Don't write him off as a newb bud. He will give you a run for your money

Hey all. Just a simple 1 on 1 fight between a 109g6 and a spitfire mkVIII. I have tried to avoid the technical explanations and simply explain what is going on from the 109 pilot's view. I hope this will give some insight into how the fight is drawn out in the pilot's mind as it is happening. Please feel free to ask any questions about the more technical side of this film. Also please feel free to explain those things too if you can see them. Every little bit may help someone have that 'click' moment and boost their ability up a notch.

Thanks Bat    Are there more of these films?

Yep there will be, in the next week or so I will be posting this month's installments.

If there are any requests for things that people would like to see shout em out. For example 'I would like to see some smart BnZ flying to stay alive' or 'Show me a fight with a flat turn aspect' or 'show me a reversal of an attacking con'
 
If possible I will find a film.

Awesome film

I really like instructional films like this for Aces High. There aren't enough of them on YouTube.

I'd love to see a video about running away from a fight, lol. But seriously, there are situations in the MA where I start a 1v1 fight at high altitude and find myself descending to a hornet's nest of enemies below. I'd want to bug out from the 1v1 to regain alt, but if I'm fighting a fighter that's faster than I am (say I'm flying a F4U-1A against a Bf 109K-4) this proves to be a challenge. I'm a beginner to intermediate player. Advice in video form appreciated!

Ok Badger, let me see what films I can find over the next week

I would suggest utilising the the 109's tendancy to compress above 425mph against it, as well as taking advantage of your superior diveing and high-speed handling traits, in a scenario where you're trying to dive out/away from a persuing Kurfurst.  It will still be difficult, the K4 is a monster under 425 mph.

My 3rd day back in the AH MA.. I got 2 in one sortie & was goin for #3..(until SHawk got on my 6..)..

But the reason I personally think I even got shots off was one thing I picked up from your Video..  "Patience"

Fight Your Fight the best that you can.. & stick to it..

But most importantly, dont try to fly a 109 like a spit.. or a P38 like a P51..

thats what I took from your video.. take your time, fly your plane, try your best..
