I am thinking the the double snake is just 2 Cobra Rolls back to back which is usually followed by the lawn mower , fading into the grasshopper a which point most will try Plan B.


Do you confirm Agent, or was I missing something?

That may be true of Changeup but I thought I saw one of those chicks throw something in his face and said something about the MFP.

    But the real source was the SAPP archives, you don't really believe there is anything they are not aware of do you ?

Clueless as usual ho-master. The cobra roll has been around for decades. It has nothing to do with stall fighting. You dweebs keep trying to reinvent the wheel when everything you can do has already been mastered long before you were born, and named.

Even roller-coaster designers know what a cobra roll is. Your attempt at [sarcasm]insult[/sarcasm] fails as usual.
shida is a ho master? I think you may have a credibility issue.

What happened to the subject of tail sliding.  :confused:

Shredding Chalenge's so-called ego is just an extension of the core topic of this thread. At the extremes of the ACM spectrum you have two opposing philosophies, those that want to manoeuvre close in with everything regardless of their aircraft, the situation or energy state and the Dicta Boelcke faction who want to minimize risk and survive all of their sorties. Each faction gets their fun in their own way and cannot understand the other's choices.

At the extremes the resentment becomes more astute towards the Dicta Boelcke faction when they start lecturing the other like ACM experts. Certain players around here, one in particular I've had a lot of contact with just cannot cope with an intense close-in fight. They don't have the spacial awareness, fine control or reflexes. Their egos seem to drive them to take the Dicta Boelcke route and then the typical preaching about their awesomeness and everyone else's deficiencies.


I think it's a shame the AH community has classified this class of manoeuvres under the 'Tail Slide' banner. Misleading name I think. There's no end of YouTube vids showing aerobatic manoeuvres. It's a testament to the AH flight model that you can do most of these.

I was in a fat jug and manoeuvred close in with ROCKY's P51, it didn't take long for him to Dicta Boelcke his way to ack.
If the DB guys (pun intended) spent a little time and learned how and why they get beat in the manoeuvers by seeing some actual fights through, they wouldn't have to DB it.

The eagle's claw is the deadliest fighting style known to man, I invented it all by myself, it was never invented before that  :old:

After using the eagle's claw for just 5 minutes Bruv could only see in black and white for a week!  :old:

After instructing zack in the eagle's claw he grew a hairy back like a werewolf and vowed to never use the eagle's claw again  :old:

See, I was thinking about this earlier but didn't say anything.... but since you threw it out there....

ROCKY is a squaddie of mine. I see people spewing hate on 200 all the time about him not turning back to fight them on their terms. You wanna refer to that as DB flying, OK. It's not my style, and I spew plenty of hate for runners on 200 in hopes of getting them to turn. Once in every blue moon, it works. But mostly they fly their way and I find another fight.

That's how ROCKY wants to fly. More often than not, he lands 5+ kills on each sortie if the dar bar is big. I have several squaddies that are the "stay fast and live" type of flyers. That's how they like to fly. I'm sure that is how Chalenge wants to fly as well.

And I have no problem with that...... because this game is what you make it, and there's room for everybody.

You wanna know what the difference is? ROCKY is a great guy and one of the coolest guys I've shared the vox with. What you won't see from ROCKY is the type of behavior you get from Chalenge..... coming into a thread like this and being an arrogant, condescending bag of d!cks to everyone as if he was the be-all end-all authority on ACM.

It's not so much how you fly as much as how you look at other people for the way they fly.

Doom was too, last time i checked in. I just hate how he flies, yet i think he has a good personality. He was always killing me in all kinds of "dirty" ways (vulch, gang, etc), yet i only could laugh on it, because unlike most of the MA, that man has a good sense for humour and irony. Some may find it strange, but i could even get along with Hoagi after we talked to each other.

NoChalenge, FlyinFuzzy, Hoss or TKO are completely different - no skills yet even bigger arrogancy. Even worse if you try to talk to them normally. I would say, ignore them, in game, and in here.
