3rd Dogfight Walkthrough Video!!

[Latrobe]

Here's the third video of my Walkthrough series where I talk you through one of my fights. This one is a little different than the other 2 as I try to explain just how quickly you have to make decisions in a dogfight.

Well done trobe, that's the best 109F flying I've seen in a long time.

Very nice video and flying!  It is amazing at the thought process that is going on during a dogfight, and this really highlights it well.  Also great showing a review of your ACM's and what (almost) went wrong & why!

Good fighting! I like the constant climbing of the ladder for altitude.

What alt was the very first pass made? What alt was the very lost shot and egress?

Wonderful. Maybe now my opponent wont slam me into the ground as often.

That's actually a rather interesting point. First contact was at 5.5K. First merge when the first 190 turned in for me was at 8.8K. Last kill was at 10.4K and I leveled and egressed at 9.4K.

Very cool, Latrobe. 

Sometimes you make me want to quit because I can't imagine my mind ever getting to the point where it works that way in a fight... 
Hopefully experience really does help!

Time and experience is all it takes! There are people who are very calculative when they fight. They can see what is going to happen 5 or 6 moves ahead of time and fly accordingly... not me! I honestly don't know the first thing about how to fly like that. I pretty much just zone out when I'm fighting and just react on instinct to whatever happens in real time. 8 years of fighting absolutely everything and learning what works and what doesn't in those situations has allowed me to get away with flying like that. Most the time when the fight is over I haven't a clue what I just did to win.

Whew!

There's hope!

Great film Latrobe! 
I still have a long way to go before getting my processing down like you do, even after 6-7 years in this game. I am making progress, but I don't think I am nowhere near being able to sort out a pack like that without making a half ton of bad moves on the way.. 

Good thing we have guys like you then, who have the skills and are willing to share the secrets so the rest of us can learn from.

Nice work!

That was a supreb piece of flying and SA, you made one glaring error when you said the Pony driver was good! I thought I had you with the deflection shot and was glad I hit you at all. Then you simply gave me a proper schooling

  well done
