Seems like the critique of his "overshoot" fails to recognize IF other variables existed and a slight sentiment that someone knows for sure they did not, so Floob made a mistake.

He said he flew past them intentionally, maybe he did not vertical roll because of a higher or bandit positioned within striking distance if he did so  :headscratch:

Seems where some are making suggestions assuming Floob is/did xyz are making assumptions too.

Now some of the other stuff... :bolt:  And with Rodney King's passing, so did his message.  :uhoh

I'm a lack of skill, no to little acm hack, so what do I know,  :joystick:    :airplane:

 :salute

The Midwar and Earlywar arenas are the best for fights. The aircraft are much closer to dogfighters than any LW Escorts (P51) and interceptors (190).
It's a shame they are so under used/valued.

The most memorable time I have in AH is when the LW broke and everyone piled into the Midwar. I have never had so many fights in such a short amount of time  :old:

Ahhh that was a great day, I was very green, but it was fun nonetheless

I didnt over shoot. I flew past somebody faking a seizure.

No bud their ACM (as disadvantageous to them as it was) caused you to overshoot. That was the purpose of it. If you want to improve as you indicate you do, the first step is being completely honest with yourself.


I don't do passes, that's BnZ poo.  :D I'm old school, I get in the saddle. Not that I have a choice with only two low rof MG's.

A coupe of observations here. All forms of ACM you'll come across in AH are old school. I myself dislike BnZ because for the most part it attracts the low risk to high score approach faction but I respect the handful of AH pilots who can do it very well. it's not the style but the execution which determines what is lame and not. There are some incredibly lame TnBers in AH for instance who systematically look for fights already going on or arrive with enough energy to force their faster, poorer turning opponents to turn. This is similarly lame.

If you're going to complain about a decline of ACM and criticise that used by other players then yours had better be pretty good and from what I saw in the movie it isn't. You need to work on exchanging kinetic and potential energy a lot more and spend a good deal more time on your BFM. You could have done several preferable manoeuvres in this position.

Finally you have as much choice as anyone in which plane you fly. Don't complain about poor armament when you're exploiting another attribute of your aircraft. No one forces you to fly it, you make your selection and take the disadvantages along with the advantages.

You got kicked in the nuts in this thread and rather brought it on yourself. It's up to you whether you let it twist you or to sift out the sound advice and progress.

Lag rolls/turns are your friend.

Thats what i did, i rolled and came back down on them, rather quickly i might add. The flipflop isnt acm, any way you slice it, never will be. I know thats going to hurt a lot of players feelings, but somebody has to tell them. In my day a trainer would have taken them to the wood shed.  :old:

It's a manoeuvre, in combat, in the air, regardless of its effectiveness. You're not hurting anyone's feelings, other people simply disagree with your opinion and unfounded authoritative tone.

With Spits and ki84s i like to bait them into trying to out turn me. They see the C2 and think they'll just get behind me in a few turns, by the time they realise they are being out turned Its too late for them, they are now too slow to run.

You wont get far with that attitude.

I'm fairly certain the snap-roll and the SINGLE hard negative G pushover ("bunt") were known evasives
