This is a merge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSj9BtHMFro&t=650
I dare you to prove otherwise.
you were already engaged... and yes I was being funny earlier by using merge as in merging into traffic...
now lets go technical a bit... merge as defined in AC, is a nuetral pass... and to be more specific, it is when both parties are aware of each other...
"Neutral positions generally occur when both opponents spot each other at the same time. Neither the pilot nor the opponent have the advantage of surprise." so, by definition, your original statement that you "merged" is wrong because he was unaware that you had pulled onto his 6 from below(do you know what this is called?)... and by definition, the clip in the quote above shows a hostile pass(no merge), as both or one of you were trying to bring guns onto the other after the initial engagement...
in the initial engagement you were offensive and he was neutral... no merge... unless were using freeway terms...
in this clip, both were involved in a hostile pass....
