Best Defense against Wingover/Reverse

[Kini]

Title says it all. 50% of the time an opponent that misses his HO (which I try and avoid) I'll watch them pull up and reverse with usually a high percentage of a lock on and eventual kill on me. Jinking, split s, diving away, Immelmann all fail. There a maneuver that is successful assuming I have enough speed and altitude.

[The Fugitive]

Enough speed means you go up in a wing over as well and merge again. On the other hand I try to put my nose down a bit and extend. I bank and turn as they come in for another pass tightening my turn as they close to guns. If you have good timing, you can roll back in the opposite direction of your turn and get a shot as they pass. Eventually they will lose enough E either by doing wing overs and rudder kick trying to hit you, or by catching on to you and dumping speed. Either way you now have them on more equal terms and you can switch to an E fight, or.....more likely..... they will dive away and run for ack   

Well thats what I try to do.
