Calling all duels..Films that is.
« on: July 27, 2001, 06:33:00 PM »
"This ain't your mothers Air Warrior".  That phrase keeps ringing through my ears as I fly AH's.  We all enjoy different aspects of AH, some enjoying large furballs, some bombing and others 1 on 1 type fights.  I fly for the later.  That one chance that you might meet a similar plane with similar alt and no one else around.  1 vs 1.  Simple, pure, the holy grail for those of us who can't help but target fixate  :) . However this is not Air Warrior and I am not flying my old Full Real 38, turning on a dime and spraying at a hit bubble with seemingly endless ammo.  Spoiled by that hit bubble and by the large ammo loads of my old 38, I have some bad habits that seem to have followed me to AH.  I leave virtually every fight without ammo after putting away my first kill.  i.e. I spray spray spray.  Deflection shots seem to be my downfall here, where they were my B & B in Air Warrior.  My point in this post is to hopefully get some of you vets to post/email me some of your dueling films showing deflection shots and general "AH" gunnery skills.  I have searched some of your websites, but not found much on this subject in film format.  I learn by seeming and replicating much faster then by just reading.  Email is flynomadic@kingwoodcable.com  .  Unfortunately I've figured out that if you can't hit it with lead, it doesn't matter if you can outturn it  :D .  Thanks for the films and help.
