[llbm_MOL]

My favorite 109 move is still the rolling scissors. Nothing in the game can match it.

Got a bogey on your 6? Start by getting his E down a bit by breaking to one side or another, then start scissoring. With luck he will attempt to follow you. When he does, start adding more and more vertical to it. Eventually you will have enough E to roll completely around the enemy, and can choose your moment to kill him.

That's an easy one, since I'm a Jug pilot.  

0G dive to 600 Mph and 100 feet Alt.  

High speed rolling maneuvers work pretty well versus planes that don't handle well at those speeds.

To be honest though, my defensive moves pretty much suck.  I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that a truly defensive Jug is dead if it can't run away.

Hey, what would you guys suggest I do?  Anybody have a defensive suggestion for the poor Jug pilot caught low and slow?  (Other than hit Enter three times?)

I like to hit "X" and go get a beer.

does screaming for help on chan 2,3, and 4 count?

[Toad]

My best defensive move in both the Jug and the Mustang is slip in unseen and hose the target's 6 all the way from 350 to 100 yards and then blow by the wreckage at 450 indicated.

If that doesn't work, things get a bit doubtful!

Rope-a-dope...

In a 109 I like pulling straight up 90 degrees. Put on WEP, and let any loser fly up thinking they'll get you. Get to the top of your climb and fall back, get your stalled out friend in your sights and blast em. Works almost every time.

 I shut my monitor off. If I can't see them, then bastidge SURE can't see me!


 P47:  If the bastidge points his nose at me then I oblige em and I use the zoom and starting firing when they're about 1200 out and decreasing rapidly.. Otherwise my fave is to quickly drop downward into a corkscrew for about three to four revolutions, build up speed and then suddenly go verticle into a 1/2 loop ending with a roll onto thier six - well, most times.

Got to be the scissors followed up at the end with a slip and throttle cut.  Unless of course I get position before the slip is necessary.  Then it’s a toss up, I either get the snapshot or get drilled.  If I’ve made it long enough to the slip, I usually end up with a snap.

If someone gets behind me, I'll just switch on the 'vodka dump' switch.
This will then jettison part of the vodka tank contains and drop couple vodka bottles for the enemy.

Seriously,
If I'm gonna be roped I'll feign a stall.

If someone tries to follow my sissors I'll go verticle after a short bit.

If sombody tries a HO, I'll HO the crap outa him on the next pass.
