1- B n Z'r
2- T n B'r


when you fly into combat...do you look for a fast turn fight right away

or do you prefer waiting, and letting the other make 1st move

do you pick on the enemy right away....If alt adv. is yours.

or you wait and make passes....

do you prefer hmm hmm to cherry pick

just right what comes to your mind....try visualizing yourself in diff. situations then type what you would do.....

this I hope will help newbie's THINK the correct way BEFORE engagin combat...HOPE VETS WILL POST THERE THOUGHTS PLEASE

remember keep it simple..and not to long please...thx

Hmmmm....let me consider myself as a vet, in first place  :D

I tend to take off from caped fields. That gives you an idea...  ;)

My best virtual combat experiences are always related to turning the tables. Either alt or speed or numbers (or a combination of such) disadvantage.

I am not really a BnZ fighter type. I rather like TnB or E-fighting. I do not deny BnZ style merits, discipline comes to mind first, but I like a more "personal" approach to fight.

The first thinking that pops my mind on seeing a con is turning my nose on him. Then reassess and, eventually, make corrections as fight flows.

Cheers,

Turn fighting is definately faster, which counts in its favor.  If it is 1v1, I'll give the guy a really aggressive merge to begind with, just to see what he does.  If he doesn't react 'right', then I'll stick with the angles fight no matter what the planes are.  

If he reacts 'right', either breaking hard into my attack or obviously using it to set up some sort of overshoot, I'll go up instead, to see what he does.  

Keep in mind, thats only for a 1v1, 1vmany none of the same rules apply.  You either go in fast, try to kill enough that the others run away, or you BnZ them to death.

Easy kills = cherry picking( keep SA at your maximum)

Don't wait for them to make a first move.........they could be waiting for anything...........if the coast is clear stick them on the spot.

Don't allways try to have the advantage........you will learn best by trying harder things and experimenting..............ju st don't try and climb up to a higher enemy around him............at least go out of con range.

Oh and flat turns, try to keep them  to a minimum. If you fly round in circles you will get nowhere..........and duel alot with the very best.

Always BnZ. TnB is just a backup, even when flying a Spit V.
