How to fight in a Spit/N1K.
« on: March 21, 2003, 11:56:54 AM »
OK, this goes out to all the new folks flying the spit/n1k.  I constantly see them make mistakes that get them killed, so I will try to post some easy stuff that will help.  

First off- if you bounce another plane, be aware of his speed.  If he is going a lot slower than you, he will probably try to sucker you into flying in front of his guns.  I'll put in a poorly drawn diagram here.

Whoops, I messed up my diagram.  Read 'attack' instead of 'turn' for time 2

That's in the Fighter Combat book, isn't it, Urchin? Scan the diagrams from there (if there are some and you have a scanner), or if you find some and don't have a scanner, let me know the page # and I'll do it.

Probably be a copyright violation to scan it directly from the book- I don't think a diagram of that is in there anyway though.

pff urchin.. i can just cut out the text and page numbers and such. And I highly doubt the publisher / author would give 2 shts that a page or 2 was scanned and posted on some forum approximately 0.000000000000001% of the population looks at :D

Freeze, I dissagree with your circle number 76, at this point the "standar" 25% fuel spit/n1k2 is on fumes :D
