Author Topic: Most Outrageous Defensive Move? (Read 2079 times)

I just stay fast.... Let them get close & do a defensive barrel roll just as they hit guns range.... Timing is everything, but when done properly, they're dog food. Is very satisfying too....

head towards a hillside, so the nme augers after he tries to bnz you, or he'll yank hard and loose his e and loose sight of you for a few prescious seconds as he concentrates on missing the ground. Works quite well on trinity especially on 109's and other nasty compressing planes

My most outrageous defensive move is to cause my plane to fly in all directions at once in very small pieces, followed by a large fireball. Of course, this only works once per flight.

Heh, good one, Blue Mako. I definitely relate to that. However, most of my opponents are environmentally correct and conserve ammo. Thus I have more time to contemplate what went wrong as I twirl backwards to earth minus tail structure.

Since air combat is basically get guns on opponent or lose, I'm going to switch all my fighter guns from forward firing to rear firing as soon as I can find that option in setup.

Halo, you might consider turning on the option of pelting your enemy with aircraft parts! Start with elevators, rudders, ailerons, and if that fails just bleed all over his cockpit so he can't see! Works for me!!

Did see something that reminded me of old Fighter Ace days, came down in a P51 on a Nik1's six and gave him a squirt and he started to barrel roll....very slowly...then to slow himself down even more he dropped his under carriage......I went zipping by him but got the view of him stalling out at 200 feet and exploding.......ahhhh the SATISFACTION!!! used to hate those dweebs who thought that no stalls and no physics meant that they were hot shot FIGHTER pilots.

Made my day.

In the yak, if things are looking very bad, the most extreme D move I use is:

a slip to the right (full left rudder, attitude corrected with stick inputs) and as they correct their aim I roll left, then push a few negative Gs before rolling under (still to the left) and starting a scissor. If they stay to fight you, you can get a few snapshots at least, if they extend to reset, you do a 0g extension of your own, and try to make it closer to home before the next pass.

If I'm going 300+, I'll usually just do a slow barrell roll, to keep some speed and a forward angle, and usually a shot op as the banit flys through. If they try to stay with the roll, you can usually get them into a scissor fight. In fact, most of my fights end in a scissor lol.

The wonski-feint... (see Harry Potter and the goblet of fire) for the explaination of it , LA7's always turn into lawn darts .

pick up a lot of speed, wait till my opponent is a couple hundred yards off my six, level out, bail, and watch him slam into my now momentarily stationary aircraft.
BWHAHAHA!!

One time My aircraft got shot up. My plane was smoking and I knew my engine would go out in 5 minutes or so. However, none of my control surfaces were damaged. I went into an intentional stall. It seemed to work because the guy thought he shot me down and I was twirling down to the ground, but then I recovered, he flew past me, and with my smoking plane I shot him down. Totally faked him out into thinking he shot me down.
If you are lucky enough to have no controls damaged but you are smoking, try to make him think he blew your elevator off or something:D

ok i'm a dweeb for admitting this, but most outrages is a gentle climb knowing im dead and how enemy gaining on me , usually this is when im rtb do to lack of brains to save any ammo, as they gain i chop the throttle and force the to ram my plane from behind , they go boom, i go land.

easiest one to learn is the 'Galland dive' someone dives on your 6 just drop your nose a bit to accel then at 800-1100 yrd depending on the attackers speed push the stick full forward keeping power on full, when you hear his eng passing you pull up with less force to avoid blackout and its pretty easy to acquire him because he has so much speed he cannot maneuver from your 11-1 view. then give him an enema.

Negative G Barrel Roll/Rolls in a 109 followed by a hard Positive G turn when you time it right...

Most likely the bad guy will adjust to your negative g flopping then you throw him off with hard nose low turn..

Combined with rudder to slideslip during your vulnrable time when going from negative to positive g you have a excellent chance to force a overshoot..

Use the rudder as a break if necessary..

I know it may not sound that outrageous but when tracking someone doing this youll have new respect for them...

Note you can use this with any fighter aircraft but is most effective with ones that have a strong rudder and negative G characteristics.

hehehe, my best one, course it probably only works once..

Had an lame7 following my typhie after dropping eggs on their VH. I came down from about 10K, dropped at about 4K pulled out right on the deck with a ton of smash. Following the terrain, I made my exit

Well, the la followed me down and was slooooowly gaining ground on me. He got in guns range (d400) and started firing. I jinked and sideslipped until he got REALLY close. Keep in mind I am following terrain the whole time time, prolly 50 feet off the deck.

He gets to about d100 or so (this guy was a TERRIBLE SHOT)Chop throttle to zero, pull up and SMACK!!!!

LA7 overshoot and hits the hill right in front of me.....

I laughed all the way home on that one.
