evading with an enemy on your six you see a friendly coming fast  2.5 away so you turn towards him.

you need an equal or better plane to win a 1:1 dogfight
you can't ride the stall without to the horn
you can't survive a furball without touching the trigger
deflection isn't second nature yet.

it's the reflex that's typically newbie.
 I dunno where it's from, maybe watching the il2FB AI, but all it's worth everytime I see it used is wasted energy and making me impatient to get what isn't a fun fight anymore over with.

giving your six to cons is sometimes the only way to start an fun and dangerous fight.

Geez, I hate to get sucked into this sorta thing but.......Minid u did not read what was said in the post u refer too. U are twisting words about deacking a field around. Let me set the record straight.......We have NO PROBLEM deacking fields, heck I can do it myself on a small field no problem. The issue he was talking about in that post u refer too is that on the fester map there was at least "one field" that seemed to have a glitch "one night" and even 20mm had a hard time killing a few acks. It was not a general comment, but a specific comment about "one field" on "one map" on "one night".

Secondly, although mr.black is a key member of our squad and a heck of a pilot, he does not always speak for the squad as a whole! He speaks for his opinions which the squad might, or might not feel the same. Point is......if you have an issue with something he says to you.......please keep it on a personal level and not squander group insults towards an entire squad of 43 people (the squad as a whole)! Thank you and good night.

Im guilty to all the above, guess i'm a noob.

And who is that guy who keeps saying "check 6" to me anyway?  Is he trying to hit on me?

And my favourite tactic to lose someone saddled on my 6 is to pull straight up and climb on wep until i stall.

Observation from the sidelines-

You know you're a newbie when you think that duels with cartoon airplanes actually mean anything?  Ok, that doesn't really work, does it.  Strike that, bad example.

I have always thought the "duel" thing was kind of weird (no offense to a specific person or group is intended, of course).  So you challenge someone to a duel and you

a) kick his arse.  Now you are the "winner," but what exactly have you won?  If I challenged someone to a duel over a disagreement about the moon being made of green cheese and I won, does this give credibility to my outlandish claim?  Like I said, weird.  

b) lose the duel.  You are disgraced beyond measure and no matter what the duel was about your credibility is in the trash can?  The guy who lost the green cheese duel was actually right, but since he lost the duel the community will be forced to admit the moon IS green cheese?  Silly.

Why not challenge someone to a Monopoly (TM) or Scrabble (TM) duel?  Arm wrestling?  Darts?  Acey Duecy?  Makes just as much sense as fighting cartoon airplanes.

Post-count duel? Hey, how about a bombastic rhetoric duel!  Oh,  y'all are doing that one already.  How do you decide who is the winner? :)

You are a noob when: -

Works like a charm for me.  I call it "baiting".  I like to do it against higher Spits and LA7s.  9 times out of 10, the guy will try to pull a lead turn and overshoot in a blackout.  When he wakes up, there I am behind him.

I did that in a ToD event, flying FW190's against B-17s, but without a kill.  We had finished a flight without finding any targets, so we refueled.  As we pulled away to launch again, I knocked a wing tip against the rearm shed much to the chagrin of my squadmates.  Since it was a 1-life event, I wasn't going to out that way so I decided to try and launch my wounded bird.  I crabbed all of the rudder and went full deflection on the stick, careening across the airfield before finally bouncing up into the air.  I retracted gear and managed to climb high enough to find a bomber stream coming over at 20k or so.  I pulled in close but couldn't get a guns solution since the FW would only turn in one direction. As I wobbled around the sky, I got ripped to pieces in the B17's crossfire.  Well, at least I went down in a blaze of glory! :aok
