in this case a 109g2, 5k below you. You're in a Pony, a Spit, an La7, a P-38, or a Dora. You dive on the 109. The 109 turns.
Do you:
a) Run away
b) Engage WEP and run away
c) Run away toward the nearest friendly reinforcements
d) Jink as you run away
e) Run away toward friendly ack
f) Run away toward an enemy base and die in a straight-in augering blaze of ack-perforated glory.
Just looking to see what the most popular flying methods in the MA are. I think I've covered about all the usual options here.
-
Is engage in a rope-a-dope an option?
-
g) kill it.
-
I've never had a con 5k below me so I can't comment..
-
hahaha Tarmac welcome to my world! Only in this case I'd be the one in a C.202!
Check out my post in the Aces High section of CheckSix if you havent already.
I've been experiencing the same garbage. If an enemy fails to HO you, they continue to blow through and never look back.
This afternoon I noticed several instances of a lone enemy blow right by (after evading his HO, immelman, and getting on top of him) and attempt to HO the next two-three friendlies about 2-4k away from me.
-
g) Auger screaming past the low bogie because you've compressed your plane diving at it.
ack-ack
-
AKAK, don't forget: "Then call the con a cheater for being able to turn out of your way, causing you to auger."
-
Kill him, shoot his chute, then mock him on ch 1 for being shot down by an FDB.
-
If a 109, low or high, turns with my spit, I salivate. Thats assuming I haven't blown all my ammo missing another plane that shouldn't be turning with a spit.
-
i hit alt-f4.
-
Whats a con?
-
oh and as you see in avatar i'm having SHANE's BABY.
-
Notice a lot of new names in the skies now-a-days? I think the noobs with the T.O.D. mentality are showing up a bit early, & they're afraid to blow their advantage and lose their ranks because of a fair fight.
Just a thought.

I hardly ever fly in the MA anymore, but when I do I see a lot of this Tarmac. Tonight I was chasing a P51 in my Yak and he pulled me to a Tiffe buddy. When the Tiffie engaged he reversed. He got some pings on me and my oil was leaking, but before he could finish me, I killed the Tiffie and he turned and ran home again instead of finishing me.
BTW, good fights in the CT last night Tarmac. I know I should run from bad odds but I cant help it, when I see a red con and I start drooling like one of Pavlov's dogs.
-
z) Engage him... only to find out that his 15 cloacked LA7 buddies were waiting for me to get low. I end up lookingout the tower soon. Damn Klingons...
-
I engage and fight to one of our deaths.
However, if someone jumps me when I am that low, I expect him or her to stay and fight when I turn it around on him.

ROFL :D :D I have never ever cloaked an La-7... its your tunnel vision that doesn't allow you to see me!
-
Å: (haha, further back in the alphabet you guys can't get)
(I'm in a Me163)
First I soil myself.
Then, because I'm the best B'n'Zooooooooooooomer there is, I decide to secure my E advantage by turning on the rear flame and go 20k straight up. Next, I will NOT go for the kill unless the poor G2 fellow is stalled, spinning or in a similarly helpless situation.
Paranoid? me?
I've never been shot down doing this... NEVER! Is there any better indication of skill!!???!!!?!?!!!???!!?!?
-
i do neither. bullets are a precious resource to valuable to be wasted on something that can respawn or reupp immediately.
i shoot em if they in my way. but strat is where it's at :p

I choose answer B. The 109's superior ACM tactics are no match for my newb flying style, i would at least need 10k on him to engage!
-
Now that you mention it, F is sounding might tempting.
-
spin around in circles screaming
-
z) if i fail the ram on the head-on pass i usually hit Alt-F4
-
well..for me.."im above average"..i smash his head open after i bounce hima afew times..
if for soem crazy reaosn..hes also an "above averge pilot"
i will certainly Alt f4 if he hurts my ride..
cause no way in hell im gonna let him get the kill when i wiasted all my alt to die:D
Love

I engage and get shot down. I always got shot down. Since my account lapsed Everyone's kill ratios has dropped.
I once caught a Tiffie like that. 4ACES? was flying it and not paying attention so I caught him cold. I screamed down, missed him and overshot. I zoomed trying to escape. He pulled up fired a few shells and I was toast. I don't even think he had to turn. The last time I was killed it was by a C47. But I gave him a fright!
-
What exactly IS a "single low con"?
I'm not sure I've seen one of those in the last year.
;)

Yeah, did that to a 110 today at A62. I hit 590 in my dora and it was shudderin pretty bad. I managed to pull up, well, kind of. Wing tips ripped off. But who needs them, I'm faster without em' anyway.
-
Make him beg for mercy ....... then wait til he gets to his buddies (so you have more of them to kill )

And why would anyone run away from a low G2?
-
g) Just auger in fear that it may be wetrat flying the G2..
-
X) Runaway as fast as possilbe, Land and run to the Message board to complain.
Hows that for another option ;)
-
Can't say i ever seen a 190 at low alt:rolleyes:
