It's not down, it's just misnamed.  The "f" in "film39" should be lower-case instead of upper-case.

Wow, good flying.

Although, it was a seafire, and your moves could use some practice.  I know the bks love to fly the spits and la7s.  You might wanna grab one of those guys to practice with.  You also might wanna fly against better opponents and maybe try it without friendlies around if ya want a challenge. :D

Good film. :aok

Great flying there. Watch and learn.

What stood out most to me was your choices of target. You often broke off an attack, not to allow another one on your tail. Very good SA.

I love that "break and barrel roll" move to get the guy to over shoot and get on his 6 with speed. Other thing I saw was that they rarely had a shot as he made the move.... got to learn that one !

Nice film !

The film is named "never give up" for a couple different reasons....

Although it may not seem so in the film the 2 on me with the spit and 190 was actually quite difficult.  Although the spit pilot wasnt Uber the 190 making passes was making it difficult to kill the spit.  While the 190 wasnt super agressive he wasnt making long BnZ runs either.  The longer the fight went the more agressive he became.  I remember thinking I was running out of time.

Then add in to the fact that I lit the spit up from wing tip to wing tip at one point and he didnt seem to take any damage.  I recall twice breaking off of him cause I thought for sure he was dead.  Only to have him turn back into me.

After the spit was dead I was about out of cannon rds and was just trying to land.  I couldnt get to my CV though cause I got run down.  At that point I was about out of WEP out of hispanos and facing quite a few red planes.  Lucky for me some countrymen showed up and helped out.  A few more minutes of turn and burn and I was able to extend and land.

The fights in the film are not that big a deal when the shots are landing.  In this engaugement they were not landing and I was really having a hard time.  Hence never giving up.

Its not a fantastic film showing unreal ACM but i think its a solid film none the less.

Thx for watching and commenting everyone.

What did you land on?  When I watched the film, it looked like you landed on the water, then it said "You have landed successfully".
Do CV's not show up in films?

BTW - loved the movie!  WHen I watch these I keep thining that maybe, some day, if I practice enough, I just might........naw - never gonna happen!

He landed on CV. The CV is just showing about 100 yds to the right on the film. (AS he lands you can see another plane taking off the 'phantom CV'.)

CVs generally *do* show on film, just not neccessarily at the same spot they were when making the film. This is probably the same bug/feature that has CVs show in different places on the different front ends (ie players might see CVs in slightly different places at the same time).



And Nomak: the film might not be 'unreal' and 'fantastic' but its very very instructive. Again: TY for sharing.

Nomak, you made a few shots and then stopped instantly when the target was hit, but the target was hit while under your nose. Do you raise your head position up a lot, or what?

Hehe, he was doing much of the same things to me last night in the da. I could almost see the shots coming in the film.  Nice film Nomak it was informative.

If you get a feel for it, it's not necessary to raise your head up to see shots.  You just "know" when someone's going to be there, and you "know" it's going to hit.  Call it instinct and experience.

Krusty I'm not sure where nomak has his head possistion behind gunsight. But i can tell you where i have mine and it seems to help some. i have the center of the sight just touching the top of the glass. It gives some over the nose sight. Give it a try.

I have the normal head position more or less default.

But ive changed the 'forward' view so the head is as far up and to the left (sometimes back as well) as possible. This gives you a good view 'over the nose' for deflection aim as well as CV landings.
