This goes back to the earlier "snapshot" thread. I think that there probably is alot of variation of folks definition of exactly what a snapshot is and how and when to take them. This is the P40 vs 109 clip I mentioned.
Simply one of those times when your facing an equal or better pilot in a better plane and need to do wha t you can if and when the chance occurs. I expected the 109 do suck my E out then spiral climb or do a modified double emel to establish the high ground. Instead he got aggresive and started a series of moves that would eventually leave me floundering and let him roll over on me. Basically I just got lucky....but I do feel it highlights alot of what I think is important....
1) Keep your views of the con
2) keep your as E possible but maintain your angles at any cost
3) perserve your vertical manuevering and alt (when in doubt go up)
4) always in lag unless your shooting
5) dont chase a bad option (unless your 95% sure its your only one)
6) Use the force:):aok (you'd be suprised how often you can one time em)

I never know if they help anyone or not. Most of the stuff I'll put up is similiar to the questions I saw as a trainer. Alot of times I look at some of the "uber" clips and the 1st thing thru my mind is....jeez I cant fly like that. 2nd thing is jeez I cant ever shoot like that, 3rd thing is jeez my SA is no where near that good.....last thing is I'd have been dead 30 seconds into this:huh :cry :( :furious ......
Most of what I put up is pretty easy to duplicate with "normal" skill level...of course when I run into blukitty, greebo, apar, lazer etc it shows what happens when you run into "uber":huh :furious :mad:

Nice, i captured a similar snap-shot on film a few months back - except this time i was the 109K4 v a P38. goes to show how deadly those spuds are if ya can land em...
