Looked like a clean kill to me...

Dedalos flat turned to the right against torque off the merge, both combined will lose you a step to the other guy every time. Net result, you had a near planform deflection shot.

I don't know what he saw on his front end, but from your view it was faultless.

My regards,

Widewing

Dedalos has a problem with deflection shots HO's after merges (though after the initial merge it wouldnt quite be considered a HO now would it?).  I did near the same thing though more of a frontal shot on him after an initial merge 2 days ago in the DA and he started yelling at me on Vox.

Any player can't always expect to have a fair fight, or have it land in their favor, that's just unrealistic.

often ive fought dedalos in the spit5s with only the 303s, not because it means we think by doing that we are somehow better pilots, because it means the fight will hopefully go round a few gun solutions before someone dies. we got bored of the fights like this where first to get guns on wins. we also would try and make 3 or 4 no guns close-to-ho passes untill someone won a big advantage bot just a close one. thats purely personal preference and not a DA rule.

Dedalos made a mistake in that flat turn merge, he needed to lose more speed for that and also consider the profile he showed you on the way up.


from my view that was almost 90* angle from above the canopy and tail, perfectly legit shot and a very nice one.



we should go easy on ded, im sure he felt a bit foolish when he realised he had got pissed off at losing, but hell, we all get pissed off when we dont do our best at something we love being good at.




i'd also just like to point out.

Im not sure why you made this public then..... How about PMing him, asking for his reasons?

I need to put together a compilation of the films I have like this, with 90-degree off-angle canopy shots and then the player starts screaming at me on private or channel 200 and accusing me of a cheap HO. I have too many to count.

When did this game suddenly become full of so many whiners, anyway?

Suddenly??? This has been Whiner's High since forever. :)


TW9...

The only thing you did wrong was to end the fight so quickly. :)

It became full of whiners on the day that AH was released.  Or possibly sooner, in beta.

I'm glad you posted this vid. The disagreement aside, from my PoV this was a great piece of flying. I'm adding it to my study materiel. Its a great example of a high yo-yo and a flat turn. I have problems figuring out what to do after the initial merge, and this vid gives me a decent idea what to do.

Actually, what he flew was mix of chandelle (climbing turn) and immelman.

This is a film Murdr posted not long ago, demonstrating the different "vertical turns". The discussion about it was lead in this thread: http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=193840

Check out this thread for more info on merging.

Another good read on the subject is "Mastering the Merge part 1-3" on Net Aces. http://www.netaces.org/genmerges/merges.html#title



I hope this helps you some.

Ill be looking for you online.
