Title: Train SA and Evasive maneuvering in the RV8
Post by: Wilbus on April 30, 2007, 07:57:27 PM
Can think of no better way to train SA and evasive maneuvering then in the RV8.

Basicly you grab it knowing full well you can't SHOOT anyone down so your one and only goal will be to stay alive as long as possible.

Superb evasive maneuvering training but mostly it's unbeatable for you SA.

Attaching a film to show just how fun it can be. First part is so-so but the second part is quite interesting.

Was very lucky after the main fight when I was flying on auto and typing that the spit missed me. Think I was flying a bit too slow for him.

Uh, think Orange but not quite sure.

It was the single most fun sortie for me last night and I was on for a couple of hours.

Isn't the RV8 unarmed? Those are proxy kills, right.

It is unarmed, so yes they are proxies.

Or perhaps survived collisions? haha

Proxys by making them auger.

Its fun to use the terrain. Find an area away from your base that has hills,mountains and trees.

One of my most memorable kills was a proxy that I planned and executed against a P-38L while flying a C-47A and using the terrain offensively.
