Sometimes everything works as advertised....
So I made a video of it. The scenario a merge single maneuver first pass kill.
View here:

The video is not a how to do, but more of a "WHAT WENT RIGHT"
So what went right??? was judging the enemy plane was moving faster than mine ( I should be able to turn inside the opponents turn )
Starting my turn just prior to merge ( also avoiding his Ho shot ).
Keeping the enemy plane in sight ( hat switch views! ).
Adjusting gun position as needed raising nose up to hit enemy plane "snapshot".
for me breaking the habit of a classic 6 shot and shooting when ever you get a good shot does work! (excluding the ho of course!).
Props to the other player who tossed me a salute on 200. :aok

Er... that's a merge. You just turned first and he didn't counter it. 2 planes still merged into 1 path and 1 was shot down.
Still a merge!
-
Hence the merge that never was :)

:rofl Fantastic! :aok

Uhhh.. No.
It was a merge. The merge that was. You merged and shot him. Period.
The only way it could NOT have been a merge was if you kept going straight and disengaged running away.
I don't think a merge is what you think it is.

Nice merge. I call that the early merge and I do it all the time. You have to make sure that you are slower than your enemy when you do it and timing/distance based on how much slower you are.

I don't know if the Niki could have won that but if he would have pulled up and right inside of right at you he might havve a better chance.
Good merge and shot though <S>.

Yep.

Pretty basic lead turn with some vertical aspect. Nice shooting :)

nice vid first off well put together <S>
the niki could have won I saw the mistake first off, knowing the f6f had his inside path right before guns he should have went wings level and climb reversed him.

Yup no real counter, but after reviewing film (N1K cockpit view) I noticed that the N1k spent alot of time shooting pre-merge.... and that's why things worked out so well THIS TIME :D
Thanks all for the comments :rock

Had the N1K been more experienced, he would have blasted you. Those "early merges" usually set yourself up to get your belly shot.
Real good crossing shot though. I'm sure the N1K pilot woke up in the tower wondering what happened.
:lol :salute
