When he is rolled inverted, it may fool or disorientate an enemy? It had me thinking for a good couple seconds, which is a huge amount of time in jet combat.

Post by: curry1 on March 20, 2011, 06:55:06 PM: Ask eagl. However, I assume they are just as effective in training as in combat and since both sides use them it is probably good to train with them when doing dogfighting practices.

It's a matter of taking simple steps to give an edge at a time when every tiny little edge might make the difference between life or death. Like the A-10... Beyond about a mile range, the A-10 turning away might look like it is turning towards the enemy, leading the enemy to adjust his aimpoint for a closing shot instead of a fade-away jumper. As it has already been said in this thread, when it matters, a split second hesitation or improper reaction could be all that is necessary to determine the outcome of the fight.
