Lost your email so I posted the film here so you can see how I was able to follow you up in your vertical climb and get you as you rolled over to come back down.
First off, you'll notice that you started your vertical climb at a little over 300mph and not 450mph like you thought and I did not immediately follow you up. After I came over the top of our merge, I was around 250mph and when I leveled out, I dipped my nose down slightly until I got to around 300mph. This is when I finally pulled up into the vertical and followed you up. At this time you'll notice that your speed was burning away fast as you continued your vertical climb. This let me close the gap some more because this is where the P-38 has a clear advantage over the P-51. When you finally came over the top of your vertical maneuver, you were down to 159mph and not 300mph like you thought. Since the P-38's vertical performance is better, all I had to do at this point was just roll over as you started to come down and fire was you were passing in front of my nose.
The reason I was able to pull this off is because I took advantage of the better vertical performance of my plane and you played right into it. Now had you gone into a spiral climb instead of a vertical climb, you could have taken advantage of the better climbing ability of the P-51 to counter the better vertical performance of the P-38.
Anyway they were fun duels against you and SHawk

Oh come on akak, we know you have his email addy. You don't have to post flying lessons on the board here to become a respected fighter pilot in this game. It'll come man. Just take a breather! :)

The e-mail address is in the film. :)

This has nothing to do with trying to be a 'respected' pilot in this game. Caps had a legitimate question on how I was able to match his climb and this was just an attempt to answer his question. Nothing more. I didn't see his email addy during the film but then I only watched it until the end of the fight and didn't watch the rest of the film because it only had radio banter between the three of us and nothing of value.
So don't worry hblair, you're position of 'Most Respected' pile-it is still intact.

Are you trying to say that anytime I get killed, the conditions which I believe are true are actually overstated and that the opposing pilot out flew me?
No Way!

Oh come on, you know you were showboating, just smile about it man! no need to get all defensive. ;)

If I was showboating I would have posted the films where were I smack him around in his plane of 'expertise', which is a plane that I pretty have have less than 5 minutes of flying time in.
I've known Caps since AW3/MV, so this wasn't like I was schooling some llama. He wanted to duel me some and see how I did some stuff. This is no different than any other films I've posted here.
