Hello everybody,
in those past days I re-readed andy bush articles at simhq,.
I founded a problem that is happenning to me about the h&r tactic, or extend after my attack on an enemy plane .
I tried all the things that andy explain there concerned to the h&r tactic everything works fine to me when you need to disengage after the dive , ie. more enemy planes comes etc, but if the figth is vrs 1 enemy and hes flying a plane with a good acceleration, turn an climb, I messed all.
I dive , extend, zoom, turn and when rdy to the next attack the enemy has gained some E because he tryied to catch me an he gained somne speed too at my extension maneuver, so when Im ready to re-attack, he:
1) will change directions to head on me to denied his 6 angle. and look the h2h shot
2) if I better try a front quarter attack ,
I founded is very dangerous because he have E to try the h2h and generally I die this way because my f4ud guns sucks at this point,
what
I do to attack by hes front quarter , is when Im comming back I try to get some lateral separation, when I see him at my 10-11 or 1-2 o'clock I hard turn and dive on him but he have the E to turn too climb and search for the h2h shoot.
so what Im missing? is there something I dont understand jet?,or Im doing wrong? I just found it usefull to disengage vrs. an slow plane.
not like an ofensive maneuver.
I did that the other day vrs. an 190 that was bouncing on me he extended them re-entered figth but I has gained speed trying to catch him at his extend , and he tries first to search my 6 I never give it to him, them he tries a frontal attack I looked for the h2h shot, and both get killed
, ,I think I won more because he was the attacker and he had the all advantage, because I was flying low an slow with my Dhog. what this guy should do to kill me?
sorry for the long post, but my english sucks and I dont find the short and correct words to explain it
any help????
