Saggs has just made my point for asking about the ammo load out for the yak 3, or for the Meteor for that matter. As I remember it Yaks in this game dispense of their cannons rather rapidly.
In the MA, Late War at least, I can tell you what planes I am most likely to face. With the exception of the dedicated P38 and Jug enthusiasts, and a sprinkling of Zeke and Brewster base defenders, it will be the fastest available planes, meant to chase every depleted E fighter down. These planes include the La7, P51D, Bf109K4, and Spit16. The latter not being so much faster but able to maintain E longer and therefore same effect.
To combat these uber fast rides on my six usually (more than one), I was told to keep the plane of your wings outside of the plane of their wings, to reduce the area in which their rounds would trace your aircraft (especially for wing mounted guns on your attackers plane). Imadot, explains why such rolling and reverse roll maneuvers may show irradic movements on the front end of the pursuer. I had wondered why the smoke from Rolex and FLS during their demonstration in the training arena, showed sharp angled maneuvers instead of smooth control movement that I would expect from listening to the lecture on just that. Also, I chaulked it up to the film viewer limitations.
I have spent hours upon hours to get the smooth stick movements (trying to defeat nose bounce -- lost cause) especially in WWI aircraft. So
shouldn't trump
in my opinion
