1v3 in LA-7
« on: June 27, 2015, 09:31:11 AM »
Another fun run in the MA that turned into a 1v3 vs a 109K-4, Ki-84, and Yak-3. -=S=- to Mariachi and Lestar at the end - collision almost took me down.

Some more ok flying, better shooting in this one too. That was a nice first kill to remove a threat and bring the fight to a 2v1. I noticed you made a mistake later on though. At around 1:45 you initiate a defensive roll (nice work getting them both into the same airspace btw! Allows you to force 2 overshoots in 1 move if done right) and this move works against the first opponent as he's forced to break off but then it looks like you stall your plane slightly (wing stall maybe? Maybe too much rudder? hard to tell from the video alone) and you take your eyes off your opponent to try and recover. This means you don't see the second opponent has not overshoot and he almost kills you. Luckily he does miss his shot and you get away with it.

Remember to be easy on the controls. The last thing you want to be doing is stalling in front of your opponents gunsight.
