Maybe in WB, but not here. Bleed that E, Spitty

BOELCKE'S DICTA

 Try to secure advantages before attacking. If possible keep the sun behind you. Always carry through an attack when you have started it. Fire only at close range and only when your opppment is properly in your sights. Always keep your eye on your opponent, and never let yourself be decieved by ruses. In any form of attack it is essential to assail your opponent from behind. If your opponent dives on you, do not try to evade his onslaught, but fly to meet it. When over the enemy's lines, never forget your own line of retreat. Attack on principle groups of four or six. When the fight breaks up into a series of single combats, take care that several do not go for one opponent.

 Pretty much sums it all up doesn`t it?

P.S.

It wasn't me there. But think about it again, Spatula. If he went HO in 109 vs Spit, how come he survived ? Did you have a shot there ?

Hey Hristo, i avoid HO religously - thats my number 1 rule. So never would have i had a shot to take in anything like a HO. I discod before i could get him.

BTW, i was quite annoyed at the time, and this thread probably was not called for. So i apologise.
It is damned anoying tho - Lets not forget he HAD the advantage.

Spat probably had a shot but chose to avoid the direct HO and use ACM to saddle up
That's what I try to do

Indeed - see my apology above.

If he lived - then who are you to judge his tactics? Seemed to work out for him, no?

He lived cause i discod (and prolly for having a faster plane).

Originally posted by Nash:

If he died, then come on this board to post how he might improve - if you must. But man, going on about someone who didn't want to fight your particular fight is a little... weak.

I was pissed off. Good point.

And I'm not buying the HO bit. "He turned back and went for the HO"... Four times? It's cliche, I know, but... it takes two to tango. Seems to me, if he's the one reversing, it's up to YOU and only you to decide if the merge is going to be a head-on or not.

This is where i disagree. The best way to avoid the HO is to set it up so i looks like you going to take it, then avoid it by a break turn or barrel roll. I do this all the time. I myself arent going for HO.

My point was he was in a superior climbing plane with a significant advantage in E. How about some basic ACM???

The plane on top has ALL the options! If he's smart he'll circle for a rear quarter solution instead of just diveing at the con.

He was on top to start with ...


 

Originally posted by Ghosth:

Next time your flying take a good look at what YOU could do differently if you don't like HO's!

In a spit i aint gunna let him take a rear quarter shot if i can help it. I will turn into him to avoid it. My original point was to start with he had the advantage made one pass then ran (in a dive). giving up his advantage. I have seen better than this.
