I've dove on 190's to see them do this move I think, or something similar. Unless there is a HUGE speed differential, don't go into the zoom...

Sure Deez, that sounds like a workable plan. When do you want to get together to do it?

Also- Swulfe. Clarify please- what exactly am I "wrong" about.

Thats like me popping into a thread and saying "You are full of toejam, Swulfe, but you normally are".

See what I mean here?

BTW, Leph- is the sustained turn of the P51D really better than that of the D9? I had always assumed otherwise, but I've never really been in a sustained turn with one. Usually they try to run away once they mess up the bounce, and turning slows you down.

Well, I don't really know for sure which one is the better sustained turner, but when it degenerates to low speed, I'd guess the Pony. It's nice multi-angle combat flaps can make the difference here, and I believe will give the Pony the edge.

However, neither fellow really wants to be in that position, least of all the Pony driver since the D9's accelleration is superior. Where the pony will use that low speed handling is in a horizontal rolling scissors, I'd bet the Pony will kill a D9 in that move once things get slow enough.
