weakest part of my game

[Tiger]

My ability to spell.

[humble]

Simply stated I fly stupid. Green means go and Red means stop so I go from the green bar and stop at the Red bar. Obviously I've either got Custer or Pickett in my bloodlines (hell , maybe both:)).

Anyway I often find myself part of "the few, the proud...the vastly out numbered:O ...


Now once involved in the scrum I tend to "stay on target" just a second to long. Often giving up to much to one guy to get a good look at the 1st. I tend to fire a bit to much ammo either "fishing the nose", encouraging the con to turn or outside my own effective range (especially vs tiffies, 190's etc).

Thank for the nice words Carwash (he's a former squaddie for those who don't know).

I always seem to miss that invisible plane on my six, while I am working a con on my twelve!  UGH!  99.9% of my deaths from this!  I would say SA on my six...

[Solar10]

My weakness is the love for the Mossie and taking it into situations where a more superior plane would struggle to survive.

Before this thread I was highly aware of my gunnery and SA weaknesses.

After reading through all these post I have discovered lots of other weaknesses I never would have thought out myself!

Proactive rather than reactive planning when engaged - way too often I find myself solely reacting to my opponents moves rather than planning my own  - essentially, thinking only a single movement ahead instead of two.

[waystin2]

I really should not be doing this at work, it’s hard enough to take care of my print shop!  Anyway, I thought of a few more:

1)   Saddling up a bomber like it’s a fighter even though I know it has 6 or more .50 cals pointed right at me, blazing away…
2)   Forgetting to release my drop tank before entering a dogfight…(sort of a drag, get it? drag?!?)
3)   Moving the joystick to rapidly and inducing a semi-stall or stall…

Thanks for the good post Bat!  My whole workday is shot.

weakest point for me id basic ACM defense. Using a barrel roll works only for a few seconds. After that, I'm usually toast because I'm on the deck and slow. That means break left, right, or go vertical. That means easy kill.

BTW, is it me, or does the F6F have some pretty vunerable elevators?

[Simaril]

Biggest problem right now is being too aggressive with inputs -- I havent gotten the knack for first doing the roll portion, neutralizing the airelons, and THEN doing the elevator part. Because I'm always rolling AND pulling back at the same time, the airflow gets really disrupted and I stall at much lower Gs than I should.

Gets really annoying in a fight, because the problem shows up the most at the very most critical times -- low speed and sharp AoA make flight surfaces approach stall anyway, so I rarely do my best in turning fights against equal to better opponents.

< BTW -- A big "Thanks" to Murdr for helping me see why I was stalling so much. Now I just need to get it out of my head and into the muscle memory! >

[RedTop]

My weakness lies between when the plane starts roling off the runway until it hits the ground. Everything inbetween those times is my weakness.
