Awesome flying bat.  I expected some videos of you valiantly fighting to the death against greater numbers and taking a couple with you.  Instead, it is just absolute ownage.

As for the film "AIpwn," well... yeah.

anyone else want to add thier own clips that would be cool, im not the best out there by a long way.

All of your attackers show zero throttle management and zero patience at setting up a high % guns pass.  They all think "If I overshoot, I'll just circle around for another shot because I'm in a Spit16/N1k."

all those targets dont even have time to think after deciding on the low % shot opener and missing.

its not completely the attackers fault if the defender does a grade A job of looking like an easy kill right up till the last minute.

Bat:

Look, no disrespect, but his needs to be put in perspective.

Every time you post a film, it is based on not only as Anax pointed out, usually a lack of gunnery and throttle control on the opponent's part, but an almost supernatural ability at gunnery on your part.

It ain't gonna happen for most people most of the time. Not the overshoot part, practically every furball involves using an overshoot to defend yourself at one point or the other, but turning that overshoot into a kill against a plane that has energy on you a large percentage of the time-ain't happening for most people most of the time. I say this as someone who has conservatively spent 5-6 hours a week practicing gunnery ALONE for the last two years. So kudos to you on your mastery of a incredibly difficult stunt, but advising the average AH pilot to fly a K-4 beneath the crowd and shoot whatever runs in and overshoots him is a bit like advising the average schmuck in a self-defense course to walk into a biker bar, start trouble, and take down his attackers with head-kicks.

fair comment BnZ, but dont think anyone gets there without spending years reapting the same failed move. If posting a few of these films inspires one new guy to start learning a different approach to virtual air combat in general, then i am satistfied. Do you want me to post hours and hours of long drawn out one on one dogfights vs the best players in the game? That takes long time to practice at also.

connery, if you think i need the praise from you monkeys you can go toss yer caber and toture some baby haggis or soemthing. I post to enlighten new folks with an open mind. I get enough attention in real life.

take the thread for what it is worth and please do hold back on the WTGs. I cannot play hardly at all at the moment so you poor forum goers will have to put up with me spouting this tripe for a while
