Recently, when I am engaging a con, I have been noticing more and more head on shots that kill me, mostly because I fly big planes, and I am a terrible shot in the head on. Therefore, I have began merging, with a sort of lower barrel roll that turns into an Immelmann. Unfortunatly, I don't know if this is a "bad" method to use, as it brings me out higher than the con, but with less speed, while they are either running away because they didn't get the kill first, extending to get altitude on me for another head on, or pull into some crazy move that gats them at a co-e situation. I ask, "Is there a better method to avoid the head-on shot and pull into a nice cozy six position?"
Pictures or film of what I mean to come.
