BnZ isn't just hitting and running to 4k before turning around for another pass.

Agreed based on the diagram it's a pretty standard aggressive BnZ tactic which will work a lot better than just zooming into space every pass.

i probably just have the wrong idea then, of bnz. i always thought it was the guy dropping, taking a shot, and going back up, setting up for another pass.

... thats what the diagram shows, just using lag displacement to set up the next pass, so you can maintain E to carry on BnZing (rolling with aileron to track the victim's turn burns far less E than pulling with elevators). essential technique for BnZ esp. in a jug where you cant afford to burn E (cus you cant get it back quickly.)

dont have one myself (although I do use the BRD alot) but theres some Ive noticed others doing. these are real sig moves because if you see it you know exactly who the other guy is.

ghi's neg-G thingy in the iL2 is very effective (and very annoying because once you see it drop below your guns you're committed and you know whats going to happen next ... ).

theres also a kind of half-BRD thingy (hard to describe) that some guys in the Few use. they must practice this because eg. Bone and Bruv do it completely identically. nice overshoot technique that doesnt seem to burn much E at all. must remember to film it next time

I like climbing to 30K...then I keep my eye out for early war, or damaged aircraft. Then I'll drop in, shoot them in the face, and after I miss...I'll hit the deck and rtb.

BUT IF you stay low, aren't you now wasting fuel?

Spit 8 & the hide the "E" manuever.  I always wish I could see someones eyes go wide when that Spit VIII follows their vertical move right on up to 200 off their tail!

152-h1 and I like to force the overshoot with a roll or set up a nice rope.  

On squad channel, we like to jokingly refer to "The Sukov Maneuver" as a mythical quintuple immelman that only sukov can perform.

My sig move is obviously strafing jeeps in perk planes.

109K4. Signature move below, though it has a low sucess rate in the MA's non-1v1-enviornment. I have better examples at home, but this will do.

Spit 9 - "The Krupinski Reversal" (you have to ask him)...I just try to move outa the way.  I'm not much for alt fighting, mostly because I suck at it.  I prefer the deck.  Another one that works great is a negative G push OUT while in a tight flat turn, followed by bringing the wings level and then pulling the stick back into your crotch so that you crush your acorns.  Bogey loses you under his nose, then your plane stalls on top of him and you both die.  Carnage I tell you!

HurriIIC - "Secret Merge" .  It turns....and it shoots well.  Again, the deck please.  Specifically the "Diving Barrel Roll" as many of you have seen me try to get away from you because you have gotten on my 6 in one turn.  This maneuver ensures my quick demise so I can reup with a perk plane and die again, sans the perk points.  I have enjoyed a few of you passing right by in your 51D's as my sissy plane slows down in during the roll.
