Okay guys,
Sorry I've been a bit busy as of late to reply. I've tried recording my practice attempts a few times, but fate has been working against me
I'll try to capture some footage again in the near future.
I have been practicing, and I have noticed that pushing forward too quickly does cause the left wing to stall out. What I imagine a perfect hammerhead looks like is a sort of cartwheel effect where you aren't rolling with your left vector down but instead turning about the axis of the lift vector. I haven't been able to do this perfectly under 100MPH, but if I start it near that speed I can work with throttle and rudder to do a slow turning arc using my rudder like an elevator.
I've noticed that if I try to do the hammerhead to the left, I get a lot more hang time, it just feels a lot harder to control.
I've also managed to get the torque to flip my lift vector below the horizon on several actions, which is nice, but not quite the way I imagine the move to work that I'm trying to master. I'll keep practicing and eventually I'll get it right. My next task, after that, is to master the barrel role defense, that one seems ruff for me but that might be because I'm thinking about it too stiffly in "perfect symmetry" instead of in relation to how the enemy is flying.
P.S. Where's a good, non-viral ridden place I can upload any game footage for you guys to look at?
