in a Ki84

if I am fast (did I just get to 15K or have I been cruising along)

I would head directly to them...depending on my speed, I would try to go for some ALT on them....

you have a much better chance of killing them all if they are trying to come up to you....

fake attacks....try to get them all in the same air space....much easier to reverse 4 cons all close to each other then spread out all over....

fight in the vert, yes even against K4....




time your merge to when they are stalled out, land your hits at convergence....

if they are much faster I would slow down even more and just use over shoots and land hits as they pass by.....fighting nose down, but de-throttled....if they all slow down to within flaps usage, convert immediately to the vert fight....

the best fighters can switch it up with out thinking about it.

This works!
I'll be the first to confirm that, INK showed every above mentionned aspect to me the hard way the other night. Time after time... Even tho I was not in a K4, I don't think my choice in plane really mattered much anyway, I am going to drink my WD40 now and hopefully the rust will go away..

hows that????

I gave him a straight answer...and I am not the only one.

Guess it got lost in the clutter of nonsense posted by others...

I had a great fun time while fighting you, so much that I went looking for you sortie after sortie just to get that adrenaline flowing again.  
Yes higheye is the supreme leader of my squad actually, I'm just a squaddie myself.

(I think I broke my twisty during our last ki84 vs ki84 fight, I had to flip my plane around fast and I twisted hard left rudder so much I could feel something gave..)    

But great fun as always fighting you Sir, even if I did not last too long in any of those fights.    Salute!
