Looking for criticism and advice

[tunnelrat]

In this tussle I am flying a Spit V vs a C-Hog... 

Just looking for pointers/feedback on mistakes I am making.

I know I blew the snapshot at ~2:21 by firing too late, and I blew the snapshot at ~2:35 based on my line-up...

Looking more for what I did wrong maneuver wise.  I've taken to setting my convergence to 200 as I usually fire very close.

I think you handled his speed well, going hi yo-yo when he moved for the over shoot. Of course you missed the two easy snap shots.

The biggest danger is of course getting too slow with a Corsair, which you know all to well.

When the C-hog caused the overshoot, you seemed to move for a vertical scissors. I would have put my nose down and forced the C-hog to pick up some speed, hit the deck and worked to reset the fight. Instead of going vertical, keeping your nose down he would have likely taken the snap shot, but it would have been more difficult. You could have rolled the other way, separated then re-engaged.

Or something like that. Good fight though

In general you're carrying WAY too much E.  When you dove in at the end you should have throttled off.  You'd have avoided the red-outs/black-outs and been able to maneuver without overshooting (which you did every time).

In addition, on at least a couple of occasions you started to do the right thing by rolling over the top of the F4U but you immediately went for lead pursuit.  You needed to extend the diameter of the helix to stay behind the F4U in lag pursuit.  That also lead to overshoots.

Way to much E like BE said.

Also try lag pursuit on a hog. You put your gun site in front of your target whole time, look where you ended up...in front of him. Keep your guns behind him and you will stay behind him.

When F4Us pull out their flaps, Diving can be your best bet. F4us flaps don't retract very quickly and the amount of lift generated by them makes their dive acceleration terrible.

As a general rule I don't pull my flaps out until I'm ready to line up my shot.


You should watch Latrobes Videos on throttle work, looked like that was what got you. Also when you overshoot try to avoid your opponents gun, looked like you lined yourself up for him more than anything. A good way to turn an overshoot into a opportunity is to go into a spiral climb. This will make it harder for you opponent to line up a shot and its very possible you could end up roping your him.

You guys are awesome, thanks a million!

I will look for Latrobe's video as well.

I know you don't want to deal with people arguing with your advice, but why don't you just post it anyway. A lot of people read these posts to learn.

And throttle work as others said is very important.

His answer before was something along the lines of "the OP ask so I only answered the OP" or some other BS.

He seems to enjoy going out of his way to annoy others. Doing it by PM he gets to be helpful as well a annoying.

I'm glad he sent a pm, spared this thread from turning into a Genitals measuring contest.
