Whats you favorite defensive move?

[Mk10 225th]

I've found that rolling back the cockpit and screaming like a girl helps.

  Best defensive move I had was to quit flying online. Those four goomers circling the field offline have not hit me once.

Split-S.  If the look like they will overshoot I fake the Split-S and make it a barrel roll and come up on their 6 and blast them.

My best defensive move is to drag poor bloody bastards through my ack.

Its bloody fricking brilliant!  Works every time!

If im slowish and speed disparity is large, the simple flat sissors works well or barrell-roll defense.

If im fast, rope-a-dope is my trade-mark. Or just run for a while and watch em dive to get the speed to keep up with me, then i slowly climb a bit then level out a bit for a bit more speed (320+), if they are still following, zoom climb for a simple rope-a. Or wait for them to give up, then run them down.

Didnt your mummy tell you that chasing mustangs all by yourself is a dangerous game?

Lol yeager! I hate you!  


My favourite defensive (when con on my 6)is a corkscrew dive to gain time and make the attacker get in close followed by high-speed sciscors once I decide the con is close enough for it to work.

I try something like funked said when im being jumped from above. The P38 can keep that nose up a loong time and spray lotta lead at a con thats zooming up    

Lephturn: Ask Frenchy how he does that #$#@ vertical turn in that flying tank of his. Never been able to figure out how he does it.

Low and (not too) slow 2 things work.
If bogie on your 6 combine horisontal scissors with vertical and drop the throttle at the right moment = forced overshoot.Dubious against multi cannon sprayers, but nothing new there.
If bogie on or ahead of your wing vectors place him 45 degrees ahead of ving and pull up.Works every time.

In the tiffie... if its a Yak or a 51 high speed dive level off then flick into a high speed barrel roll.

Then try and reverse as fast as possible to ping the wingless <yak/51> with 1 x 20mm to make sure I get the kill  

Or the other is a high speed low level split-S reverse at 3000 asl. I get good aircraft to water results, especially with 109s... they make pretty splashes.

Split esse to avoid initial firing pass, then:

Mustang, Typhoon:  run away.

Spit, Nik, Zero, Yak:  turn.

FW190, Corsair, P47:  scissors.

Me109: climb.  

[Wotan]

to simply avoid being killed i agree with Ed split esse and run extend climb and kill in 51....

In a 109 I like pulling straight up 90 degrees. Put on WEP, and let any loser fly up thinking they'll get you. Get to the top of your climb and fall back, get your stalled out friend in your sights and blast em. Works almost every time.

Yep a classic 109 drag. Love it. Use that rate of climb to it's fullest. Work it in the vertical.

Hmmm....favorite defensive move, huh?  

I find that disguising myself as a fireball and then teleporting back to nearest tower works real well.    There's no way the guy on my 6 can find me then.
