WildBillKelsoe Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Hi all. Attached is my first 1 on 1 vs. Bf 109K. Please critique my performance and use timestamps (eg. 00/05/37 HH/MM/S) for reference. http://www.mediafire.com/download/r897k47lp0f7m79/Fighting_Kurfurst_ACMI.acmi Thank you AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Thumper1606688436 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 It was an entertaining dog fight to watch and you had a few chances of your own for the kill. Your opponent used the YO-YO manoeuvre to great effect many times on you. But you used good defensive manoeuvres yourself to negate a lot of their advantage. What ultimately let you down through out the fight was that you were pulling many more G's to get nose on target because you were travelling too fast. Your opponent was travelling much slower than you (less than 300kph) throughout and combined with using the rudder during turns was able to get guns on you sooner. My only other advice would be when you're in front of them and looking to make a pull turn into them avoid flying just horizontally during the turn. Use diagonal climbs or dives at it's much harder for them to maintain guns on you.
WildBillKelsoe Posted December 19, 2014 Author Posted December 19, 2014 Thank you for your input. Yes, I admit to pulling too much G's on my stick. I'll see if I can incorporate rudder into the turn, but obviously boom and zoom tactic, and, like you said, high yo-yo, are the only two techniques AI know. I will also drop down my speed and practice with control locks to keep it below 300 kph. I will update here with few more ACMI tracks to show progress.

WildBillKelsoe Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Update: This is the 1 on 1 2 mustang mission track, just changed the REDFOR to Bf-109K Kurfurst. I took your advice with using rudder. It paid off. http://www.mediafire.com/download/d5xyug9v809dd9k/Saddled_Kurfurst.acmi AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below.

Thumper1606688436 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Great kill! I got concerned for you at 08:23:20 when it looked like you were in real trouble. But you either spotted this just in time or made an instinctive defensive manoeuvre to get yourself out of trouble. After that you dominated the rest of the dogfight. Just need to learn to release that trigger finger sooner ;)
WildBillKelsoe Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 the real challenge is flying against humans. It is more rewarding than repetitive AI hunting. Someone once said, there is no hunting like human hunting (I belive it was Lance Henriksen from that old Van Damme movie).
