Show me your dogfighting skills....

[Wayc00lio]

You guys are very good - I'm rubbish in comparison. I can never get close enough for a proper good squirt.

Not really "dogfighting" skills.. but couldn't see a better place to post it.

having fun editing some footage, here is the end of one dog fight

Judging by the amount of direct cannon hits it took to bring it down, thats an AI right? :)

Yes AI, and reported by me, ED are working on it :)

I must say I too find it difficult to bring down any AI fighters!

 

 

I am practising, pending the Normandy release, on the four WW2 modules I own, Me 109, FW 190, Mustang and Spit. Out of all of them the Mustang is most stable to fly, with the Me 109 next, then FW 190 and Spit the last?

 

 

Apart from my lousy dogfighting skills (for me, its like hitting a Bee with a pea shooter whilst on a garden swing!) the damage to the AI (enemy) is always very low. Possibly because I am only scoring a couple of hits per dogfight.

 

 

My biggest problem seems to be high speed stalls when in the Spitfire and FW. The 109 and Pony are stable and smooth? But by far the worst for me is the Spit. Seemingly weak guns and a tendency to bite me if I am in a high speed turn, without any G induced blackout? She will suddenly drop a wing and I end up fighting it?

 

 

So if DCS can add a little more punch to the 20mm shells, it would help!

 

 

Mud moving is going to be my Normandy speciality, I doubt I would take on any fighters! I am going to leave that to the wingmen.

 

 

So I need either a Jug or a Tiffy...please?

 

 

Best regards

Dogfighting with my new proposed 22% saturation on the pitch. Worked remarkably well.

Here is my practice today in the third mission from the top.

==========================================

Spitfire

Instant Action - Caucasus - Dogfight 2 Spitfires vs 2 x FW-190 D-9 AI

 

 

Maybe just me - but I find that the German FW-190 AI piloted Birds are much Peskier Opponents than in the P-51D Module.

 

In Spitfire, I can Saddle Up in Rear Aspect just Fine - but the AI German Pilot are much more Aggressive (or Skilled) in their Defensive Maneuvering and I find it much more dificult to get a Good (In Plane) Tracking Gunshot than fighting the FW-190 in the P-51 Module.

 

Just me ?

3:55 and 5:50 some naughty kills, that first 109 flew for over 15miles like that, things a damn tank.

Even with the new damage model it takes some magic to bring down FW190A8s haha.  I was playing the Big Show campaign and you have a furball with 40 of them...it took 22 impacts (mostly 20mm shells) before it finally went down.  That also was about all the ammo I had haha.  I do think the convergence area is key, but I have been working hard to figure it out.  Ce la ví.

I'm new to the multiplayer scene, so this dogfight against a well-flown Bf109 showed me the difference between human and AI pilots.

 

 

[GR00VYJERRY]

Here is our most recent spitfire sortie. The plane is always a pleasure to fly. 

 

[Doc3908]

A quick online sortie...

A 90 min thrash around on the 4YA Normandy training server

Not much skill involved when fighting AI, they just beg to get shot.
