Hello,

I created some mission with F15C at excellent skill, with no ammo, to practice turning dogfight. If someone will try mission attached: at the begining there is one bandit, you spawn another four via radio menu(F10).

 

In attachment there is .miz file and tacview file(add .acmi extension to open it in tacview). I would like to ask for comments and advices, and if I can ask, I would like you some of experienced pilots, to take a few minutes of your time and fly this mission using only canon for kill and post your tacview file...

Thank you..

Your speed management was Good. Be careful not to get too fast in the diving turns. If the fight develops in to a descending 1 circle affair, or spiral, with you and the opponent equally matched, the winner will usually be the one who does the best transition to level flight at the bottom. Try to practice converting a descending scissors or descending spiral to a flat 1 or 2 circle fight. The more energy you can preserve, without going over your corner velocity, the more chance at success you'll have.

 

The F-15's exhibited some very strange AI behaviour. This may have been a product of the fact that the AI knew it had no cannon ammunition loaded and therefore tried to simply avoid you rather than actively fight.

 

I'd recommend trying the same mission, but give the F-15's full cannon ammo and set yourself to invulnerable. That way you'll be able to review where you potentially would have been shot down without having to restart the mission every time, and I think this would also produce more reliable AI combat behaviour.
