Dogfighting the 109

[PL_Harpoon]

I've decided to practice my dogfighting skills in the Jug as they've become a little bit rusty so I've set up a simple mission.

 

The opponent is an AI Bf-109, Veteran difficulty.

 

I've attached a Tacview track file.

Even though I've won I feel like there's still lots of room for improvement.

I'd appreciate any feedback/advice/comments/anything.

 

Cheers!

Finally managed to defeat ace AI!

 

Here's the video:

 

I've also attached a Tacview file if anyone's interested.

 

Cheers.

Nice, one note you need to open oil cooler a little bit more, you were sitting at 100C not healthy for engine.

Yeah, usually I leave it at around 60% and it never overheats.

Not much time to do that in this dogfight though

Good job,   

however, I could feel you struggling against the weight of the plane. You would have done much better in a Spit or Stang.

If you can get the Bolt lined up, the eight .50's are devastating.
