How's it going with 1.2.2 AI dogfighting?

Did you see his post here:

He has a vid in there...

 

Sure did, I would like a .trk file from someone if possible so I can choose my own POV from within DCS

I don't think anyone's finding the AI 'easy', just possible every once in a while - hence not too many tracks for a while I guess - All I've done is smoke him a couple or three times since returning to dogfighting & using 1.2.2 (but it's only a matter of practise).

 

Yo-Yo's track is an excellent example of what I (personally) find is key - i.e. 'The Lift Line' (the yellow cross is pretty much showing this). Judicious positioning of the lift line - & using lead / true / trail pursuit principles whilst turning is what gets me on its ass, (assuming we understand the need of preserving energy of course). Don't just restrict these pursuit principles to when he's in the HUD!!

 

I'm no hot shot (by a long way!) but am getting fairly quickly back up to speed with dogfighting after some previous success with AI dogfighting and its all possible, believe me. As soon as I got on his 6 last Saturday, I was happy because then it's just a matter of gunnery!

 

You can defeat the AI with some homework and lots of practise!

 

If no one else posts a kill, I'll post 'a getting on his 6' track anyway.

OK give me 24hrs and will post a raw vid and will try and stick a TRK file up as well, but not done this before....

 

EDIT: Forgot to say - Nice flying, nice kill Yo-Yo!!

Please can any of you guys that find it easy to defeat the AI post a regular trk so I can see how it's done? All I offer in return is my gratitude :)

 

Well it's not easy taking down the enemies... but i am approaching 50/50 on the fights currently... Here is a track..

Is anybody lucky vs 2 excellent AIs? I found this scenario very amazing. One mistake or too much time chasing one of them - and that's all for you...

 

This is a record of the flight that could be very lucky if the shooting was better or pony carried more ammo.

 

Anyway - one of the foe AI is grounded, one had a tank leaking and the player is home and dry though landed on a road.
