The above statements make no sense whatsoever.

The only "turn" in the letter "D" is the long way around so a slower plane won't catch anything.

If you're talking about cutting across the opponent's turn, that would be the straight portion of the "D" which does not involve a turn.

Of course, even glazing over the obvious ridiculousness, the answer to you question of "what do you do" depends on where I am relative to him and his flight vector relative to mine. For example, if he's on my starboard wing heading directly away from me AND I want to keep him in my forward hemisphere I would make a turn to starboard.

To simply say that someone would turn left in all situations is just stupid.

they will turn left if its indiferent as with friendly base behind

knowing this you can cut his way

whats stupid of this if even you admitted to have a tendency to turn left?

A "tendency" is not a sure thing and just because his base is directly behind him does not imply indifference. What if there is a bandit to his right that he wants to engage, or friendlies he would like to join with, or another friendly airfield at which he would like to land, or any one of a billion things that could make a right turn a more attractive choice?

The thought that he will make a 270° turn to the left just to change heading 90° to the right is pretty stupid.

i said base SOUTH not right

of course its a game of chances but dont you think to know people tendency to turn left its an advanatge, when you bnz for example you can predict him

or are you denying your tendency to trun left which yourself admitted?

What are you even talking about?

The word south does not appear in ANY of your previous posts. Of course, the actual direction is meaningless when you're simply talking about turning right or left.

Why are you suddenly mentioning a relative heading of south? It makes no sense whatsoever?

Have you considered asking the university to revoke your "filology degree"?

If it's a game of chances then you DO NOT KNOW they will turn left. If you don't know then you can't predict.

Show me ANYTHING in my posts that even comes close to making even the slightest implication that I denied my tendency to turn left.

Look at the shops you are visiting: Most of them are arranged in a way that you make a left turn when going trough it....

@Kongo-Otto: You always only use 1 nostril at the time...

raaaid 04-30-2012 10:28 PM

oh god outlaw you look like a woman in argue mode, i have no time nor will for that, i think i made myself clear except for a contrarian

The spiral staircase in my old apartment spirals up to the RIGHT.

Though weirdly when you try and go down again it spirals to the LEFT.

The real question is how does the staircase KNOW whether you are going up or down and change its spiral to match.

Its a bit like how do mirrors KNOW to reflect left/right but not up/down.

Perhaps its to do with the way your DNA spirals :D
