How to do a flip

[winny]

Have you been playing hawx by any chance...?

[Crosshair14]

No

[winny]

Just sounded like a hawx-esque move..

Is it the move that bobbysocks suggested? is it a forwards or backwards tumble? Is it even a tumble? I'm just curious now..

[Crosshair14]

I dont really care bobby didnt suggest it to me. I just is wondering.

[bobbysocks]

the slickest move i ever saw was when we went to the gathering of mustangs a few years ago and they had an F22 going throuhg its routine. it did a 3/4 tumble....basically did a 180 at a stand still. i couldnt believe my eyes but he did it several times....now this would be a killer move! reverse direction on a dime....but that aint happening with these type of aircraft...

crosshair, i hope you dont think i was making fun of you or trying to put you down. if that is the impression you got i apologize....that was not my intention at all.

It's that switch next to the thrust vectoring control, you know.. just underneath the cloaking device activation knob..

I'm bailing out of this thread.. it's f**ked.

I take no offense to it.

I'm very biased in favor of su-27 series... but the 35 can flat-spin too, and even fly backwards, a little bit, as long it's part of a double backflip.

Maybe that's what crosshair means, a backflip... still no way is a ww2 fighter gonna do that, not under control at least.

crosshair when you've got someone on your 6, the best thing is to either:

1) bravely run away, if you've got the speed or energy advantage
2) make a rolling out-of-plane turn. The bogey will be trying to line your flight path up with their guns plane, so don't fly a straight line across their field of vision. If you roll while turning, they have to aim for a snapshot instead, since you'll pass through their guns plane for only a split second.

One of the classic ways is to yank the stick back, apply a slow roll, and as soon as you evade their snapshot, keep turning (elevator) towards them, rolling to keep them in sight on your near wing or above your canopy. Basically you'll start barrel-rolling around them. If they don't start barrel-rolling back, they'll overshoot. Then it's their turn to bravely run away like Sir Robin.
