Requesting help for evasive maneuver.

Also I think I am giving you the wrong idea about my request. I am not a rookie. I have been flying this game for over 8 years now. It's just since the 4.11, the developing team upgraded the AI, and now the AI planes are not stupid anymore So I need a bit advanced lessens for refreshment purposes.
And that is why I want to see tracks and videos. So I can understand the actual logic in practices.

I'll get simple: if 4.12.2 AI has a firing solution on you, you need to JINK as hard as possible, press tab+8, tab+9+1, and just pray an AI comes to help you before the ennemy AI gets help. Play the AI with same respect as if it was old FB_Viks from VEF days, try to deny a shoot for as long as possible and pray you'll be helped (well Viks would shoot your helping mates too but that's another story).

If you're 100% sure you're on 1 vs 1 try the overshoot (rolling scissors is the best option to me), but there's more than 50% chance you'll get shot in the process.

My usual experience is an AI shooting me at what seems impossible deflection while i'm chasing another one, scoring at least a few hits and impairing greatly my manoeuverability (if not directly getting my pilot or engine), then it's just a question of how long till i die or friendly AI come to rescue my sorry ass.

Sure it's challenging and all, but is it really fun ? I liked the days when i saw tracers passing me and had a chance to defend without getting instantly killed most of the times (it happened but seldom). I think TD/HSFX is good for online and online training (QMB practice), but UP3/DBW/TFM is much better for campaigns.

Hi Flanker.

Your best friend is always going to be experience. There is no other magic wand or trick that is going to turn your luck around.

By coincidence I did a video of a Lagg dodging two Bf109s a while ago and put it up here:

I never felt uncomfortable watching an enemy fighter come in from my six to attack, there are a number of videos on my channel showing fighters attacking my six and ending up on the losing end. My least favorite is the head-on confrontation because they often end up in a collision or both planes getting fatal hits.

If you ever want to meet up online and practice that is fine with me, I will fly the Lagg and you can fly whatever else you want from any year and save the tracks of what we do in case something worthwhile comes out of it.

I always try to fly hard settings when I can, to me anything else is gaming and not simming.

S!
