Dogfight training
Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 12:34 pm
I'd like to set up an occasional session with the intent of going through the do's and don'ts of dogfighting, hopefully with Mikesters help.
Last night Homicide joined us and said it was useful, so I thought I would open it out to all FI who are interested. Last night we spent mainly looking at how to merge but could probably do with doing it again.
Frankly I'm open to ideas about what to cover, if there is some thing or situation that you find difficult and want to look at. Things that come to mind for me are:-
Merging.
Advanced Combat manuevers (that actually help
).
Getting a bandit off your 6.
Defending against BnZ.
How to BnZ.
Fighting multiple opponents (when you have to!).
How to fight as a pair.
That sort of thing. I don't want it to be too heavy or ego denting just informative. It would be fine if you just want to watch and listen (I'll try not to get drunk and talk too much
).
An awful lot can be learned just by being talked through a fight by someone who knows what they are doing, as it often about choices made as much as flying skill that determine what happens and who wins.
I was thinking Thursday evening time. If it goes ahead next week I'll put it up on the diary.
Please feel free to give your thoughts and suggestions.
