Post Match Trng - 05nov06

Chaps

I hope I am not stepping on anyones toes who are experienced and consider that I am out of place trying to train our pilots

I hope the trng into 109k4 BnZ tactics was useful.

109K4 Characteristics:

- Best climb rate in game.

- WEP lasts for 10mins and does not recover

- first 1% damage always takes out the WEP

- Cannon rounds (Dark) cause best damage in game (33.4% to a Spit Mk16)

- Cannon jams after 5 rounds!

To recap:

- Position: 5000ft from enemy well above and behind to be able to make a diving attack with a near 45deg plus nose down angle.

- Attack once only.

- Commence firing at 1200ft or less (absolute max cannon range is 1400ft)

- If kill - Great

- If miss or damage only - Zoom

- Zoom = Pull smoothly to 45deg nose up selecting max opening heading from enemy. (If they avoid left go right etc). Continue climb until at least 5000ft from target. Most enemy can shoot a max of 2200ft, jink slightly until beyond.

- Never allow the enemy to point at you within 2500ft.

Next week is how to counter the 109k4 BnZ attack.

yer the bit of practice i had time for after the game helped a fair bit, main problem i have is ok 1v1 great but when you have 2 soviet planes closing and your diving on a spit with another near by I get all mudled up scared and shot down!

NO Problem with me AirMarshal Gosling! We can use all the pointers and info as well as one on one training possible.

4 Squad starts early December!

Right we will make Situation Awareness a feature of a future trng session.
