I noticed two 190s attacking our convoy on TAW. I proceed to engage them, and this video is an analysis of that engagement.

What graphics card do you have to handle the game at that resolution?

q: why did you decide on the UW and not a 4K? (im considering).

.

I know it feels good to get a couple kills at once, but those 190's are just plane dogs (pun) in a dogfight. they absolutely cannot turn...you saw the 1st guy get shakey, and the 2nd one had full flaps trying to help his turn (and stall recovery), but the full flaps kill any kind of speed that would normally help (very little).

.

i have tried and tried to figure out the 190 for fighting and gave up tonite. its a piece of junk. besides the lucky bounce before being seen, the only hope a 190 pilot has for survival is a straight retreat, and even that doesn't always work - ive been caught by la5's and migs trying to run, and any yak that has a little altitude advantage (as you did here). im disappointed because i really wanted to make the 190 work. it feels like a rock to fly.

.

btw, i was not one of your 190 victims...;>/

I have an Asus Laptop with a Geforce 980m that I got about two years ago with my monitor. I get 60fps on the ground, and 80-90fps in the air. I'm considering upgrading to a new computer, but I have to save some Benjamins first.

At the time I bought my monitor, it was 600$ and a 4k monitor of the same size was about 3000$. So, mostly because of price, I chose the ultra-wide.

@Gump 34 uw curved monitor with 3440x1440 would be great for BOS but most have only 60hz without g-sync. Before buy i would need to compare, how step down from my 120hz low imput lag Benq feel.

Good combat. The fokes could kill you if they run and make coordinate flight but in a turn fight no chance for a good yak pilot like you. 

See you on the servers

Is possible trk file from this fight? Thx.

Nice fight Sketch. Best I´ve liked is your S.A. never loosing both of their movements. Also calm attitude and smoothness is key. Very nice fight.  :good:

I am impressed by your situational awareness throughout, if your analysis is an accurate reflection of your real time thinking

then you are a very good pilot.
