How it's done: Controlling the fight from a lower energy state with a slower plane

[Talon_]

Hi guys

 

Just a little instructional video to demonstrate how you can use an opponent's aggression against him in equalising a large energy differential, even if his plane outperforms yours. In this video it's Bf109G-14 vs Spitfire LF IX however these fundamental techniques apply to all matchups with a faster, better climbing aircraft against a slower, better turning one.

 

Enjoy the video - sorry I talk a little fast!
