Have you ever heard of it?I have never tested this is dogfight but i need 4 other people.Lets say there are 4 sopwith camels and they spot an albatros.The camels can form a circle and turn the same way rotating.If the albatros get behind one of the camels another camel will be on its tail.It requires precision and timing.This tactic was highly used in the Vietnam War.I would like for some people to test this.

I think our planes are more powerful and agile then the real planes therefore we dont get locked into simple wagon wheels. Most people will change directions. If you look at two people dogfighting from a distance, they resemble flies more than planes. Have u ever seen two flies dogfighting over a half eaten burger

yep

thats us

heres a youtube video I found of lapa, 420 and skydavis

enjoy :woohoo:

Please go read my new post about the agility of the real planes, in the "aircraft" section of the forum. BTW they kinda do look like flies at times.
