I understand your ordeal, Furio :) Not having read (more than) enough of all this, you don't know whom and what to beleive:)))[/QUOTE]

My ordeal ends here. I’ve not read enough books. PE_tihi read a lot of them, and can say at a glance if a witness says facts and truths, or only opinions, or writes ridiculous theories. I’ll keep all my doubts for myself. This is my last post in this thread

You may be caught in a dive by a Zero practically in only these two situations (in game)...

-you've been chased by Ai - it does not obey same rules as humans,
-you have been in initial stages of dive (i.e. only stated to build up speed).

In all other situations you will clearly outdive A6M2 in game.

Yeah, it was that. It was the early zero, not the "Hamp". How can the AI not follow the same rules as humans? I thought it had been said that they were all one flight model now.

It was a long shallow dive, I had plenty of time to build up speed (I wasn't high enough that a steep dive would have gained me enough separation), it'd have caught me by rights if I'd stayed level, but there was nothing but flying in a straight line downwards, no turning, nothing, so there was no way better flying should have made a difference, but still it caught up with me. :evil:

well, human flown a A6M2-21 brakes at ~650km/h IAS and a A6M3 at ~700km/h IAS.

my experience is that the AI does not care about these limitations...................
same proplem is if you flying LW against early soviet AI controlled stuff.
