Cool stuff.... Yeah for sure you was bracketed (sandwiched).

Boom&zooming a pair being alone is all abt going in straight lines (just like ironing with long and straight pass on your adversary) and adapting to the situation.

With two in your visor you hve to adopt an angle for your pass tht allow you to switch from one target to the other at the last moment without bleeding too much E. This is done by angling out your enmy that they appears both aligned in your visor (as much as possible). So basically, you are not attacking one aircraft in particulary but the pair as a lot and can choose which one is your victim depending on how they react. Once they start manoeuvring hard (right break here), don't try to keep them in front of you. Extend smoothly and regain alt for another pass.

Usually I keep my foot one one rudder pedal guessing on which side they will break (flying slightly sideways) to be ready to quick it for a last seconds snapshot (with opposite 'ron).

By the way I like those honest Spit vid where the plane keep a nose authority that won't make shy a Sidewinder (there is another one posted somewhere here tht hve to be seen to be believed)
