YouTube some of these terms and have a look for yourself. I'm sure you'll find something that you're lookingfor.

Remember... offensive maneuvering is important so do not dismiss it lightly. You might think you need more defensive but thats a mistake. When on the defensive against a competent foe you're already dead. You always want to maintain a neutral or offensive posture and not be in a situation where the enemy is on the attack. Knowing the right kinds of offensive moves will ensure that you don't get sucked into making a mistake and being put on the defensive.

Sometimes you're faced with no choice but generally speaking these are important things.

Also keep in mind that the LaGG against contemporary fighters is always at a disadvantage. It's simply too heavy and without enough engine power to compete against the Bf109F or G series. The LaGG is good at absorbing some battle damage and its not in a horrible position versus these but the way to win in a LaGG is to ensure you arrive into combat with altitude superiority and that you attack in a smart manner so as it limit the Bf109s effectiveness.

Avoid close in dogfighting in a LaGG. Again...not enough engine power versus the aircrafts weight so any moves that burn a lot of energy you want to avoid. The Bf109 will make up the energy loss almost immediately while you'll be waiting... and thats when they get you.

This is a good aircraft to learn on actually. It's capable but inferior so that when you do get to a better aircraft like the later Yak or La-5 series you'll have fewer bad habits.

No, it's not a lot of work to record video at all. Just use the in game track

Also I think I am giving you the wrong idea about my request. I am not a rookie. I have been flying this game for over 8 years now. It's just since the 4.11, the developing team upgraded the AI, and now the AI planes are not stupid anymore So I need a bit advanced lessens for refreshment purposes.
And that is why I want to see tracks and videos. So I can understand the actual logic in practices.

I'll get simple: if 4.12.2 AI has a firing solution on you, you need to JINK as hard as possible, press tab+8, tab+9+1, and just pray an AI comes to help you before the ennemy AI gets help. Play the AI with same respect as if it was old FB_Viks from VEF days, try to deny a shoot for as long as possible and pray you'll be helped (well Viks would shoot your helping mates too but that's another story).

If you're 100% sure you're on 1 vs 1 try the overshoot (rolling scissors is the best option to me), but there's more than 50% chance you'll get shot in the process.

My usual experience is an AI shooting me at what seems impossible deflection while i'm chasing another one, scoring at least a few hits and impairing greatly my manoeuverability (if not directly getting my pilot or engine), then it's just a question of how long till i die or friendly AI come to rescue my sorry ass.

Sure it's challenging and all, but is it really fun ? I liked the days when i saw tracers passing me and had a chance to defend without getting instantly killed most of the times (it happened but seldom). I think TD/HSFX is good for online and online training (QMB practice), but UP3/DBW/TFM is much better for campaigns.

I for once glad those days when the AI shot like a blind man with no limbs are all over... Back on 4.07, the AI shooting model is critically flawed, the only thing you need to beat a Rookie pilot is to fly level, he would almost always empty all his ammo aiming at a patch of cloud to your left...

I'm very happy to fight 4.12.2 AI in QMB.

Just not in campaign
