The thread title said how to get someone off your 6, that's behind you. I would recommend other tactics for head on or flank maneuvers

if they are coming at you from a dive where you can use their speed against them....or they are extrememly close to your tail...the old chop the gas and drop flaps ( sim ) or even your gear does work. done right, they will over shoot you. you may have to use a couple maneuvers to "set it up"....and you are pretty much a goner anyways...but at times they will skoot right past you and now they are in your sites. has gotten me more than a few kills.

I've never ha trouble outurning a hurri with a spit so taking damage isn't the problem...
Yeah stalling the tenacious prick behind u for someone else in a teambattle makes sense but in a dogfight... Odds are ur just giving the third guy an easy double kill...
If the hurri chases u along just go into a steap dive n jink around so his laserbeams wnt clip u n when ur satisfied with ur range, flip around n smash him head on with ur mighty cannons.
Bobby, trying to force an overshoots with an Ace behind u is jst dumb cos even if he does overshoot; he would of fucked up ur plane so bad Ull just crash let alone train ur guns on him...
But that said some of the time it's just persistence like u said; I'm usually buzzing around with the whole f'ing enemy team chasin me around n to that, there ain't a whole lot u can do but prey to god ur wingmen come help... Quickly.
But still as long as I see the guy behind me, he ain't getting a kill...

Hit the brakes he'll fly right by lol joking

[bobbysocks]

that's what they did in top gun...right? actually it was dump the gas, slap the flaps, nose up slightly ... then reverse it and FIRE...FAST

[mavrickandgoose]

Yeah since am mavrickandgoose I figured I would throw in the top gun reference lol. I'm bringing the mig closer your gonna do WHAT! I'll hit the brakes he'll fly right by-mavrick top gun lol

If you haven't had BOP that long then you are going to get killed by the more experienced players irrespective of what you fly. Even if you outurn your opponent there are others waiting to pounce and not necessarily on your six either. No substitute for flying regularly so enjoy and, in realistic/Arcade, you have an advertising/target hoarding slapped over your ac so be prepared to get killed more frequently than in SIM!

lol I try that as a last resort. Hardly ever works. If you do manage to survive the lasers, you usually end up with the bandit ramming you up the arse for the kill.
