great, for a flight sim anyhow

Re the pilot bailing, yes once he went into the D (arch) position he should have stabilized, but then i thought of the current model we have. and I realised it is a major improvment in a small part of the game, so am completely happy with it. These things can be improved as the game matures over time.

Why wasn't the defiant firing back??? I hope this isn't a sign of bad AI!

BTW, noone uses Wallpapers anymore, it's all videos! Can we have a downloadable looped video clip .. please!

There are other possibilities beyond "bad AI," you know. For example, gunner could already be WIA/KIA, monitoring something else, OR just plain shell-shocked with eyes as big as saucers.

At 0.55 you can clearly see the 109 taking hits from the 4 x .303 machine guns from the Defiant, he's pulling a quite tight turn as well, that's what makes me think it's definitely the Defiant

On a completely unrelated note to the current discussion, I'm just gonna say that I really appreciated the music over both of these videos, especially 0:44 onward on Air Battle, although the music for Air Battle really was more the sort of music you'd expect on a longer video watching a lot of aircraft form up before a scrap. Big panning shots of large formations and that sort of thing.
