Bullethead's pages covered energy fighting far more and better. Most all of the same material can be found in Shaw's book but in Shaw the pieces are more spread out and a harder read. Reading Shaw is a bit like chewing a brick, it takes longer to swallow and longer still to digest.

Bullethead outlined such energy tactics as "Rope-a-Dope" and "Dancing on his head".

If you ever find his stuff stick up a link, I'll give it a read. I know what you mean about Shaw, if I can't sleep I'll read a few pages, works every time. I wonder if learning stuff by rote is much help sometimes in the heat of the moment, one thing in this game that's widly historically inaccurate is not flying with at least a wingman and having to deal with an organised opposition of at least a pair. Rope a dope is fine 1v1 but 1v2?

No just lucky
I just happen to log on to this forum because I am looking into getting COD. I came across this discussion and remembered that article from my warbird days. Just did a search for "bullethead energy tactics" and it was the first in the Google list.

I had forgotten how great an article that was. Much better than Shaws book (not that it was bad, just long) that I have buried somewhere in the garage.
