I recomend you watch "art of the kill" much like this but in more detail and longer. Was a program done by a fighter pilot doing a talk.

[Cab0cl0]

Nice. Aren't there a book by the same name?

[Appclypse]

Quite possibly, i'm not entirely sure but it is a good documentary, about an hour long, i believe it came as a bonus CD for Falcon 4 but i might be mistaken though

[Cab0cl0]

I'm actually watching it right now. Lot's of references on Falcon 3.

Wow, it's excellent. I can't believe in all those years in my carrer as a chair pilot I'v never came across this.

Thanks for the tip. Really.

Or, alternatively, fire a beyond visual range missile and return to base for smores.

[Cab0cl0]

Lol, agreed.

Not everything is accurate in this video, but most of it is. Its a great ressource for beginners in flight sims in general. GJ

@shutup735 yeah yer right i re read that sentance and figured out what it meant in that case by rake it meant to rake the enemy with concentrated fire. proving once again i really need to pay attention.

[shutup735]

@Kglover485 The Rake is a Wrestling move. nothing to do with planes.

[shutup735]

@Kglover485 Hmmmm the Rake, Let me check google :/

[Kglover485]

@shutup735 hey um i'm trying to find out something do you know what rake means in air combat? i'm planning on using an attack strategy from a comic book for when i play flight combat video games and i don't really know what the term rake means if you can tell me that'd be great.

[shutup735]

I'm going to try some of this in lockon flaming cliffs 2 :D
