Not related to the video, but how do you deal with F8F speed bleed? Im having decent games in the bearcat, i asked this out of curiosity so i would know what to do when i have a dogfight with a half decent player
you have to avoid turn fighting at most situations because you'll run out of speed as you say. Linear energy retention is fabulous, it just doesn't have maneuvering retention. This said if someone starts boom and zooming you, you shall not go up or turn sideways, but rather split S diagonally as soon as you see them coming and then go for the shot and keep flying straight if you miss. This way you will keep gaining speed til you have the energy to crank up the angle and kill the enemy once both of your energy states are similar.
