Opening a Fight
Up to this point, I have discussed fights that are already in progress. I have now come to the point in this article where I address initiating a fight. There are basically three ways a fight can begin in an EAW one-versus-one.
- Coaltitude Merge
- You start high
- You start low
Coaltitude Merge
A coaltitude merge is generally a rare situation which occurs in one of a few ways.
- You leave the multi-player setup screen to fly.
- You collided with your opponent on the last fight.
- You both augered on the last fight.
- After winning the previous engagement, your plane was too heavily damaged to contemplate another fight in it. So, you bailed out.
There about five ways to open such a fight.
- Straight in with blazing guns
- Seize angles advantage
- Barrel roll
- Nose under and shoot
- Blow through and climb
