i dont know much about planes but are you going to put the VIFFING thing that harriers can do.. i mean when they "jump" up and a following plane goes straight past you then you can blam him. or is that jsut sea harriers.. im not a plane fan

you mean VTOL?

i have no idea what you are on about and im a pretty big fan of planes......

thats what i thought he ment by "jump", but then he stated talking about other planes and stuff.....

i mean VIFFing, Vectoring in Forward Flight.

Just done a tiny little bit of research on it and its basicly just using the VTOL in mid fligth to have more control of the planes direction. This cant realyl be used with BF2 VTOL system as it only lets you put the VTOL strait down, or strait forward and not both.

yeah.. if a plane is chasing you down the pilot engages the VTOL and he flies straight up and slows down letting the enemy plane go straight ahead where you can follow him and shoot him..

i dunno it worked in the falklands

That would also be a combined effot with the wind brakes to make him shoot past, or the speed drop would be way to slow to get the pilot to overshoot by alot.

Topgun, anyone?

He means turn the nosles wile in flight.
It was used in the Falklands to out-manouver the enemy fighters to great effect.

The problem with viffing is that you lose a lot of airspeed when you do it, so it's only a last ditch effort when you've already bled off a lot of speed and don't have much altitude to get it back with.
In the air, speed is life.

why does this remind me of that episode of CSI with the furries?

yiffing was it?

lmfao...
