Not me, of course.... He is good, always keeping the speed up. And he can shoot.

Both good videos, in the second one spectacular hammerhead. Use the track for the second video, much better to see his opponents.

Ya, Mr.X is a bit famous over there. Flies tactically, and an excellent shot!

At 15:00, its a stall turn at the top of a vertical climb. Basically, you go straight up, bleeding all your airspeed and energy, and right before you lose all forward momentum, kick the rudder hard one way. The plane will rotate it's nose back down with almost no forward(upward) movement. It's like hanging in space for a split second, then coming back down full bore.

Scary move to use in a fight, as you are motionless, energy-less and a very easy target if someone has you in their sights. But... if done right (like in the video), you have someone behind you trying to get you, and they run out of speed/energy first, it's a great way to quickly turn the tables on the would-be attacker.

Another way of putting it, is that you exchange all your kinetic energy for potential energy, and then convert it back to kinetic energy again.

Also have to cut throttle before kicking rudder. Otherwise you will be put on your back by engine torque. IRL some adjust prop pitch for the same purpose.

This is the 1st time I see hummerhead used in a combat situation since Warbirds back in 2001. In Il-2 it was more difficult not to be shot down in the top position.

Excellent moves and a deadly shot.

Have to mention too, that the sea looks as realistic as I've ever seen in a game.
Water's come a long way from IL2's water=1 or 2 or 3...
