Discussion Of Boom And Zoom Tactics
by Andy Bush
Introduction
We're proud to provide a new
series for the virtual dogfighter in all of us. SimHQ.com has
asked each of the major online flight simulation companies to provide
one of their own to join their peers and look at common air combat
situations that players find themselves in. We've asked our own
resident fighter jocks, Andy Bush and Vince Putze, to give their
tactical opinions as well.
Each community is given the same
situation, as well as the same deadline, and edits are made for grammar
only.
Lesson One (October
22/01): Defending Against The Boom and Zoom
You are presented with the
following situation: a typical "angles" fighter, such as
a Spitfire, is bounced by a typical "energy" fighter, such as
the P-38. The attacker has the altitude advantage and is using a
boom and zoom attack on you. What should you do?
