Instructor Xu’s performance is worthy of his title as an elite instructor of the Star Alliance Empire Air Force.
During the non-stop scissor maneuver, he maximized the aerodynamic performance of the fighter plane, fully utilizing the power of the airflow, allowing himself to dodge Wang Yu's attacks again and again while retaining almost complete energy.
To put it simply, during the steering process, if the amount of the lever changes, it will inevitably have an impact on the maneuverability of the fighter aircraft. Although this impact is not large, it cannot add up to a small amount. Two fighters, one can always
If it maintains a near-perfect flight path, while the other one is making adjustments with the rod from time to time, the latter will inevitably gradually fall into disadvantage.
This is Instructor Xu’s secret to making a comeback in the scissors fight.
Using his understanding of the aircraft's performance, he was able to continuously accumulate advantages in this continuous scissors - what is even more valuable is that while he was slowly accumulating advantages, he was still using various methods to hinder Wang Yu's offensive intentions.
Wang Yu's attacks during several encounters failed to produce any desired effect.
In the exercise system that is synchronously transmitted from the rear base, there is a dynamic tactical perspective of the two fighters.
From this perspective, Instructor Xu's fighter plane's flight trajectory is smooth, maintaining a posture that is almost like a human being able to fly, without any "stuck" feeling. The scissor line that constantly intersects with Wang Yu's flight trajectory,
As if it were outlined with a stroke, this trajectory even reminds people of an air show performance, and it even looks like it gives people a "beautiful" feeling.
It doesn't look like flying on a real aircraft at all. Instead, it looks like the set system values are reproduced on the simulator.
It is as if during the maneuver, the pilot is not overloaded at all and can concentrate on interacting with his fighter plane.
Looking back at Wang Yu, although he conserved energy as much as possible, compared with instructor Xu's flight route which had almost no redundant movements, Wang Yu's maneuvering route had many completely omitted processes.
These were some useless maneuvers that he was not aware of in his own consciousness - or in other words, he might have thought it was somewhat useful when he performed this maneuver, but when he thought about it the other way around, it was almost completely meaningless.
Therefore, in these encounters, Instructor Xu established his own advantage.
Although Wang Yu kept trying to regain the advantage under Irene's reminder, under the ingenious handling of Instructor Xu, he was completely unable to do so. It was even difficult for him to have an influence on Instructor Xu - now he released all the missiles to
The act of losing weight is like being smart and constraining yourself. If you had missiles, you might be able to do better at this time.
It can only be said that he still doesn’t know enough about Instructor Xu’s strength.
Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this instructor could perform ordinary horizontal scissor maneuvers in close combat, not to mention other more complex close combat movements.
It seems that I am really a fool and lack of life experience, so I should learn something.
Under the control of Instructor Xu, the fighter plane had more energy than Wang Yu, so after a certain round of intersection, he successfully completed the scissor maneuver, forcibly left his own flight path, and cut into Wang Yu's flight path. In other words, Instructor Xu successfully captured Wang Yu’s last six o’clock position.
The scene suddenly turned into my favorite scene in aerial combat movies, with one running in front and the other chasing behind.
The two fighter planes roared past one after another, flying several kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Wang Yu observed the timing, and at the moment when Instructor Xu wanted to get closer to him, he immediately retracted the oil and pulled the lever sideways to perform a defensive barrel roll, trying to let Instructor Xu, who had just cut into his flight path and was relatively fast, get ahead of him, but he did not expect that this
The instructor was also vigilant about pulling up. He controlled the distance between him and Wang Yu, and did not get too close. When Wang Yu tried to perform a defensive maneuver, he stopped the oil, then raised it up and then lowered it, still maintaining Wang Yu's distance.
Chasing position.
"Dear! Quick turn!"
"Making a sharp left turn!"
At a certain moment, Instructor Xu's fighter plane was preparing to turn to Wang Yu from the rear and take aim, and Eileen issued an alarm in time.
And Wang Yu did not hesitate to make a sharp turn. The fighter jet quickly escaped from Instructor Xu's locking range despite the high overload, so that the latter had to readjust its direction and prepare to re-aim and lock.
Due to Instructor Xu's position, it was difficult for Wang Yu to look back and see Instructor Xu's field of vision at this time.
Even Liu Lingxin, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't see the opponent in the blind spot, so the only one he could trust at this time was Irene. When Irene told him how to maneuver, he would take action immediately.
Instructor Xu has a larger locking window. Once locked, it is almost the same as sending a message at such a close distance. Therefore, Wang Yudu must act according to Aileen's report when Instructor Xu's locking range is about to point to him.
Only a certain range of maneuvers can avoid his shooting range.
But this will definitely not last long. Frequent evasions will greatly consume Wang Yu's energy. Even if Instructor Xu is deceived by Wang Yu's maneuvers once or twice, he will soon lock in again.
Wang Yu's operating stick was vibrating, indicating that the fighter's speed was rapidly decreasing as it continued to maneuver.
It dropped rapidly from the previous 400 knots to about 250 knots, and even if Wang Yu pushed full afterburner, he could not save the speed that was greatly lost in the continuous maneuvers in a short period of time.
Instructor Xu's fighter plane still followed his six o'clock direction firmly.
Wang Yu must make changes, otherwise he will lose this confrontation in less than half a minute.
"There's really nothing we can do now..."
Liu Lingxin was sitting in the back seat. The long-term overloading had brought her physical strength close to the limit of consumption. She gasped slightly: "But it's not shameful even if you lose. Sir, you are already very powerful, really."
Indeed, after such a long and back-and-forth battle, there is no shame in losing to the instructor.

But as a fighter pilot, Wang Yu's heart made him not want to admit defeat so easily.
With his brain running at high speed, Wang Yu tried to find a way to counterattack.
But so far, instructor Xu will see through strong turns and defensive barrel rolls and find ways to deal with them.
Wang Yu thought about it over and over, but finally came up with a more risky approach based on his intuition.
It is said to be relatively risky, but in fact it is a huge gamble.
Wang Yu came up with a plan, but the risks of this plan were too high.
However, in an emergency, he must now take a gamble to decide the outcome.
Success will instantly reverse the situation, but if it fails...
Wang Yu has never received systematic training from the Imperial Air Force.
His air combat method does not follow what is written in the textbook at all. In his eyes, the so-called textbook is just a "proposal", just like the recommended retail price. As for whether to accept the advice, it is up to him.
It depends on your thoughts.
"I have a method, and I plan to try it one last time..." Wang Yu took the time to say to Liu Lingxin, "If you don't succeed, you will be punished. Be prepared."
Liu Lingxin let out a long breath and swallowed back what she originally wanted to say.
"Okay, I will."
After receiving Liu Lingxin's answer, Wang Yu decisively took advantage of the time when instructor Xu had not caught up after the sharp turn, and began to accelerate in a shallow dive in a straight line, gaining a certain speed and lifting the fighter to a speed of about three hundred knots.
.
Instructor Xu turned simultaneously and followed naturally.
He decided to let this assessment end, so he hoped to complete the shootdown as soon as possible.
Therefore, he also followed Wang Yu into a shallow dive, using his higher speed to slightly close the distance between the two parties. In the cockpit of Instructor Xu, he could even clearly see the nozzle of Wang Yu's fighter. He prepared to use the machine gun to complete the "shootdown".
Based on Eileen's report, Wang Yu was sure that Instructor Xu had taken the bait.
The distance between the two sides will soon shorten to the point where missiles cannot be used at all.
Therefore, Wang Yu reached out and turned a lever on the side of the cockpit that read "Flight Control Limit".
Liu Lingxin noticed Wang Yu's movements - after all, the button was red and looked extremely dangerous.
"Sir...what are you going to do?!"
She asked subconsciously.
But Wang Yu no longer has any free time to answer her. Now instructor Xu is following his fighter closely, and the distance is already very close. He is just before starting to attack. For Wang Yu, this is "either do it or not"
The last moment of losing.
When Wang Yu thought it was the most appropriate moment - when instructor Xu was about to enter the attack, he started the maneuver.
"Three, two, one...start!"
He gritted his teeth, fully opened the speed brake, fully extended the flaps, stepped on the left rudder hard, and at the same time pulled the stick back with all his strength.
The angle of attack restriction is lifted!
In an instant, an overload exceeding 7G suddenly fell on Wang Yu.
But the F-15 fighter also raised its nose and rolled sideways because of Wang Yu's operation.
The original linear speed decreased at a high speed at this moment.
From an external perspective, the F-15E fighter seems to have performed an aerial spin and a backflip in the air.
Because it was too sudden, and Wang Yu's action caused his speed to fly the fighter plane to drop sharply, the proximity rate between the two sides instantly increased to an unimaginable level.
Since Wang Yu happened to control the timing of the maneuver just before Instructor Xu launched the attack, Instructor Xu had no time to make any response maneuvers, and the fighter plane he piloted suddenly jumped ahead.
This has exceeded the limit of human reaction speed.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Instructor Xu's fighter jet roared past Wang Yu's fighter jet that was doing a "somersault".
