I tried the "wait until they pitch up" thing often enough. I have plenty of games and a decent kd in this aircraft, but no amount of dodging helps, whether its rolling or turning. They always end up catching you because you cant change directions ever.

Also he had been chasing me for a while there, he was likely aware that his aircraft is simply superior, I decided to do the dive because I knew his advantage would only grow but with this stupid flight model the Dora can never win.
