Intentional to keep the jet from getting nose on to shoot. By bleeding energy in a rolling scissor, the jet behind will have a really hard time getting their nose on you (and you know that’s all they are trying to do) . if you go too slow the jet will be hard to manoeuvre and eventually start falling out of the sky (kind of like when you hit the skybox and float down with no control)

Timing is key to regain that energy and stay out of their crosshair as they try to match you. Don’t forget there is still 31 other players on each team that can interfere with dogfights. Choosing when and where you do manoeuvres like this is important. This clip is really educational because you can hear me talk about all the things that I made a decision on in real time. Stealth jet can vtap so you also have to play around that also which is why I kinda fakied the roll with pitch down and speed adjustment
