DCS World: Descending rolling Scissors: Mig-29a ~ F-18c

This one is in 3rd person pilot perspective: Getting the Ai into a vertical descending rolling scissors ... half rate fight half radius fight with the hard deck coming up fast. A falling leaf maneuver here - would have been perfect for the occasion, or maybe a harrier to VIFF.
This is a series of the same maneuver done over two flights - A Mig-29a, an Su-33 with the F-18c as adversary. Did not have wingman to test fly with so an Ace Ai had to suffice. Enjoy the show, notice what you can.

In this match up the Mig had a a little bit of altitude advantage, about equal radius & rate, but near the end I angled for a better rate as I had a bit of altitude over it . The Ai calculated the hard deck and being out turned; chose to do a wing-over - not the best call but the idea of the video was to show the vertical rolling scissors in such close quarters.
