Cita, you forgot the ancient lore, the old prophecy. "The day, when night will fall and the ancient horror will fall from skies on the defenceless lands, when... blah blah blah, the hero in shining armor will come, blah blah blah... Ahh, interesting, P.S. is  here, "when he will find 30$ per month to pay for the game"

LOL!! The past week has been a total blast. Pinned back aginst the sea; we've had a very short commute; and with radar and cities down most of the time, the pucker factor has been very high.

For the first time since I started flyin this sim, I flew an F4u1c last night..

Outlying pickets reported a massive combined strike inbound from the pinhead (knit) front; and I did a fast walk-around on the bent wing wonder; slammed the throttle open; and immediatly burst into a fireball 100 yards up the runway when it ground looped.

Plucking my charred corpse from the wreckage; the BPO pointed me at another one, and I somewhat more timidly worked it into the air. I set course towards the last reported position of the pinhead formation and soon found 4 Lancs and a B17, escorted by 5 spits and a Typhie.

I dove on in.. and the hispanos turned the B17 into a flaming wreck before he could fire a shot. Next; I kicked the rudder pedals over and lined up the trail Lank... kchink-kachink-kachink... 2 down. Lined up another one... kachink kackink.. 3 down.. and since there was only one left... I dumped on him too.   End of strike.

That f4u1c is an evil airplane. Somebody better let the High Command at Pinhead Central know that buff formations can kiss their collective tulips good-bye when the bish get annoyed enuff to fly the Corsair. I may even bother to take the time to adjust the views... next time.

Was on yesterday when we were down to 35 and 36.  I began flying the F4u-1d exclusively.  The Rooks didn't seem all to interested in 36 and our dar was down, so I headed to 35 with a ton of alt.

I engaged a couple of planes, and only managed to lay 5 pings on a 109 before a 190 killed me.  I came up again and got a couple more before rtb'ing.

On the third sortie.. I came up at 36.  It seems a lone bomber took out all the acks and left a p-51 and spit there to vulch.  Unfortunately, I didn't see the p-51 until he made a mad dash at me.  Fortunately, the d model is a tough plane.  

I managed to turn the tables on the 51, but he augered before I got a firing solution. I came around on the inbound spit.  He was diving in with an e advantage and I didn't have much hope in my d model.  I still didn't stray from the HO aspect he offered up.  I got a wing... but so did he.  We both did a lazy survival circle and he managed to touch down.  I don't think he wanted me to get a kill for his capture so he waited until I straffed him to death.  Then I died trying to ditch.

I was vulched by a tiffy on the next sortie and was coming up again when someone said "don't defend 36.. let them have it! It will cause a reset!".  It seemed to be a sort of slap in the face to all bish on at the time.  For the rally cries began.

I evaded the tiffy the next launch and watched him run like a little girl.  As I was grabbing alt and keeping an eye on his departing con.. I noticed a low dot incoming.  It was a C47.  It didn't stand a chance.

As I climbed from the c47 kill, pilots began to spawn at 36.  About this time, 2 spits and a p51 showed up to try to vulch.  A couple of ack came back, pretty much thwarting the vulch session and 2 of us engaged them in earnest.

A friendly P51 was working on a spit's 6 when I managed a jump on a spit that was trying to clear his comrad.  That left a p51 and spit vs a P51 and F4u-1d.  I came around and managed to land some shots on the p51 taking off a wing.. he died a short time later.  That left me with the spit on my 6.  The friendly p51 came in and started spraying away.  He didn't do much damage, but he managed to scare the crap out of the spit pilot.  The spit banked hard and I followed suit.  I don't know that he ever saw me as I took off all of his control surfaces.

I logged off with the bish beginning to rally and after a 4 kill sortie in a d-model.  It was a kick.

Hehe.. nice story Cit. I couldn't fly very much the whole week since I didn't have time. But I've learned since being here for almost 1 year that the bish are a bunch who like a good fight. Brawlers. I've only changed sides once during the early beta to knights when there were only 3 of them online (remember those days?   ), and it was only for 1 or 2 sorties attempted against the rooks. Sounds like it would've been fun to fight this past week... I get more kills and get killed less when there are more friendlies as well as targets around. Oh well.. I'll be there more this coming week.. cya all up.

Nothing better than a nice target-rich environment for my 109.
