Flew 1 fighter sortie last night and managed 7 assists. That has to be a personal best for me. Anyone else ever been bitten harder by the assist bug? Ouch!

I've had some craptastic vulches in a 109g2 (1x20mm) that probably got into the 7 assist range.

Frustrating as hell.

Steve should fly the 109f4 in the main..

Good luck keeping 4 cannon dweebery off your falling, flaming, tailess carcass that you just made 4 passes at to finally chop his tail off......

109 = assist master unless you sport gondolas or the 30.

1 vs 1 thats a whole another story with the 109..

I broke down last tour and flew the butcher A8, It never felt so good to be bad...

Fight fire with fire..

Had 5 in a 262 last tour

Now thats bad luck.

Vulching with a 109 is a no go here. Biggest waste of ammo in the game.

Ahh, I like flying the 202 just cause it's so much fun to fly. But getting kills? Better not have anyone else around, cause it takes a while for the 202 to finish 'em off. I've been in that assist range before with it.

I'll co-sign that! I had a 202 on my F4F's arse at about 250 out and he was hitting me all over. I got away with minor damage and managed to land my kills over a sector away.

WTG Tarmac.

Geez, Howitzer.. it would be tough to get 5 assists in a 262 on purpose. LOL

Having a craptastic run of assists is somehow an accomplishment? Heh, you must be one of those "the glass is 1/32 full" guys.

lol steve. Not to be a 1ups-man, but i distinctly remember having a flight with 6 consecutive assists, for a total of 3 kills 8 assists, and it wasnt even vulching.

Yeah, with a 202, it can't just spray n pray. You gotta get em turning and pick nme to pieces on things like wingtips

Consider all those assists like a brave counting coup. Just showing you were there and coulda terminated them.
