Best one I had I was in an FM2 on the deck just N E of the city at A1 on the center island in the small island map with bogies all over me like a wet blanket, Spits Nikis La7's and just about everythiung else
I managed to dodge em all for at least a full 5 min Which is a freaking long time with that many people on ya
Got 8 kills 3 of em forced augers into a cute little hill there I kept managing to just barely avoid before someone finally got me.
LOL I felt like a bullfighter in a ring with 20 bulls chargine me all at the same time.
When it was over my heart was pounding. my hands were sweaty and my forearm puffed up like I just got done spending a day driving nails into granite.
Did some of my best flying ever in that fight I just wish I had filmed it.
Or better yet. wish I could repeat that performance LOL

SLO,

The CT scenario limited my country to LUFTIRON. So I didn't have ACCESS to anything more agile. 109F4 is the closest I could get to Spit V maneuverability.

You dance wid whut's available.

Doesn't matter the plane, but it always goes like this:

Low con flying on autoclimb. I dive low six and trim out.
Does he see me? Not yet as I approach d1000, d900.
Ok, they usually start to move about now d800, d700.
Maybe I'll get lucky. Should I fire now at d600 he's still
not moving. My heartbeat quickens and I can feel sweat
on my palm as I manuever under his six. d500 and not
a move d400 - up slowly d300 carefully line up on the fuse.
My heart races madly, one move and the cat's outta the bag.
d200 and all my cannons roar.

Been flying for years and this STILL gets me.

63-41 in 109f4's vs spit5's (CT this month) and i always carry gondies. and turn with the spit5's. a lot of those 109 deaths (13) came at levi's spit5 hands tho' and some were pretty close calls.

he's lucky, what can i say?

not to knock nomak's considerable skill, but i'd put a few others ahead of him in the 1 v 1 category over the past year or so.

Was checking out the Ah2 Spit14 awhile back. Dove in on 4-5 red guys figuring at least I'd get to see some of the new damage effects as they tear me apart. I was saved by a combination of my sheer dweebness and the new/unfamiliar flight models and gunnery. Ended up landing 5 kills, but I know I didn't deserve more than 1.

It will be hard to beat last night.
Rooks had a CV parked off 22 in Beta arena and Knights were flying down south for the fun. Grabbed a SpitV and banked & yanked for a couple of hours straight. Great six calls coming out from bish and a high level of skill on all sides gave me the best fight I've had since coming back to AH.
to all involved.
Pic sums it up really.

Noticed a 190 A8/F8 (not sure which) down below myself whilst in a Spit IX, I was maybe 2 k above him, dropped down nicely, was on his long six and getting closer, all of a sudden he rolled away above me and as I was climbing to him he changed direction and nearly ended upon my six, now I was impressed as I was expecting a very easy kill in a Spit versus a 190 and me with more E, eventually another rook (I was rook too) joined in and was promptly shot down, eventually I managed the kill despite the best 190 driving I have ever seen.

5 Minutes later whilst heading home I notice another 190 of the same type, I was certain it was the same driver, I turned towards him and we merged head on and then danced a while, by the moves I now knew it was the same driver, same result though but I was staggered by the quality of the moves having seen nothing that good before.

On common channel I saluted the driver with praise, he didn't reply though, maybe lazerus was too busy to reply,

I've been in a slump lately. The only problem with an AH slump is that you can't sit on the bench and collect millions until your contract runs out.

I've had new CH pedals, throttle and stick for 5 weeks now but I'm still making some stupid mistakes in the heat of battle. For example, I'd push a button to talk to a squaddie and 'kaplunk' there goes my ordinance. I've put so many holes in mountains that I may start a strip mining business in AH. I switched the buttons around then for a while I was saddling up behind bogies and never getting any kills because I'd be pushing the talk button instead of the secondary weapon button.

Or, the 'Mother-of-all-Mistakes,' I'll be looking out the rear using my hat on the throttle to keep my eye on a bogey as I move vertical and then "DARN IT!" - I accidently hit the auto-level button and get blown out of the sky before I can recover.

I feel like such a complete beginner again that I want to type into the text buffer: "How do I takeoff?" I've flying Spits a little lately to try to get some maneuvering feel back and something very strange happened today. Usually it's been takeoff, engage, die ad nauseum but today I went 3 v1 against a Yak, N1K and Spit V and survived. Not only did I survive, but I triumphed against relentless P-51's Spits and 190's. I did have one vulch, but for the first time, I landed 8 kills in one sortie without rearming.

That's Fester, or Morpheus, or Shane, or Steve kind of stuff. The only thing that could have made it better would have been someone calling me a cheater... I immediately logged off and walked to the store to buy an ice cream cone.
