Heh was fun.
I was flying for the Allieds, tue to unequal numbers. A Spit IX. So, me, Sox and a third Spit took off on our own and engaged a huge number of enemies. I amanged to jump one c205, 1 ping, his engine gone. Hit one more in a HO; 2 Hisps hit on wing, wing gone. Third 205 got two hits on tail with Hisps, tail gone. Then a fourth chased me, I reversed went for the HO and boom, hit him with two or three cannon rounds. Down he went.
RTB, refuel, field heavily capped. Badly outnumbered, but manae to get behind and shoot down an enemy 109. The Camo shoots out my engine, I land, or try to. Bounce once, then again and then explode for no apparent reason.
But that Spit, man, forgiving aircraft. great low speed handling, super cannons. The Hispanos had the same effect the German 30mm has; 1 or 2 pings, wing gone. Only you only have to pull ridiculously little lead and it is much much faster.
Now I know I shouldn't feel bad if a Hisp/.50 plane shoots me outta the sky. The LW is outclassed when it comes to armament and maneuverability.
