Knight Hawks Engage Enemy Swallows
« on: October 09, 2000, 04:38:00 AM »
Yesterday was fun. Great scenario, and the mission before that - true class   .

Me, Kirin and NathBDP were patrolling the south east border. A P-47 had just made a beautiful bounce, killing the engine of mose's aircraft, and we'd all ditched our tanks. With no enemy in sight, we decided to head deeper into indian territory, seeing a huge bar indicating a massive buildup at a2.

We arrived, somewhat light on fuel and at around 25k. Lower than us, at around 18-20k we saw the buildup; very organised. ( or so c205's in trailing formation followed by 4 or so 190's, in tight formation. Nath went in, I took a look over my wing and saw this:

   

Aaah, poor swallows, and here we are, three hungry hawks.

Nath quickly scored a kill and smoked the engine of another c205, but then found himself in trouble:

   

I dived twice to get the now upset sparrows off him, but apparently he suffered a warp and died.

Hungry for fame, I shot down the c205 who'd gotten him.

Kirin scored one or two kills; at this time, the fight was low and the enemy formation scattered all over the place. Fuel was nearing an absolute minimum, so we rtb'd and landed safely.

Sorry Busc; you had a great looking strike going there, but we were hungry   .
