I'm so glad I came back to AH.
Last night was terrific!
My wingman and I flew an interdiction raid to A12 (I think) to knock out their barracks as we were swamped at our nearby bases. This was against the Bish who had about 190 to 150 player advantage.
We flew our Typhoons at 10K and were unopposed to target. Once over the enemy base, we fired our rockets but were quickly jumped by 2 P-47s!
The dogfight ensued and we shot down one enemy before my wingman was hit.
AS 2 more enemy planes upped, I dedided it was time to get out of dodge, but my only escape was north, into enemy territory. Now, I had a P47 close on my tail with no room to turn and fight, on the deck and closing.
I decided to do something suicidal and try and fly him through the trees. I picked out a small opening in the tree line and dove through it, dodging the jugs bullets all the way. He was 400 yards off me now and starting to score hits.
I made 2 hard turns in my makeshift trench, all the while humming the Star Wars theme. Apparently, the jug made a mistake as I saw him plow into a tree line with a blast.
My fuel leaking, I limped home with 5 mins of fuel remaining.
Nights like that are what Aces High is all about.
