I don't fly in the MA much these days, thanks to work, school and family. But I've made a bit of an effort to get in there a bit more this month.
With all the posts on how horrible the MA is, I haven't really be noticing it much. I think it's because I haven't been around the past many months.
But over the past few weeks I've poked my head in, and things seem fairly the same as they've ever been. Some folks attempt to HO, some don't. Blah Blah Blah.
So anyhow, I up from a rear base, and head to the front in a Yak-9T. I grab to about 11k, then enter a gentle dive to build up some steam. As I approach, I see a FW-190 making a high speed pass, so I figure I'll see if he figures he's too fast to be caught, and I line up on him. As he breaks out of the furball and goes nose up, I'm right on his 6, firing a couple of 3 round bursts.
The 190 figures out that he's not going to rope me, or escape, so he puts in a slow spiral, and tries to force the overshoot. I'm way to slow to make any escape (and we're still going up!) So I try to take him out as I pass by. No dice, he gets his overshoot. But now we're going a bit too slow for him to get a firing solution. So we both stall and start to drop. As I recover, he's still right on my bellybutton and starts blasing away.
I dive out in a zero G dive to get what speed I can, come out at tree top level, and enter a barrell roll with some on and off rudder. Now it was my turn to get the overshoot. But he wasn't dicking around, he blew by and tried to get some distance... I thought, heh he is a runner after all! and started to give chase. Then I noticed that we were going up top again... I just need another second.... oh ****, I just got roped. **** it. I'm dead.
As it turns out, he was stalling out just above me, and again was unable to bring his guns down. Once again he used his greater speed and acceleration and tried to rinse and repeat (while engaging another plane this time... rather agressive
). This time though, I took a shot at about D350 and nailed him with the Hammergun.
It was aka, flying an A-8. It was a lot of fun.
I was down to 1/2 ammo, but was looking to call it a night so I started to head back to base. I got what speed I could, and egressed. Checked 6. Clear. Tuned 200 to raise aka. Made fun of Morpheous, and all was well. Then all of a sudden Bullz gave me a 30mm ennema in a 262 lol. Never saw him coming. That's what I get for becoming content.
Anyhow, I don't think I've had any "bad" fights this month, and looking at my stats, I've encountered a surprisingly diverse assortment of Aircraft.
