two moods..or modes
« on: February 27, 2005, 07:16:54 AM »
Does anyone start flying lazy after scoring alot of kills? I noticed myself (after getiing maybe 10 or 15 kills) getting complacent against the enemy while flying, just kind of expecting them to be the average pilot. Wadke taught me a lesson last week after i did a half assed lag roll that usually works.

immediately expected the usual suicide p47 pork dweeb, so rolled over inverted, pulled throttle back and pulled down behind him...

Did it last week.  I had been through a string of fairly easy kills and was hunting in my F4U ........... saw a P38 co-alt and at first thought I was sneaking up behind him.  Then I saw he was heading toward me.  I had plenty of speed, expected one or maybe 2 verticals and then he'd start turning and I'd end up above him.  AKAK ruined my day lol.  Couldnt help looking like anything but a dweeb and it was way too late to do anything but run (and I'm too dumb to do that usually).
