Waaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaa-aaaay back in the early days of Ah1 I upped a B26 and headed for a nearby target, to see what I could bomb with a medium bomber. No formations back then, remember? Those were the days. Anyways I'm just under 10k (8? Maybe?) and I'm lining up and in my bombsite I see a B17 either taking off or just flying past his field on the deck. I line up for a few targets, and drop all my bombs, roll inverted, pull up and my GOD I was hauling ass!!! That B26 was creaking and moaning, I was on zero throttle but it was still accelerating wildly. I somehow managed to line up perfectly so that the b17 and my b26 were going in opposite directions when we met, so my split S worked well. I was screaming in on the target's tail at about 450-500mph and I was shocked as heck that I was able to do it. I came in screaming fast shot as much as I could from 500d on down, kept peppering til I was about to ram him and then pulled away sharply (he was firing back through half my attack). He nailed one of my engines, I smoked him so bad he plowed into the earth not long after, but the kicker is that in that split S I lost flaps, an aileron, an elevator, and a couple other small things from over-speeding.
LOL Wished to heck I had that on film. Once in a lifetime opportunity!
I think I landed it, too!!!
EDIT: I think he was already up because by the time I got to him closure rate was slowing down (he was already going pretty fast).
