That's nothing.. I happend upon a P47N (which is a damn decent fighter, lemme tell ya!) at 10k over a field with no less than 20 other enemies (and no friendles) porking the field. He automatically takes off away from me (towards his closes base, inside the sector) when I'm only 3.5k away. I figure he's the only one at my alt so I give him a chase... Poor fool lets me get to 1k before diving like mad for the deck.... But he didn't know that a Ta152 can dive pretty well too. So I'm closing, and closing... and he must have been screaming like folks accuse Shane over country because all of a sudden he turns and tries to evade me (I get some shots on target but damned if nothing fell off him!!), and what do you know? No less than 3 of his teammates have been pulled away from porking a horde-swamped base and come in at 5k (us being on the deck). And only when he has 2 other enemy diving in on me literally inside 1k does he turn around and try to HO me (fails, I was about to blast him but a 110C got a lucky hit and ripped my wing off).
So no salute for that loser. Were I prone to, I'd have given him a " MjrTom", but that's beneath me.
