I felt the need ..
..the need ..to go SLOW
.. and .. er .. way HIGH..
..for a long time!
No .. even SLOWER ..
..I had my dive flaps DOWN for most of the way!
I nosed over on target, cut throttle,
..made sure my dive flaps were *down*
..then started lookin around durin the descent as hogs were called in
..sure enough ..two were comin my way
.. checked airspeed (I was pure vertical atm, straight down)
..180 knots and not accelerating much at all
.. 'cool' I thought
..check six, one hog is 400 back and just *blows* by guns blastin as I barrel roll a bit
..tracers whip by my cockpit all around me and I see a hole pop up in left wing
.. second one I started evading a little further out, got almost leveled out when he went just *screamin* by,
and now we're down just above the trees.
..I line up on a big hangar, pickle two eggs off, pull up and roll and pull some more lookin for the hogs cause I know they gotta be down here somewhere ..
..and hit the space bar (thinkin for some reason that retracts the dive brakes, then hit it again just to make sure ..
..and bail the heck OUT of my plane right over the hangar I was attempting to bomb!
ROFL!! I think the eggs were a bit short, but at that point I lost it .. I was rollin. I was laffin so hard my wife came in to see what was goin on.
You can't *buy* entertainment like that!
I sure did my bit for the IJN today!!
Gimme another Val, I wanna do that again!
I dare ya
