Favourite at the moment was long ago.
After a long period flyign Doras, i jumped back in the 109 and was jsut starting the get used to it again. I'd never used the 30mm version though, so it was a learning curve.
I took off and engaged a flight of B 24s with a P-38 escort.
After a few passes the 38 tried to out-climb me in my 109 K4, so I closed in got a few 30mm rounds into his wing/engine joint and took him down. #1
I then turned for the 24s which were up above 22k and started to climb the extra 10k i needed.
This was the first time I took the time to set up a proper bomber attack.
After a couple of long-range pings from the 24s, I quickly realised that this guy was a good gunner and set up my attack accordingly.
I dropped in and slashed away at the first bomber, taking his wing off on the second pass. #2
A comrade climbed up and tried to dead-six the 24s, resulting in a swift death.
Long story short, I slashed in with a nice wing-root shot on the second bomber, wing off #3.... I then came back in on the last bomber and set it on fire # 4
This was really rewarding because I took the time to really set up my attack and executed it so well that an exceptional gunner only got a couple of little pings and a scratch on my canopy.
After this I realised that I was at 26k with 2 mins of fuel and 40 miles away from the nearest base.
With some careful use of shallow, engine-off, diving and some E6B watching I made it back to base, unscathed with a nice landing.
Felt like a real defence mission of sorts.
