Qatr and I was fighting bish in a tempest and a 38, i watermelon you not, i have film, there was 10 spit16s, a HOicane2C, a zeke and some other stuff that was a threat.
between 3 of us we downed them all for the loss of the other friendly with us.
The two of us left now, they all came back in a formation, and we did an exagerated vertical thatch all the way home down to 3 spits and a hurricane left as we got to our ack.
we fought in the ack and shot a spit each, and the hurricane augered, leaving just one spit16 who was not up for messing with our ack.
in the tempest i had 9 or 10 kills and Qatr in the 38 had the same or more, my ammo counters said 14 total rounds of 20mm remaining and Qatr had an oil leak from the hurricane.
we were both just turning to give half hearted chase to the spit but no sooner had we turned and....
CH200 - " Ackkatty ack ack ack runners"
i went out and got a direct canopy hit with my last cannon rounds, with no result unfortunately, and then baited for Qatr who shot the spit down just as it shredded my tempest and set it on fire.
Qatr lost his engine and ditched short of the field.
A runner is someone who dives on you, realises you arnt a free meal, then high tails it off to wait for a cherry pick, not a pair of fighters who shoot you all down twice then try to RTB.
