That was fun :)

There I was at 35,000 feet wondering if I was ever going to see a 109 up close like, when all of a sudden the sky filled with contacts in every direction...  109's!  190's! And 262's thrown in, just to make it a fair fight.   Through skill, daring and just plane (get it) luck, my trusty Pony and I managed to get 50+ 190's surrounded at 30,000 feet.  To say that it was "intense" is an understatement.  I haven't had that much fun in a frame in a long while.  Keep up the great work!  I you all!

WTG Axis! We had some fun. I just wish I would have remembered to turn off the ground vis sooner so I could see the dots that were P51's coming up on my poor little 109G! :(  My squaddie called em out, but I was like looking back all over and didn't see Skygnome! :furious Sir!

I think a bomber set my oil leaking, not a fighter. I got HOed a couple times after I lost oil, as I was "sorta" heading home, but it wasn't a p51 that started me leaking, from memory.

Granted Krusty, but it wasn't just one ping that took your oil then was it? Those hits from me showed 2 in you left engine (yes, I was HOing =) always do with 262's) already.

Not meaning to sound confrontational or obtuse at all, but how many bullets into your engine do you expect to take before it started venting vital fluids?

It's like pilot wounds. I often hear "You PW'd me with one ping!", I'm sat behind my computer thinking "How many bullets does he expect to bounce off of his pilot before they start hurting?"

TinmanX,

I would hazard a guess that most would answer "ALL" :D
