G'day mate. How's things?
Nothing new to report, same old same old here. Are you not playing for a while?
Got a couple screenies today...I took the 152 out for a spin this morning. She needs a face lift and and tummy tuck for sure (cockpit and FM) but it's still fun, even if you do have to be a bit ginger with it.
The ultimate buff slayer:
And this was the least expected result in this fight.
I merge with this P 47N at 25k with a 3k height disadvantage and relatively low speed, given that I had just climbed to that altitude to meet said Jug.
Jug reverses and gains from my low 6.... I take it up... take some hits from 800 and 600 out... but then I start extendeding rapidly in an anti-clickwise spiral climb.... get out to 1.0k and I start to get around behind the Jug... so I make a pass... He evades and I go back up (nearing 30k at this point). He decides to dive and I roll and follow.... which brings us to this point...
940 Km per hour dive.... controls locked up with extreme buffet (I didn't realise I'd picked up so much speed so enormously quickly). It took me 22 thousand feet to pull out of the dive safely (2.8k when I leveled out).
Great fun!
