Yes, I attacked the AKs with my tail at every turn. But then I'm not the best fighter pilot by far. The ones in my squad that are had a rough time with y'all and the 65th, if that's any concilation. You had the alt. We wound up about even money fighter to fighter AFAIK. Don't know about the rest of the arena though.
Our objective was to pull you away from the bomber and take that alt from you (hard to get a second chance on Bostons in an A6M2). We did and consider it a postumis success. But it was far from fun.

U met up with flight a which was the group I was in.  U out numbered us and got us down.  I had 4 f4f's on me but we were fighting for 5 mins,lol.  I had a few pop shots on them but they eventually got me.  Wxman was about 4k from me with the same situation.   to those I was fighting with.  I know I put up a good fight, hehehehe.

Nah Dogg, Hack (RSLQK186) was with my group, we got bounced by the 65th who had at least 7k alt on us and numbers. That is what he was refering to. I didn't meet up with the AK's this time around =) that was the part of the squad that didn't get cut off.

Looked at the logs closer. My mistake. It just looked like an AK hord against our small group that had not quite caught up with the bombers. But it was all 65th.

The rest of the escorts that were with the bombers had help that I was not aware of by the orders I was given. I only knew what my part was. Get some Zekes to chase me and not the buffs. I did that well. Just didn't know what to do with them after that.LOL

That usually sounds like the orders they give me.... I can get thier attention, but after that I am usually fubar!

Hacksaw you guys accounted for yourselves admirably. We were saying the same thing sitting in the tower about the same time you were. Most of us never saw the guy who popped us.

Initially I tried to stay high thinking it was a trap but more and more of you guys showed up below us so I rolled over and dove in trying to get into the fight but it was too late. I'd loose 3k in a compressing dive and pull out only to see the fight was now another 3k below me. I think it was Ridge off by himself in trouble so I clawed my way down to him only to see him get popped as I saddled up on his pursuer.  I rolled around to keep following your guy and never saw the one that sent me back to the tower with one ping. It was very frustrating.

S!

That was the first enjoyable fso for me in a long time. I actually got a couple kills and my framerates have been ok since latest patches.
