Best Dogfight in Long time
« Reply #15 on: December 11, 2007, 11:38:44 AM »
I had a couple of great 1v1 fights with Warkat.  I was in an FM2, he was in a P40.  I was amazed at his prowess in that P40.  I had the upper hand both times as I had alt and speed.  I didn’t however survive his Spit5….

A little while later I watched him dance in a Zero with equal aplomb.  

Warkat, great fights..

I also had a good time recently catching some very high B-24s that had a 262 flying cover. I was able to keep track of the 24s and keep the 262 from hitting me. I tracked the 24s all the way back to their base way up NW side all the while being hurried by the 262. I was able to get 2 24s before they reached their field ack. The 262 bugged out, probably out of ammo. I was low now and 2 spits picked me up, 1 spit 5 and 1 spit 8. I was able to down both of them and also give visual feedback to ground crews trying to take that base. Our guys captured the base and I was able to land on 8 minutes fuel.

Was an intense long flight with a little of everything thrown in for good measure.

every time I have a really slugout with someone (like AKCat tonight) it gets spoiled..

for example tonight after i FINALLY managed to get cat after a protracted fight in which I sustained an oil leak on the final pass.... I was followed for about 5 min back to base, and vulched by an A8 upon landing.  of course the jerk flew right past several other guys who were more than eager to fight, but why do that when you can plug a smoking yak on the runway:aok

I had a high altitude fight with TwentFo a few weeks back that was pretty intense.  I was in a spitVIII and he in a Dora.  It wen't on for at least 10 minutes until I ran out of gas and dove for home.  One of the best 1 on 1 fights I had in a while.

Funny thing is , those REALLY good ,long ,one-on-one dogfights seem to come out of nowhere , when you least expect it.

Wings of Terror and 31st had a nice go at it last night, 31st started off cherry picking in p51's vs our 110s, so naturally Shawk gives us the green light to "go light with fuel only" and suprisingly, pushed 31st back over their field and took it.

Had to say it was quite fun hearing Traz talk trash on 200 about picking us then cries 10 minutes later when we come back in fighters.

Im pretty humble I do enjoy a good fight, but I do fight fire with fire. You want to talk trash, do it on even grounds, not in a p51 already at 15k vs 110s heavy taking off.

IMO It was still a blast though, we worked over bishops in the south for quite some time last night, even landed 15 kills in osti camping a bish runway LOL sorry about that but it was just funny all the P51's that took off with rockets shooting at me. CLASSIC
