A while back I was patrolling in my 1A not far from an enemy base, sitting in dar seeing what came up to fight.
The same guy in an La-7 upped about 3-4 times. We square off (I'm far enough out we're roughly co-alt, about 5-6k by the time he closes in) and I quickly shoot him down each time.
I'm running low on gas so start a shallow climb-out and turn for home. I see a red bar form on dar, and watch a dot slowly close in on me...
...and the icon appears as an La-7.
I hold my course and let him close to within 1500 yards, by which time we're at the edge of my dar circle about 1.5-2 sectors or so from where he lifted. I power on full, punch WEP, drop flaps, roll and kick the rudder hard into a Split-S.
As I start to drop under him he breaks to the left. I pull through the bottom and back up above him, rolling to keep him at the top of my canopy as I come over the top and right down on him for a full plane shot.
It was the same guy. He chased me 2 sectors to try and take revenge for the spanking I gave him already...only to die again.
