Why do you guys always have to attack someone?  Geez, the guy was telling his story, it didn't have to be intended to convince anyone he was God's Gift to Aces High or anything.  He just had a good time with something and wanted to chat about it.  What's wrong with that?

I spent a lot of time this last week or so busting tanks with the Yak-9T, actually.  I got several Panzers and wirbels, along with the easier bait like M3s and whatnot.  I had a good time one mission where I'd already shot down two planes in the Yak, and discovered a Panzer heading to the town we were trying to drop and capture.  I killed its engine on the first or second pass, and then it took two or three more passes to finally kill it outright using my very last cannon round.  On my previous pass the guy had splattered my blood all over the inside of the cockpit, and on my final pass that killed him he took out my oil.

I couldn't make it all the way back to our nearest friendly base so I landed at the field we were trying to take, on one of the little roads parallel to the runway, and waited (and passed out a couple times) to see if we'd take it before I bled out.  We did, and I landed three kills.  That's what's so fun about the Yak-9T; you can kill planes with it, and still go down and take out a tank if you have to.

over the weekend i use the hurri2d and the yak9t for killing gvs. after numerous hits with the hurri i managed 1 m8 kill and 1 kill on a m4. with the yak9t i killed 2 m8's, 2 m3's, 1 m16, and 1 m4. im more comfortable with the yak, it has a faster reload. with the hurri i had to get really close and pop one round off and come back for another pass. ive tried the b25 and keep getting shot down by gvs so i dont even bother.
