oo i know they do. a couple weeks ago, i had a guy in a p47 took 3 ho passes at me....he'd extend way out, turn into me, and start firing about 2k out....looked like he was holding his trigger the whole way in. 4th pass, i didn't dodge.(i was in a6m5b) i opened up at 1.5, saw rounds walking in from his wings to the fuse.....he went boom. unfortunatly, seeing as i held the line too long, so did i from the resulting collision.
seperate subject......the other night i accused you of ho'in me. i went through all my films last night looking for it, but cannot find it.
based on the fact that i've never heard of you doing it before, and akak says he's rarely seen ya do it, i hae to assume it was an of angle.....and will apologize for the accusation.

I was below you ... you looked like you dropped your nose for a couple of seconds (pre-merge) and then I think you saw the bombers behind me that were at the same alt as you ... and then decided that they would be the better target since you probably didn't want them to sink your CV.
As you pointed nose down, I started a lead upward merge (I had some good E in my pocket) ... that's when I saw you go nose up ... I climbed like a banshee and saw your whole belly was exposed ... so I raked you from cockpit to tail (underneath).
The bombers then went on to sink the CV ...
Not a biggie CAP ... looking forward to sparring with you again ... <<S>>
