Moderators: If I shouldn't have made a new thread, please close this one. I decided a fresh one would be prudent as the old one was pretty off-topic.
After a brief break (Sorry Vermont and mercury if it seemed like I was snapping at you. I was just getting kinda blue and frustrated due to several things) I returned to the skies over Tank Town.
I was back in my Hurricane IIC and it seemed some of the Spitfire pilots had come out to play. As I took off, I died the moment my wheels left the runway. A Spitfire strafed me on takeoff.
I felt frustration and almost logged back out but decided to hang in and deal with it. You don't get better by not getting back up when knocked down.
I turned north over the valley and observed that much of the fighting was taking place on the northern part of the island. I then observed to my left and low, two friendlies chasing a Rook LA with a Rook Spitfire and Ki-84 in persuit.
I hoped to bounce the Ki-84 riding Tail-End Charlie but his SA was up to par. He turned into me and flew north as I continued south into the fight. The LA had broken away and all I saw was one friendly chasing the enemy Spitfire. I persued the LA with my energy advantage and caught him. I fired at <400 and scored hits and was quickly going to overshoot. I dipped my nose a little and fired into his tail at 200, 100 and 50 and then pulled up. He augered with his tail shot away.
I turned north and started to climb as my team finished off the Spitfire. A Typhoon soon appeared in the skies and most of my team broke away to chase him. Being in a Hurricane, I knew better than to even try so I kept an eye on a Spitfire, 109 and P-51 who had major altitude on us. I figured while my friendlies chased the Typhoon low I could act as a buffer at mid-level between them and the zoomers.
I noticed the Ki-84 had returned and was starting to drop altitude. Not wanting to get caught, I rolled and went inverted and then pulled into a dive. At about that time the Typhoon came flying through under me. I pulled the dive up a bit and engaged WEP to boost speed.
I dove on the Typhoon, which read as a TEMP when I got closer as it flew over a vehicle base. I fired at 400 as it began to pull away and hit it several times. To my suprise it didn't go down but it did start to bank through the smoke and fire of the base. I persued it in the turn, firing half second bursts at <400 and then again at 200. The Tempest fell out of the sky, possibly with an engine hit.
The Ki-84 bounced me as soon as I tried to hug the ground and get away from the fight. It approached from my 7 o-clock and killed me instantly with a cockpit hit.
The following is a video of the fight. There are no tracers for my guns, as per Jango's advice I turned them off to avoid giving the enemy warning and to help my gunnery.
