I went to the DA tonight for a bit and seen a dot on dar coming the long way around to our airfield. It was Charger1 in the F4U4 trying to vulch. I killed him before he could  :devil Then I look down and see a tempest hoing any and everything within his gun range. I killed him too :devil Figured I seen enough of this crap and landed my 2 kills and logged off. Jeez there's some real aces in there  :rolleyes:

LIAR!!!!  We had some good duel before you logged.  Or was this a different time

I generally liked the throttle control that Battfink was using. Impressed me a litte bit, but that was a nice pass on them. :aok :salute

Well just to show my nerves of steel I went for the Ho on this deadly TBM. Dang, could swear I heard bugs hitting the windscreen.  I'll clean those off when I land. :rofl :rofl

Come off it shuffler, that's a bit too 'elite'...It's a damn TBM. Everybody HOs bombers, especially if they have ord loaded.


Well done Getback, youve added to the list. Acceptable times to HO.

1. in a 3 on 1

2. Vs a bomber

Shuffler, Shuffler, Shuffler.....Did you even watch the film in the original post? Methinks you fail to see the point. Are you honestly trying to tell us you've never taken a head on vs a TBM?  :rofl

Watch my film and tell me I should not have taken the shot on the F4U.....

I never watch the films :)


I never shoot any plane in the HO position..... unless they open up first. I much rather floing around in the air and fight. Many times when they HO I still never shoot. The best are when merging and you hold fire and so do they. Then you know this is some fella that enjoys the fight and is not just thinking kill kill kill.

If I have someone come in and actually want to fight and I am lucky enough to get the upper hand, I'll pull off and wish them luck on making it back to base.

Now if this post is all a joke about something funny that happened in a film then haha. Pretty amazing what some can do in a TBM BTW.

As for your elite statement..... I'm nowhere near that.... I'm just lucky more often than not.
