I crashed my first time. :uhoh

No matter. Fun in AH doesnt start until you hit 20eny. The 262 is an exciting aircraft however. I spent a lot of time in the TA with it before upping it again. Not that Im any good in it mind you but I generally dont crash them anymore.

Umm I expected to land the 7 kills I had on it untill the CTD.

Just because I have little time to play lately doesn't mean I don't know how to do it.. I lost all my perks several times when I quit accounts and once when I renamed.


You did land 7 kills one time in the 262 so what is the complaint? :headscratch: ;) Did you get another 7? I was in a 262 you shot down, because you and another 262 were working me over.
At one time your whole airforce was behind me, I was laughing watching all the spits niks and 190s all in a row trying to shoot me. You finally did get the kill
because it was hard to watch you and the other 262. Was a fun fight though.

I'm pretty sure I was the only 262, at least I was the only one that managed to stay on your tail. I don't keep plane icons on friendly so can't say 100% sure. I was in real trouble with you because my deflection aiming with the 30mm sucks due to very little practise. Had several d200-d400 deflection shots but it seems I didn't pull enough lead. I was mostly worried about running out of ammo.

Did you engage the alleged other 262 before I came in? Because I saw 2 rooks furballing low, spotted you higher and started an energy saving climb to engage you.

This, however, has nothing to do with the unfortunate CTD. Only CTD in the whole year and it has to happen when I invest most of my perks *sigh*.

There were two of you that is why I was trying to stay out of your guns while watching for the other 262. One time looked back and looked like I had a red tail, just a
line of red airplanes. :) As I said you did land 7 just before that fight, is that the 7 you said you lost? The other 262 did stay high when we went low that is why I kept expecting  him
to come booming in.

Ok I had no idea of that other 262. My plan was to force you to turn in order to kill you myself or enable my slower teamies to get you. That's why I took the dangerous climbing attack approach. About the CTD, I had about 4 kills gathered when I CTD'd but getting there fast..

hehehe, Ghi is one of the best shots in the game and one of the most deadly people to dive on while he is flying that IL2 against vulchers.

Good lord you must fly perk planes almost exclusively. I'd have to use more than 22000 perks for 80%.

Try to do a name change on arena and you'll find out you're just about 26400 perks lighter.

Believe it or not Shuff, my highest ever perk count in fighters was something like 400. I have never bothered to save them up. Everytime i can afford a 262 i fly one and every sortie i end up dying in them.   :furious
What's worse is i don't fly low ENY planes that much. Usualy in my mossie i can earn perks like no man's business. I'm just a spend-a-holic. You don't want to see my real life bank balance

I'm trying to do my best at supporting the AH economy by spending my fighter perks as I get them. And I think I do a fine job. So far I lost due to enemy action:

44 F4U-C    
91 F4U-4    
58 Me 163
87 Me 262   
48 Spit XIV   
229 Tempest  

Total net value: 34,950 fighter perks perks.  :rock

And I made many players happy by giving them the opportunity to shoot down a perktard :D
