Were you suddenly worried that we might have let one slip through? :D

 :O Oh Snap!
I know at least one got out alive, we tried to get angles on it...
But it was moving to quick, and even though it was a loner, I called our guys off it.
Those flying death stars are just a menace with all those bristling guns! We got some rounds into him, and hoped for the best.

Pleasure flying with the 334th last night Gav, as well as WD40.

I managed three kills without the aid of my tailgun which got shotout early...about 5 assists too.

Definitely agree that they are a formidable opponent for the A6M-2!

We were talking about this during Frame4 of Red Storm.

From the MA run a long time back. A P51B nailed me til he ran out of ammo. I don't think he got my drones (previous action removed them)



Leaking so many tanks I ran out of gas 2 sectors from home, but at 25k glided the entire way back to land safely.

Another time I was in a C2 and got raked nonstop with .303 rounds:




Disengaged and made it out okay. Surprised my wings didn't fall off.
