One last question...what was the deal with the rockets when you upped the P-38L?  You know those aren't air to air rockets, right?  Have to admit, not often does someone attempt to HO me with HVARs.

ack-ack

I've seen this before too. I chalked it up to someone jettisoning the weight (might've been).

I admit curiosity. What would happen in the unlikely event an a-g rocket hit you midair? Would the impact on the nose be sufficient to even detonate said projectile or would it pass through without detonation? I guess my cruiosity applies to both AH and RW.
Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.

So...after bludgeoning my way through this thread I have two questions:

1. Are we perking spitfires now?
2. Do I have to talk smack to get lessons from Ack-Ack or can I just ask politely?

It would detonate and blow the plane out of the sky.  There was a flight I had many years ago in the P-38L where I was lugging some bombs and a rocket to hit a V base when I stumbled on a formation of B-17s and fired my rockets at them in more of a chits and giggles sort of thing when my rockets actually hit the lead and starboard B-17s, killing them both in a blazing display of pyrotechnics.  The only other time I've ever killed an airplane with HVARs when Murdr and I were vulching using our rockets.

You just have to smile and bat your lashes in my direction.

A Spitfire is easy to PWN, I should know because I fly them and know them back to front (In this Game).

Energy is the prime factor in fighting Spits, keep it. Never turn with it unless you are a devoted turner such as a Zeke or Hurri. Always be agressive when fighting Spits, that early cheap shot works wonders on the Spitfires light framework.
