scenario combat...or the very occasional intense dogfight in the MA
Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

In a scenario, when all those specks of dust on your monitor start moving, and you're trying to identify them, and you're making sure your group's not too spread out, and checking the map for any potential reinforcements and checking escape routes, then the specks turn into planes, and you see them wingover, and you know not everyone's going to make it home to fly again.

Without a doubt.  Nothing gets the blood pumping like that when the history shows up and it feels just a little bit real for those moments when its no longer a computer game.  You look off your wing at your wingman and it's not a pixel pilot but the guy on that other computer who is flying with you.  The air outside is all of a sudden 60 below, the radio chatter in your ears feeds the imagination and you wait for the moment to engage hoping to come out the other side 'alive'.

Next weekend can't get here soon enough! :)

Nothing like FSO or Scenario events - watching 20 formation of bombers enter from the distance and escorts, the music from secret weapons of the luftwaffe run through your mind.

Whole time my eyes are scanning, mind wondering if I am going to live or die or even get a kill.

No way I will ever top 14 in an event, so my thing now is to simply stay alive :)

5 guys going for the easy Mk1 kill down low.
21 is only half the truth.

Last really fun one in the MA was me in the M vs two Fm2s. Was a prolonged fight that i eventually won. The three yak9s on me the other night was pretty fun too. Put bullets in two of em (maybe the same one twice) before I went down. I'm looking forward to WSDG. It'll be my 1st real scenerio.

91st's B17's coming up on a critical drop, bombsight dialed in, cons dropping in at the same time, escorts doing their best to keep us covered- I love a good 20K (or so) firefight! :t
