I had the same fun tonight, upped a Ki-84 at A31 (bish base) and flew around from what appeared to be a massive rook group coming in. I seen a few 38s and 51s do the long shallow dive, so I climbed to 15k, picked off a few trying to hit the base. One pony came in over 20k and I was roughly 14k. We started tumbling down as I was expecting him to BNZ and run he ended up reversing on me which I didn't expect. I ended up nailing him before his buddy nailed me (after 10? passes), so I upped a 109k to chase him down - lone behold the running pony was off to land his prize - but I spot two Me-262s patrolling the area, both blow by me without even taking an interest, finally I turn my back to one and just keep an eye on him and there's the long shallow dive after me - I waited until 2k then reversed and got ready for the dodge - to my surprise we both HO'd. He went boom and I lost a wing.
Over all the day was good fun all around, except for having lancstuka's carpet bomb me, then again that base had an amazing defense, with hangers down 3-4 times we still managed to keep it from the onslaught even after it was carpet bombed a dozen times.
Amazing how many whines the bish threw out "oh were being horded..." yet rooks/knits had an equal fight going on at their front. Over all its been one of the best days I've had furballing, tanking, buff hunting.
