I had a fun night flying the A-20 as a fighter....
Killed a low formation of Tu-2s... Rearmed and took off into a 30 plane NOE. Nikis and 110s, with lots of Lancs. I immediately turned around to land and grab a Wirbel, but got vulched.
At a different field, I killed a 110, and on my way to a V-base fight, was bounced by a C.205. I waited a split second too long to execute my patented "holy moly, where'd he go?" evasive, and had a flap shot off. The C.205 and I went vertical, and he ended up about 45 degrees of my right rear quarter. I pulled around in a right-hand lufberry. Three turns later, I was 45 degrees off his six, despite not having flaps. The C.205 pilot saw that he'd be dead if he stayed in the turning contest and broke out and extended about 2k, then reversed in. I hit him with a passing shot and the fight went vertical again. First up, and then down, where I pinged up his left wing as he passed. However, I was watching him and not the ground. I clipped a tree or the ground with a wing tip. potNpans lived to fight some more, grateful, no doubt at his good fortune. We exchanged salutes.
I took off again and spotted two aircraft inbound. A P-51 and an A-20. I shot down the A-20, and the Mustang ran. Heading to the V-base once more, I ran into a 109G-14. I beat him on the reverse, and smoked his motor and shot off some other parts. He dived away and ran toward a higher P-51 and Ki-84. The Mustang ignored me, the Ki-84 engaged. I zoomed up to him and forced him to break hard. We entered an out of plane lufberry. Up, then down. I had flaps out. Gradually, I gained, because the Ki-84's flaps would retract on the way down. Mine did not. Seeing this, the pilot went vertical and attempted to loop over the top. I cut inside the loop and shot him down. <S> to Beaver for the good fight.
The fight pretty much ended. I landed and went to another base under attack. Two P-51s were attempting to pork the base. I killed one, while the other was being pursued by a Ta 152. This P-51 reversed and headed to the base again, I cut across his turn and made a good 90 degree deflection shot. Smoked his engine and shot off his rudder. He turned again, and I finished him off. The Ta 152 driver had his chances, but missed. As I flew towards our base, an La-7 showed up. As is always the case (because I rarely fly the A-20 above 5k), it was above me and dived in. I evaded easily and rolled out behind the La-7. I took a shot at about 800 yards. I got some solid hits, and he ran off. A little later, the text buffer said that I got an assist .
I landed and called it a night. A fun night in the A-20.
