Great p38 fight vs 2 spitfires fight. "Never give up"
« on: August 26, 2015, 05:20:17 PM »
Was beat up pretty badly and fortunate to have gotten in the position was in, after I should have died, but it goes to show, never give up on the kill!

Yeah, honestly I have no idea how to do that, which is why I only post the .ahf.

I think once you have a YouTube account you just upload the video.

Well done.  :aok

One big advantage a P-38 has is the reds get fixated on what they assume is an easy kill.  That is what seems to happen in the film.

I am surprised Lefty  did not get a kill on you.  He is pretty good stick.  A little throttle control on his part and we not be seeing this film.

He doesn't have a video. He has an AH film file. You cannot upload that to Youtube. You need to capture footage from the film viewer, import to an editor, put in order you want it, and save it as a video, THEN upload it.

The only way to view an .AHF file is to have a computer with Aces High installed on it and open up the film viewer.

Hah yeah, most people don't think the big ole P38 is going to pull a maverick overshoot on them, especially when they are in better turning planes. The P38 can pull a great overshoot on a BRD. Notice how I also attempted to get the plane horizontal to them so they would have a hard time shooting me. I also recognized their speed from the beginning.
Yeah, I can't believe I survived that one over shoot, had my eyes closed.
It was a death wish to turn back into him there for the merge. I was missing a left aileron and left rudder, which made the plane very hard to control. I was surprised I cought em on the emillman merge, but you can see it was a lack of experience on their part. That 38 does a nasty emillman in the vert which catches a lot of people off guard.
