So long for the 1 ping kills ! :D
« on: April 12, 2000, 02:32:00 AM »
Well, <S!> to Staga first of all !

We were pretty lonely over 58 yesterday evening (GMT) and I was flying a Heavy F4U 1C (2x 1Klbers). I was there with Rocket if I remember well and we were ready to rollin on a happless Panzer when a lone P51 appeared from the North...I quicly released both my eggs on the Tank and as I had a lot of smash, quicly climbed again to come towards the Pony that was turning on us.

Rocket got in a fight with it , but they didn't touch each other & when I arived on scene, the pony ran away (Smart guy). Rocket went back to finish off the Field while I kept an eye on the Pony who after 3/4 minutes came back to plunge on Rocket....

The rest is a little blurry, but I remember chasing that pony and Hitting him at least 5/6 times with snapshots at aproximately 800yds (I saw the hits count).

Yet, Satga made it safely home , with me shadowing him, barely out of range and he landed his bird safely...

We had a chat later on, and he told me that both his ailerons & elevators were shot, but his engine was fine.... <S!> for managing to land that !

I am no regular at flying the F4U, I only use them to do JABO missions, but so long for the 1 ping death with that bird  

NB, Staga won this one, since I was out of fuel, and I had to ditch in enemy territory & I was captured

Hiya Saw !

I thought I could take care of that N1K but then I noticed that ugly   Corsair closing fast. I hit wep to disengage and to get better position which I get  
I shooted a short burst to nik and see some hits when I checked my six and there you are  
I don't know how to use p-51 efectifully(sp?) so I tryed to gain some speed to save my a..

Most of time you were about 0,8 - 1,0k behind me running as  fast I can  

When check damages I noticed that local insurance company is gonna loose a lot of money...
Something like mile before field I run out of fuel but then I was already in acks cover.
Without few little things which could help me landing nicely I had to make bellylanding  

That was nice battle after all  
I hope next time I see you I'm on G10 w/30mm
