LOL! You mean
try to kill, right? So far, if I want to see another Tony, I have to watch my own shadow.
I had great fun with it tonight. Although it didn't start out well. I was vulched twice just trying to get off the runway. I was so damned angry, I manned an ack and killed all three of the guys who were vulching the field.
That was very satisfying. But, where the hell were my Rookmates?? It doesn't say much for teamwork and organization when you have to clear the sky above your own field, just to take off.
Nonetheless, I'm still maintaining about a 4:1 kill to death ratio, despite engaging in high risk stuff, like attacking PTs and trying to take off while the field is capped. I even did some furballin' just for the hell of it. I had two really good one on ones. The first one was a epic struggle between me with my C.205, and some guy who calls himself BDBAD. He was in an La-7, and I love to tackle those. He went vertical, and having good speed, I followed and the fun began. Up, down and finally in an ever tightening Lufberry. We started out at opposite sides of the circle. But, as speeds came down, I began to reel in the Lavochkin. When my speed hit 190, I added some flaps. Realizing that he was losing ground, BDBAD, breaks away and trys to extend. He gets out about 1.6k, then half-loops, trying for a HOH. Well, I've got pretty good guns too. So, as he rushes in, I slip to the left and open fire. He flashes past, his mangled La-7 then fluttering to the ground.
Later, I do it again with a Yak-9U. This time, the pilot loses sight of me for a second or two. It cost him. I shot him out of a chandelle with an 80 degree deflection shot. That Tony has very lethal guns.
Yes sir, the Ki-61 is an excellent machine.
My best,
Widewing
