Ever have one of those nights when you looking forward to your evening excursion on Aces High and every sortie you fly is, well, a disaster? I think every plane I flew last night musta been a refurb...or out of warranty! LOL
Sortie 1: Took a La7 to the battle near A5. Kinda just following around since a pile of our guys are chasing one Spitfire. Then the Spit changes direction and heads straight at me, with a parade of my guys behind him. I hear 2 pings, see I'm missing most of a wing and the prop has stopped moving. Into the drink I go.
Sortie 2: Ok ok, that last sortie was a fluke, musta been. Just a few lucky cannon shots. Let's take a 202 up, we haven't flown one of those for quite a while. Up we go, again to A5. Not really in range of any action, then spot a bunch of guys hammering some P51s and 109s. One 109 turns to me, and makes a 9-to-3 strafe kinda thing. I hear one ping hit, and the engine stops. Hmm, been through this before. Again, into the drink I go.
Sortie 3 No more stinking fighters. Someone on the engine assembly line is sleeping! Lets roll a Lanc to 1 and push em off furball island. Once over target, a Nik uses its warp engines and turbo lasers. I hear 3 pings and I'm back in the tower. I don't know WHAT he hit, or HOW he hit it, but here I am again
Finally, my last sortie in the Lanc, I managed to pound a few hangars in. A Spit trails me all the way back to my base and he kills my gear, guns, 2 engines and ailerons. I managed to gethim smoking real good and he breaks off his attack. Aparently he made it home, I never saw a kill message. After a long final, I belly the Lancaser in onthe runway safely. The only landing I've made all night!
Those skies were rough last night!!
On that high note, I called it an evening. Phew, somedays are just as I said in the topic... !
