this happened monday..
Was tanking today...
Rooks had grabbed V61 (close to biship's HQ)
So I jumped in a good old PanzerIV to go wreak havoc...
not wanting to follow the old well worn path I decided to climb a huge hill and attack field
36. (5,000 ft steep hill)
1st Gear only,,, (3 miles and hour) but the tank kept veering off the up slope as tanks
are wont to do.
Anyway,, this 1 poor Bishop pilot decided I wasn't gonna get up this hill....
Comes after me with a P-51, no damage,, he slams side of hill I get kill #1...
AGain,, same result.. Kill #2
brings a P-38 with bomb.. Near hit wounds my driver, P-38 goes down from damage from
his own bomb.. Kill #3
Still climbing this damned hill..
Panzer shows up at crest of hill,, I kill it with last 4 AP rds... Same guy.. Kill #4
P-51 comes back... same result... Kill #5
P-51 comes back drops bomb that takes my left track. I'm stopped dead but he slams
hill.. Kill#6
Panzer shows up.. Using HE I'm pinging him but has very little effect..
He comes barreling down side of hill towards me.... closing so fast I can't keep my gun on
him... and promptly ROLLS his tank as he gets close... Kill #7...
He salutes me and says he's gonna let his brother in law try....
Alas, HTC decided to reset the host and so I was disco'd while waiting for kill #8....
But watching that PanzerIV go bouncing end over end past me was hilarious........
