I was in a N1K the other night and shot the entire right wing off of a spit. He managed to pull out of a dive, climb, turn and fly almost as if not damaged. I got on his six to shoot him up again. As I closed to about D-150, He started firing, forward, and I took hits (while he was in my gunsight). We were the only two aircraft in the area. I asked him about it, he didn't answer all of my questions, but he said:
I was in front of him when he fired.
He was from Japan and had a ping rate of 240 to 300.
He also said that he had a red beacon.
He shot my wing off without ever getting on my six, from my point of view. (I got the kill though)
This was about the wierdest thing that I have seen in a long time. Can anyone shed any light on what might have happened? Could net lag be so severe that we both viewed each other at our 12:00?
(my ping rate is about 80)
Thanks;
