Here's a different twist on this. Last night I took a Mossy up to 28k on an anti-Buff CAP of the Rook HQ. These sorties beat down one's K/H and K/S, but I could care less about those numbers. I spot a P-47 up around 35k headed for the HQ, so I turn around and head that way. When I arrive, I find the Jug being chased around by a gaggle of Rook fighters including a Me 262. Problem is, they're not having any success (hey, the Jug is really capable in the thin air). I watch as the Jug gets an opening and makes a run for it. His pursuers are hauling around to start the chase. However, I'm in good position to intercept the Jug and head in to meet him on an off-angle merge. As he races towards me, I pinch hard on the merge and squeeze off a "Hail Mary" snapshot. I get lucky and hit him solid, blowing off his wing, and down he goes.
In the text buffer comes something like this: "5 on 1 on my P-47 at 25k, sheesh."
I type back: "Yeah, but it was a Mosquito that got you at 25k, not one of those 5"
He returns: "lol Widewing. There was a 262 chasing me too."
I respond: " Well, it was a lucky shot. BTW, I watched everything, great fight on your part, you had 'em tied in knots."
Between that Jug jocky out-flying them all, plus a Mossy popping in to get the kill at such a rediculous height, you know there were 5 of my Rook countrymates mumbling to themselves.....
Later, I stalked a Spitfire at his low 6 for about 10 miles (I was in the Squad night designated fighter, a Niki). I had closed to just under 700 yards, wanting 400 to open fire. Just then, a Mustang scorched in and whacked the Spit. I was pissed, not at the loss of the kill, so much as the time wasted. The P-51 pilot apologized. Really didn't need to tho. Turn-about is, indeed, fair play.
My regards,
Widewing
