I got the F4C up. Went to defend a CV from these bogeys. When I got there, all the bastards completely ignored the CV and started chasing me.

It was like I was a big magnet. I was trying to run away but there were too many.

Can people tell if you are flying a perked F4?

Back when the arado ratos did damage, I was in a big arado HQ raid. Probably 6 or 8 of us all rolling down the same runway. So I get in the air and the ratos have run out. I was looking out the back as they jettisoned and smacked into they guy right behind me, killshootering my wing off.

I don't believe they can FDSS. Should just show same as dhog.

One time I accidently took off with 25% fuel. I flew to a forward airbase under heavy attack. I shot down an N1k then my engines flamed out. Set up for an extremely short final and some crazy P51 mustang came down and strafed me.

Lol fdiron, that crazy p51 was me <S>. Saw your 262 coming towards the field, thought I'd see if I could manuever for a shot. Swung around behind you and almost shat myself when I saw how quickly I was closing on you. Cut throttle, turned to slow myself down, got lucky and made the shot.

Some guy upped a 262 from a capped base about a month ago, got him on take off. As if that wasn't goofy enough, he ups another 262 from a nearby base, and comes back to exact revenge on me. The guy came in very fast, deliberately picking my Dora out of the furball -- I turned around just enough to catch him in a HO, he missed and I didn't

ive blown a few 262s this tour to collisions. only been shot down twice in them

i was having a grand time at the con - was harrassing all those prop fighters when i get bounced by two 262s.

with some of the FDBs behind me telling me how feked I was , i ran like hell with both enemy jets anywhere from d200 - d600. i dunno how i got out of it but i was saying my prayers after that one. they musta chased me two sectors in mindano valleys and mountains. it was crazy.

i think one of the pilots was Kieran, but i could be wrong.

F4U-4 shows as "F4U4"

F4U-1C has an all blue nose, F4U-1D has a yellow band on the nose so it's pretty obvious when you get in visual range.
