We were flying in defense of A10 on the islands map. and we had lost our CV, A10 was inoperable, So I launched a trio of 88's towards thier CV.

I was coming in as low as the AI can go 150 i believe and lined up for the torp run...torps away!

Down went the enemy CV all hands lost ;)

I turned away when a Dhog tried to fly up my 6. He took two bombers with him before I sent him face first into the water.

On 1 engine and no rudder, missing a good portion of wing. I RTB successfully with 2 kills and a CV under my belt.

It might not seem very cool, but it was the first time I sank a CV with torps.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Was flying in 262 killing NOE 110 mission, small one for a vbase.  Was driving around looking for a goon, and decided to rtb with 5 kills.  Well, Otw home, i come to a 262 that had at least 5k on mine.  I raced for home praying i would not have to engage this high 262.  Well.. I look on dar and i see a dot hoppin sectors at a time.. So at this point.. i knew i would have to fight.  I went into vert climb and dove under him as he attacked.  He dove down on me, I rolled, pulled up and got onto his 6.. but slow...


Well.. By this time the moron decided to go into very and I gained rapidly and didn't shoot even at d200 cause i had only 20 rounds of 30mm.  I was starting to overshoot so I slammed my rudder right and cut throttle, then after all this excitment, he rips his wings going into the vert, I hit his half/262 otw down, got credit.  Lazer has landed 6 victories in 262.  Was fun sortie =):eek: :cool:

For more interesting missions, do a search with "Funniest Kill".

My Sortie(s) Of The Day
« Reply #21 on: August 11, 2002, 12:21:26 PM »
Everyone! I have lost 4 262's in 3 days but anyways...on to the story...the mission ended up being Hazed, Hizakate, and BlueiceJ for a little P40 mission to bishrook land. It started out with a 190 and a spit. I engadged the 190 and hit him about 8 times in the center of the plane no damage, Hazed shoots his wing off...I get the kill. We all engage the spit...Hizakite stalls and I see kill #2 OK sweet, and than boom boom boom...Hizakite stalls in ground...Hazed stalls in ground Spit stalls into ground...kill #3...SWEET!! Now where are my wingman? Oh damn they stalled! hehe...so next mission Hazed makes it.............P40 mission, I am trailing WAY behind because I was chatting on AIM, but what happens is we get to the field about 94 spits and la7s and hurris show up...everyone dies off in a matter of 5 minutes...i am the last one left, I make a Spit stall into the ground but I get assist? OK...so than I go back to tower after dying and Hazed is like damn blueicej was the last one left lol. Next mission, 190A5's...cons everywhere! I get outta there with 3 kills and me and Hazed are left and figures with my luck a 262 & 2 la7s gang up on me. That was my wacked out day Hazed and Hizakite for today's fun.

Flossy:"he hadn't seen my LVT after all???"

Don't know if it's this way for all, but LTVs seldom show an icon until you're right next to em. Normal enemy gv icon range of 1.5k doesn't seem to apply to the LTV:confused:

No specific sortie, just the kind of sortie that gets the juices flowing :)

Any good 1 on 1, had a great one with Wespe last tour, him in a G10 with me in a 1D. Great fight. Had another with a 109 this tour and can't remember his name. Great fight, went on a quite a few minutes until a countryman jumped in and "saved" me.

Any sortie where you get in too deep, there are planes everywhere and there all red, your hair catches on fire and you wear out your hat switch acting and reacting to whats going on around you taking your shots as they present themselves.  Get headed in the right direction and make it out of the fire, on the deck, pedal to the metal.....alive    WHOOOHAA :D
