The 202 is my primary field defense ride. I had a blast last night at A10, defending it from the hordes of chogs, niks, lancs and P51s. During the fighting I got one of my best Lanc kills - reminded me of the stories I've read about the Winter War.
I had a 190 and 2 P51s one me, making BnZ passes at me. I managed to evade them though, and used every opportunity to grab more alt to reach the bombers above.
I managed to extend a little which gave me some time to climb south of the field. The lancs were making their bomb runs. I saw one of them coming south towards me, just having dropped some of his bombs. I was south of him, a little above. He flew straight under me and I split-s'd behind him, a few hundred feet lower and about 1k back. I quickly glanced back, the two ponies were busy further north, but one 190 and F4U were closing fast.
I dove a little to gain speed and flew under the bomber. I was safe from his guns there. I looked back again, the enemies were about 3k away - I was clear for now. I pulled my nose up to climb towards the Lanc, in the cover of its own tail. Hopefully the tail gunner won't see me.
As my gunsight filled up with the tail of the bomber, I was less than 70yds away from him. I opened up with all of my bb guns, concentrating the fire on the tail gun and elevators. Just as the left stabilizer fell off, the rear gunner woke from his dreaming. Only to fall asleep again - this time forever. The few shots he managed to fire flew past me harmlessly. As the right stabilizer blew off, I glanced back and saw the enemies about 1k behind me. I pulled hard on the stick, stomped on the rudder and dove into safety. In the distance I saw the Lancaster crash into the sea.
