Hi ya LePaul!
Like I said last night, you should add bad luck to that as well.
Here's why:
As LePaul stated he got his Lanc up to alt and on his way to our HQ. His timing was absolutely perfect! It was the darkest of the night, and our dot Radar at HQ had been taken down already by another Lanc, so we only had the bar, and not the dot pinpoint location.
The only reason I was up that high and patrolling in my 152 in the first place was to catch that Lanc on his return trip....didn't want to give him a free pass
Well, as luck would have it, someone else shoots down that Lanc, and so with all this alt and plenty of gas, I decide to patrol that particular corridor. I pull up the map and see a strength bar in that sector, but no pinpoint dot.
So I just head east hoping to see something.
As stated earlier, it is dark as dark can be, so I have no hope of seeing any dots and with the pinpoint radar down, I won't be able to spot him on dar either.
Just as I am about to turn back west and start my let down to land, WHAM!, this Lanc icon hits me square in the face at 4K! Blind-flipping-Luck that I ran across LePaul.
So the first thing I do is blow the initial merge and now I'm hanging off his left wing watching tracers shoot all around me, but no hits! I dip down and try to hit him from underneath and get some hits, but his gunner got my rad. Uh-Oh, I think, better hurry now, so I just decide to sit off his six and try my luck. Again that luck thing comes in, and his gunner is missing me as I'm landing 30mm and 20mm hits on him....whew!
Like I said, that entire engagement was based on Luck!...Good Luck for me, and Bad Luck for LePaul.
<S> LePaul, I'm sure when we meet again, it will be me in the silk!
