Gremlin you are speculating and incorrectly.
I told my flight to engage 20k a6m's and to NOT turn but to blow through before coming back at them, unfortunately some of us were either to low or slow or unwilling to do this.
Now i see the KI67 flight passing below me and order to attack them not the A6m's, I check and see wingy trying to do this but the rest were getting tangled with A6m,s.
Now as much as i wanted to kill the Buffs as i still had alt, I had a choice abandon the flight getting tangled below with the A6m's or kill buffs.
I told the guys to help each other and went down to assist as well, now at this point i get the dreaded switch to tcp and after warning the squad i could get dumped much to my surprise was still connected but getting major warps on all aircraft no chance at all of hitting anything.
Got a 6 call from a squaddie an A6M had warped onto my 6 and i never saw it, took a few hits but no damage before i evaded him.
Reversed into the fight to see my remaining 2 squaddies getting ripped apart by at least 6 KI61 that had just arrived, went straight at them hoping to help but last one went down while i was still 1.5 to 2.0k out, took stock of situation crap load of KI61 and an A6m started after me, thats not good.
Tried to run for base hoping to survive to fight on my terms later.
Some broke off but last time i checked had at least 2 KI61 in sight coalt (on the deck) and a higher A6m trailing after me.
No way i could try to fight that its as bad as an LA7 / Spit tag team.
Anyway KI61 caught me like an express train and his cannons ripped the crap outa me removing my left wing just as i began to think i might make the field.
So Gremlin thats what i mean by being unwillingly dragged low, killing fighters means nothing and has no value in scenarios until the buffs have been dealt with, unfortunately not everybody seems to agree.
And no i was not setup as i never wanted to be fighting zekes low when buffs were flying on by.
Unfortunatel many guys still play the Tod's with an MA mentality meaning they have to engage the first enemy they see without thinking at all.
Grayarea you are incorrect, my squad only consisted of 4 aircraft at least 2 of us were ripped apart by the KI61 and i believe a third was as well, personally i was killed by a KI61 no doubt about it. He chased me down no A6m was anywhere in guns range. If an A6m ends up with the credit for it then it does not deserve it, I may have taken a few pings from an A6 minutes ealier but had NO damage from it.
I also believe Grayarea you are saying we are crap cos we were killed by the A6m which is outclassed by the P40 in all departments.
We must be the worst scoring squad ever to play scenarios then.
However out of a pile of P40's that seem to have been killed there, its worth noting 3 of our squad were the last ones flying.
