The perfect kill

[jonnyb]

Best kill ever:

I take my trusty bravo pony out to stretch its legs.  As I take off I notice a single delta, all shiny and gleaming, coming into the base.  We play cat and mouse for a while, each trying to lure the other into a fatal mistake.  Finally, I have gained enough altitude to take the fight to him.  We go at it for nearly 7 minutes.  We're on the deck, riding the stall horn.  We're scissoring, we're breaking, we're doing everything possible to win position.  At last I manage to get in a snapshot.  His wingtip comes off and he loops into the ocean.

Best kill I've ever had.   to warpy for that fight.

The jamming or no fire of the guns on the P-51B was a real problem in WWII.  It was due to how they were mounted in the wing.  As they've already stated this problem was fixed with the D model.  In the book "Into the Teeth of the Tiger" they explain this whole problem.  It was written by a WWII survivor who flew for the Flying Tigers in China.

It was also fixed in later B/C models that got retrofitted with the ammo belt feed introduced in the D model.

I remember flying along at 18,000ft in my wooden crate when I spotted such a pretty sight about 6,000ft below me.  Two Bf110G-2s in such perfect and tight formation, the wingman behind and to the left of the leader.  Maybe 100ft between them.

I roll over, hit WEP and dive.

The Mossie is creaking and groaning from overspeed as I pull in behind them.

I'm coming up on them so fast.

Come on, don't look behind you.

Almost there....

Fire a burst from the cannons at the wingman.  Ah, there he goes, instant trip to the tower in the sky.

Tak a quarter second to line up on the leader.

Fire a burst, pause for a split second, fire again.  He's on his way to the sky tower now.

They never even twitched.

Zoom back up.

Our bombers in this sector are a little safer now.



(Actually that isn't perfect as I enjoy a good fight.  However they were so pretty in their nice little formation, and a Mossie killing Bf110s is just so right)

This  is a game right?  Did you kill a real person or no?

A friendly field is being vulched. The huge red DARBAR of doom casts its evil shadow over the sector.

Green dots appear and disappear in my screen, all in vain. Before my mind's eye my countrymen are falling in flames.

Up my trusted P-51B to go to the rescue, knowing full well that it will be futile.

Climb up high because I expect the vulchers to come in ridiculously high too, despite their numerical advantage.

 you suck......................... ...



When I arrive at the field I see a handful of Spits low as well as another P-51.

 you still suck don't fool anyone....................... ...............

I try a few B & Z's but they evade and with an eye on the sky above I dare not blow my E for one kill.


suck and run.......................... ............................


Sure enough, the high bogies arrive, so I hit WEP, extend a bit and start climbing.


****ting pants syndrome..................... .........

109's and 190's far behind me.

Spit !'s and Hurri's

Regain E............................ .............

A lone 109 seems intent on following me, we're about co-alt >18.000 feet.

Good thing for that deck fighting ability u possess...................... ........



We merge, he passes under me. I loop without pulling too much G.

He is in front of me now and does a split S, I roll inverted and follow.


LOL a 109 doing a Split-S?  I want your drugs man/........................

He pulls up and loops very tightly.

I follow and start to black out.

Umm duh that is what happens at Chuck E cheese's too!.......................

Just before everything goes black I see myself gaining in the loop and that he is close at 350.


MacGyer? (Sp) Drunk........................ ....


He will cross my nose in half a second.

As do many chicks do........................... .....

Everythink goes black and I pull the trigger for a very short burst.

Your wife doesn't notice....................... .......

I see hit sprites on a completely black screen.

Release the blindfold.................... ....

I ease pressure on my stick and the world returns again.

Release the noose!............................. .......

I look up and see a Bf-109.

I observe him bursting into flames and losing a wing.

Homo......................... ..................

A kill is awarded.

Martha Stewart grows a wing......................... .............

My heart is full of joy.

Memories, tiny pictures..................... ............

Behind me the hordes overrun and capture the field.

Leearn some CAP.......................... ........................

One 109 will not return.

Because iIfought 4-1 pump chest feel better thor uggh!!.......

I return to base and land safely with nearly all my ammo.

Pacifist..................... ...............

Contemplate that in real life my guns wouldn't have fired under high G.


Homo......................... ............................. ......


Smile for the perfect kill.

I've read of at least 1 account where a P-51D pilot made a kill while under 7G's.  

Source:  "Mustang"- a book I read several years ago.

In my Dora, most of my spit kills are at 1 g (they dont see me) or firing while blockout (spits turn hard but 190 instant. turns make the job). I am use to fire with a black screen at 150 range.

I don't fly the D-9 much, guess it can be flown a bit like I fly P-51's but it's (much) harder to aim the guns.

Don't you collide often when you try to shoot Spits that close in black-out turns?
