Greetings all! <
>
After a month-and-a-half long hiatus, I have returned. Just thought I'd let ya'll know so you can line up to shoot my ACM-skill-degraded butt :)
oh, and I found something interesting involving a real-life HO during the Battle of Britain
"I soon found another target. About 3,000 yards ahead of me, and at the same level, a Hun was just completing a turn preparatory to re-entering the fray. He saw me almost immediately and rolled out of his turn towards me so that a head-on attack became inevitable. Using both hands on the control column to steady the aircraft and thus keep my aim steady, I peered through the reflector sight at the rapidly closing aircraft. We opened fire together, and immediately a hail of lead thudded into my Spitfire.
One moment the Messerschmitt was a clearly defined shape, its wingspan nicely enclosed within the circle of my reflector sight, and the next it was on top of me, a terrifying blur which came out of the sky ahead. Then we hit."
AL DEERE, 54 Squadron July 9th 1940
Sounds familiar, eh?
