1 vs multi encounter where you came out alive?
I have many 1 vs 4's a couple of 1 vs 5's and my personal best a 1 vs 6, 3 augers and 3 kills and I fly off into the sunset!
PS I am sure the thread flamers will come out on this one, but I encourage it out of boredom!

I am a terrible pilot but I have had 2 1 vs 4's it felt good 4 kills on each occasion, but then again I did have alt advantage both times and it was against the same bunch of people.
As far as emotional High's go in game, the best ever was recently against someone in one of the arena's I forget who it was, perhaps he will read this reply and remind me who it was.
Basically I was in a P51-D and was having a nice High Alt turn fight with a pilot who was in an f4u think it was either that A or D model, but we turned and turned for a good 2-3 minutes, no-one having angles or advantage, during this time we had both lost a bit of altitude and one of the guys countrymen engaged me also in his niki. To my surprise the guy who I was 1v1'ing broke off and left me to take care of the niki, which I did, we then both decided to break off and RTB and exchanged pleasantries on channel 200.
If the guy reads this post Sir I salute your sportsmanship, not often you see that kind of thing! big !!!

I get into many 1v4s, 1v5s, ive had a few 1v7s that I made out and a 1v10.
Dont ask me how I made it in the 1v10 but I was in my P38J with the 1st FG red skin and somehow made it out in that fight between 41 and 45 I believe it is on the Baltic map (the large field and small field in that straight). I started about 6k but got worked down by all the maneuvering with my P38. Eventually got worked to the deck, made a 3-4 auger and the rest were with guns. I know there was a ki84, 4 spits I believe, some la7s, a 51, and a yak I believe.
Again dont ask how I did but wish I had filmed it. I was laughing all the way to base that I made it out but did have some damage. Think the rooks coming to my aid fast scared the enemy trying to return for vengence off.

me v 8,
couple a years ago now. All I remember was fighting a spit low on the water, 3 110s, 2 LA7s and 3 others (can't remember plane type but I think they were navy birds). As I popped the spit I saw the LAs and 110s screaming in. Avoided their 1st pass and the other 3 inned. They all tried to saddle up on my low, slow FM2 and the fight was on!
10 Minutes later, I had killed both LAs and all others crashed! I was shakin so bad I could barely make the landing. Most invigorating fight I ever had in AH!
Those are the fights that keep me comin back!

1 vs multi encounter where you came out alive?
I have had many 1 vs multi encounters but I hardly ever come out alive because I tend to stay in the fight long after I should have bugged out. I did have one that I remember were I lived, me vs 5 defending a base. Baltic map, EWA late December. enemy pilots had been coming at the base for the last hour or so 1 or 2 at a time and NB and I were taken turns shootin them down. I said something about "its a good thing they arent coming at the same time" Another base was flashing and NB left and I stayed. pretty soon dar bar comes up and I loadup and head out to meet and greet :D . I was flying a HurriIIc . I climb out and get to about 5k and start counting bogies. 2 at about 5k, 2 more just a little higher, and 1 looks like 15k. I get icons, 2 P40s, a hurri2, a TBM and a high zeke. I call out to NB for help, I wasnt really worried about the P40s or the TMB but I hate hurris and zekes, especially the high zeke.
"NB, I need some help, I got 5 bogies and ones a high zeke"
he came back "you can do it AS, just remember, they suck and you dont. the high zeke is probably ****** (cant remember the guys name) just avoid his B&Z cherrypickin and kill the others"
I resigned myself to my fate. Dropped my nose to build up some speed. The 2 P40s and the hurri all went for the headon. I speed past those 3 and popped the TBM. Where's the high zeke, still up there not coming down yet. Turn and find the P40's and hurri, headon again, drop to the deck, pick up a little more speed, roll up and behind one P40, take of the tail, tracers, getting hits oops hurri2 behind me, nose down, roll right, pull up and over, bang hit the hurri see something fall off, I hoping its something important, watch the zeke here he comes, he gets some 7mm hits on me, roll left, chop the throttle, stand on the rudder, theres the other P40, fire, get hits, zeke overshoots and pulls back up. Theres the hurri again, flashes past my nose, roll and pull hard to the right, hurri trys to pull up, track him fire, take off his wing. Here comes the zeke again, I nose down, roll inverted, pull out and there's the P40 again, line up, damn zeke is back. hit right rudder, slide out, then barrel roll, zeke overshoots again and trys to climb, I yank my nose back, line up and fire, zeke is now a zippo, all I have to do is avoid him till he explodes. Focus back on P40, he tries to out turn me, plane is hard to turn, seems I lost my left elevator and rudder. roll and hit the P40, he goes down. Zeke is trying to get behind me, I turn towards base, he blows up.
less than 5 minutes, a wild ride indeed

Do what every night? You haven't made it clear what you do.

I had one the other night that started out as a 1 vs 2 , a spixteen and a k4, with the K4 all over me in my 1-hog. Then I saw a mass of planes heading our way, as if the 109k4 and spit wasn't enough! The fight went on for about 4 to 5 minutes and when I finally got shot down, I had made 3 auger and there were 11 maybe 12 on me! I can't remember who I was talking smack to at the time, but he was the 109k4 that was there originally and he typed a compliment to me on 200 something like "Even though I hate you very much, that was some awesome flying!" I replied, "thank you, and hate is a very strong word!" hee hee :aok

Now that you mention it sveno it was you I recognise the name. It was around TT i dont think, but it was a map I haven't played on a lot where like when u leave a lot of the base you're flying off the edge of a cliff and have 2-3k alt.
I am pretty sure it was you! was really nice and really nice sportsmanship :)

I'm happy if I survive a 1v1

3 vs 1, but I had already lost an elevator in a previous fight (2 kills already, before this fight started). I as rtb on the deck in a spit14 and got bounced by super-fast cons. I can't totally remember because it was so long ago. I think it was LA7, P51, and something else... n1k2 or something.
Anyways they all came in high, fast, and behind me, I'm missing an elevator, and it was STILL over with me shooting down 3 enemy planes inside of 2 minutes. I can't explain it. Part of it was that they weren't very good, but c'mon, I was crippled! They shoulda had me. Something just "clicked" in my head and I saw how to kill them all before they merged. I've yet to repeat this "clicking" action, but can only describe it as a zen thing when you're golfing and your mind goes clean and all of a sudden you see the obvious path that you need to take.
I don't remember the specifics, but I distinctly remember the feeling, the ability to make only one move and be behind the enemy. None were proxies or crashes, all shot down.

1 on 5 landed 4 and ran out of gas as i touched down. my favorite was getting 3 kills after a piolit wound.
