this morning i witnessed along with two other defenders a set of lancasters dive on a v-base hit a hanger do a immelman twice without losing a drone. he eventually killed all 3 hangers. plus the lancasters we hard to hit with a wirble beyond 800 meters that was also wierd. the 3 lancs were finally shot down. 1 by me and two by another defender. comments?

I am glued to my seat! More fascinating and inspiring tales of combat, please!

Standard. Happens all the time. Bit dweeby but I know a few guys that do this regularly and with high degree of accuracy.
Lancs frequently pulled all sorts of crazy corkscrew maneuvers (with bombs still slung up) to evade German fighters. Crew members came back with broken arms and legs for the violence of the maneuvers.
Whilst suicide carpet bombing is a great way to ruin everyone's fun really quickly (and thus dweeby, in my opinion) the sharp maneuvers probably aren't that far out of the aircraft's war-time envelope.
The Hurricane's ability to dive with the biggest, baddest and heaviest American steel is more puzzling to me.

Also, if you're trying to mow down lancs in a weeble wobble, you're in the wrong GV.

true but that guy kept all his drones. i can understand a single lanc doing it but all 3 in formation. id lose my drones every time.

deal with it.
as for not hitting them at 800 yards....well, it was probably more your gunnery than anything. i can't hit anything from a wirble.....

That is a good question. IIRC it was a story from a Lanc navigator.
I don't chuck around nonsense and I remember clearly reading a particularly in-depth account from a Lanc crew. Now that I think about it, I suspect that it was an aviation magazine. Not FlyPast but something similar and it was definitely a crew account.
It's the sort of thing that sticks in your mind... I was amazed that the pilot could do such a thing with such a massive aircraft.
If I've got time I'll dig around through my old mags and see if I can find the correct issue.

hehe i do that
i fly out a while then do an immelmann, dive for speed, then calibrate again lol. im pretty accurate, but ive only noticed it done with lancs

I'm on pins and needles just waiting for valgal's next exciting saga. He should start a blog to keep us informed of his exciting stories.

Maybe we could get a daily total of breaths taken, how many chews it took to finish each meal, and the total number of kernals that weren't chewed properly.

Oh, and I'll bet you didn't stop calling him a "cheater" on 200 for 10 minutes or so.

My guess is it was closer to a half an hour.

Until he got all tuckered out and fell asleep, at which time his mommy gently picked him up and took him to bed for his nappy time. I can almost envision the angelic sight now.

It's more like she grabbed his collar, put him in his kennel, and put the padlock on. The last time she forgot to lock it he probably pee'd on the furniture and chewed up her best pair of pumps.

hey val i will teach you how to do it for lets say 100 bucks deal?

If Lancs doing immelmanns are funny, then one should see the clip of Boeing 747s doing barrelrolls.

Actually Pooh, most of my kinky fantasies involve Bea Arthur, a pair of salad tongs, and a bottle of Ripple.
