I started friday nite off with a K/D of 7.0 in fighters when me and a few squadies went on a tear and was landing 4,5,6 kills a piece every sortie. We were like a well oiled killing machine.It was a blast.For the first time EVER I got my K/D to 10.5 to 1. I'm flying around drinking beer and blowing up everything that comes near me. At this point i'm thinkin' no one can beat me.
Well then I see a low B5N..dive in and the tail gun gets my oil :frown: I go up and over to finish him off and his tail gun finishes ME off :cry I promply re-up to get my him back and see a high pony and he dives in for the easy pick..i'm dead again :mad: :cry :cry
So, i re-up from a different base to kill him too and i get to about 10K and DOH! there is a little above me....waiting. A fight ensues and I think I got him in the bag when he does a beautiful reverse on me and saddles up on my 6 and blows my wing off. Thank-you H5117 :cry :cry :cry now i'm worse off then when i started.
moral of the story: just when I thought I was good, H5117 came along and schooled me <<S>> H5117

Dont worry about score... You have good tours and bad tours... I think my only ever good tour was last one, I kept my fight K/D to 2 I think, I only checked it like once or twice...
Now, I'm learning new planes, so it's only like .7 or something, probably less... :lol

:lol oUPTOWNo cant wait til I get back in town! I miss the morning crew :rock.

I ran into a B5N driver a couple of tours ago who gave me fits. I happened to be in a B pony and the combination of an outstanding gunner and this guys very creative evasives gave me fits. The gunner got rounds in me every pass it seemed. By the time I got the darn B5N lit up I was leaking gas, oil and water and he gave me a pilot wound on the pass that lit them up...Bats gunned for me on more then one occasion in the A-20 and a good gunner certainly complicates the equation a bit...

Aren't you the guy who is ALWAYS screaming on vox and sounding generally unpleasant? Will the pie sort that out?

I never cease to be surprised at how many of us are willing to take damage for one measly bomber kill, whether it be a B-17 or a B5N. 6 o'clock attacks will force you to rtb even if you get the kill.

me? i don't believe so.

Heh. My K/D is rarely above 1.5. I like to be in a 110 or a 190 going 100 MpH surrounded by Spitfires and N1K's to get above that.

my attack K/D is for that :D and it runs about 1.6 or so. I usually only fly in fighter mode when i have a wingman. My squadies in the 412th help my butt out quite a bit.
Do you fly different in fighter mode then attack mode?

I up in fighter mode if I'm going A2A and attack mode if I'm going A2G. So, yeah, you could say that :D
Sometimes I'll up with the intention to BnZ over a horde, but that usually turns in to with 'hmm, there's no one around, I'll commit to a fight with this guy' and then ends with 'WTF, where did those two Spitfires, N1K and P51 come from?!'
