My mic was broken for this frame so I'm not very audible. SgtTalen is responsible for most of the chatter in this film. This particular fight is one of two that stand out in my memory as the craziest flight sim aerial combats I've participated in.


I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all participants, organizers and the host REP0MANx who made all this possible. Also a big thanks to JG11 and Stampf, to whom I owe a lot.

 :salute

He always does.  :aok

Seriously the last few minutes of the fight is a textbook example of how to fly, and win a 2 v 2.  Highly impressive work.

We got lucky.  :D

Those 20s on the zeke are quite deadly, if the pilot know how to use them that's the key and most don't. If however you run into a stick that know how to use them, you will probably find out pretty fast.

What amazed me in this fight was how SgtTalen repeatedly seemed to come out of nowhere to save my butt. :lol

Yes, we were both very lucky that time.

Kept my eye on you the entire fight after canukk was shot down. Didn't stray to far from ya otherwise i knew you'd be toast deck low with 3 zekes. Just call it brotherly love and we shall call it a day my friend.  ;)

danke kommandore  :salute. Was the best fight i've had to date in a FSO. The adrenaline was pumping!  :O

It sure was intense! We both lost our wingman. 33jtr went into the drink because of his oil leak and I was given no opportunity to even see where he went because of the zeke swarm coming down on me.

Afterwards it made me think about the guys who did this for real, and how bad it must have felt to lose a good friend that way and not even be able to see him ditch but instead fight for your own life. HUGE respect for the men who did this for real.

Took A LOT of hits, had holes in the wing from 20s but the elevator was the only damage listed.
