Title: more P-40 action
Post by: caldera on March 15, 2009, 06:23:48 PM: Due to the overwhelming response to my last film post ;), I thought everyone would appreciate one more.
This one is only 2 minutes long so I think you can stay awake. I know 4 minutes was too long for the ADD crowd.

Hot off the presses. Recorded this afternoon:

P-40E vs P-51D

http://files.filefront.com/p40+vs+p51ahf/;13473078;/fileinfo.html (http://files.filefront.com/p40+vs+p51ahf/;13473078;/fileinfo.html)

A note of caution: another player utters a naughty word and I don't know how to edit the sounds. sorry

P.S. A friendly typhoon tries to pick my opponent during the fight but I'm not sure he impacts the contest.

edit: yup was me...I always like seeing people jumping out of the Uber rides once in a while and getting into something different. That's why I turned with ya instead of just BnZing you to death. After that fight I was saying..."dang, wish I had my 38 for that one" That would be a good film opportunity if you wanted to take me up on it somtime.

Watch your mouth portugal! :lol

Post by: caldera on March 16, 2009, 11:23:07 PM: Thank you for not BnZ-ing me to death. :D That's how most 51 drivers operate and it makes me wanna auger on purpose.
That was a fun fight and I'm glad you stuck it out. I think things would've been much different (and much shorter) if you were in a P-38. :salute

But I'm game anytime. I only fly 15 and up ENY planes and used to dying more often than not. I really dig the P-40 and it's my main ride of late.
A lot of people have underestimated it. I had an F4U-4 actually run from me yesterday. :rofl

Yup I noticed you're always in a high ENY plane...really is nice to see.

Regarding the -4 running...i'm not surprised lol :rofl
I upped a Boston one time and started dogfighting with a 109...he took off running after a few turns.

Post by: caldera on March 19, 2009, 10:03:18 AM: I love this plane! I got in a good scrap with a Spit 16 last night. This guy actually fought instead of flying in a luftberry. :salute
I took a few t-bone shots that are borderline "front quarter" (well, the first one is a front quarter :t) but I have relaxed rules for fighting spixteens. :D

You're lucky he dies so fast or the entire film would have been "@$^%^% &*^^ $$%^#@ *&%#@"

Nice fight.

Post by: RoGenT on March 28, 2009, 12:03:45 AM: Nice flying both of you (Cald and 4Buster) :salute

I wasn't suprised when I saw the potty mouth was Portugal :lol

And nice flying against Popapup; he usually wins every time when I get into fight with him
