Ever since I first came on more than a year ago, I have had the plane of all planes that has haunted me and my brother in this game.
My brother (Globe 3) and I have grown up around planes all our life and could tell you almost anything about a plane because we read many military books as kids. So, getting to the point several months back, when we were both in NOOB status we were flying in Spits, or Ponys, or whatever it may have been when we ran into a A-20. Both foaming at the mouths (cuz we know what an A-20 is), we pounced this guy and got shot down so fast it maid our heads spin. I have never seen an A-20 move like that. We respawned and respawned time after time and this guy took us down sortie after sortie. He and other A-20 flyers even took us down night after night for months in purple arena. After that we stayed the heck away from Havocs for the longest time.
I have never won against an A-20 until last week and it was marvelous. Pony with flaps coming down on his six, coming right behind him and entering stall speed I lit all 6 guns for what seemed like 20 seconds and he caught on fire. It was pure joy! Don't know what his name was but he saluted me.
The guy that haunted me in the puple may have had a callsign off eaglhart or einhart. not sure but he was good. Salute to him and salute to you fancy Havoc drivers!

It's not just the A-20 pilots that can surprise you... I've been frustrated against a Stuke pilot who had me turning with him long enough for his buddies to come in and finish me off. I wasn't really mad about getting shot down by the LA/Tempest combo - I was just amazed that the Ju-87 pilot was making me look like a fool. Ever since then, I've learned to brace for the worst against a theoretically "inferior" aircraft.
Cobia is an awesome A-20 pilot btw.
